When creating a label for a product or item, it is important to make sure that all of the relevant information is included. In most cases, labels should contain the following information:
- Name of the item
- Ingredients or contents
- Quantity
- Net weight
- Net volume
- Expiration or best-by date
- Instructions for use or care
- Country or region of origin
- Manufacturer or distributor
- Bar code or lot number
- Warning or caution information
These items are all necessary in order to ensure that the customer has all of the information needed to make an informed purchasing decision. Additionally, the label should be easy to read and understand, so that the customer can access the information quickly.
However, there is one item that should not be included on the label: advertising. Advertising for the product or for other products should not be included on the label. While it may be tempting to take advantage of this space to promote the product, it is important to avoid this as it can be distracting to the customer and detract from the main purpose of the label.
