Today there are lots of cool looking products on the markets, each with different labels and sometimes these labels do take a lot of space due to the many regulations they need to cover.
There are too many new marks, some even duplicate, its confusing and a distraction from important information that you want the user to note.
Next problem is that products are getting smaller in todays world. So sometimes there is physically no room on the product and some marks are becoming illegible.
This brings up old fashioned approach which might take up 6 months lead time to implement. Retooling may be required some times, which leads to more time lost and more difficulties and costs. And not to forget the material scraping.
To this problem, there is the electronic label (or E-label) as a solution.
Here you can use a products own display to show the regulatory and other important information that you would normally show on a physical label.
Also you could provide a link to an internet website where you provide more info. Or by scanning a QR code you would link them to the label on internet. Some products already use an e-label, like many mobile /cell phones.
So in short:
- Physical labels on the product:
– Too many marks
– Too much complexity
– Products are getting smaller
- E-Labelling: (A modern flexible approach)
– No physical restrictions
– Can be updated throughout the life of the product
– Accessible
– Greener!
