Different industries have slightly different requirements
Common packaging information includes factory name and address, instructions for use, production date, shelf life, ingredient list, names and addresses of producers and distributors, contact information, food execution standard code, production license number, etc. These pieces of information are important channels for understanding products, as they not only affect the quality and safety of the products, but also directly impact consumers' purchasing decisions and user experience.
For the illegal act of incomplete food packaging information, relevant departments will take the following measures:
Order to rectify: Firstly, relevant departments will require food producers and operators to rectify their illegal behavior and ensure the completeness of information on food packaging.
Fines: If food producers and operators fail to correct or have incomplete information, they will face fines. The amount of the fine shall be comprehensively considered based on the nature, circumstances, and degree of social harm of the illegal act.
Packaging information refers to the sales information printed by distributors on the packaging of goods. Including trademarks, marks, prices, etc., which can affect consumers' perception of product quality and influence their purchasing behavior; It can refer to how to protect goods in the process of circulation or consumption, which should be appropriate and clear.
Label the manufacturer's information so that consumers can contact the manufacturer when needed. This is a mandatory regulation!
Provide the correct usage method of the product to ensure its safe and effective use, allowing consumers to intuitively understand how to use the product.
Indicate the production time of the product to help consumers determine its freshness and shelf life.
Indicate the period during which the product maintains quality under specific conditions to ensure food safety. Avoid situations such as food poisoning!
List all the ingredients in the product to help consumers understand its composition, especially for those with allergies.
Provide direct contact with manufacturers to facilitate consumer feedback and support.
Indicates that the product complies with national or industry standards, ensuring product quality. This requires national approval to be obtained!
Prove that the product has been reviewed and approved by relevant national departments and meets the requirements for production and sales.
The specifications and net content also need to be clearly labeled. The specifications for liquids are generally milliliters or liters, while the specifications for solids are grams or kilograms.
Three no products generally refer to products without production dates, quality certificates, and manufacturers. Another way of saying it is that "three no products" refer to products without a production factory name, a production site, or a production hygiene license code.

Simply put, it is a self designation starting with "GB", and the National Food Safety Law specifies that the packaging must continue to be labeled with the execution standard number. If not, a fine may be imposed, and in severe cases, the license may be revoked. If you find that the code name is not available, please choose the packaged food. It may be a non compliant product, make sure to purchase it!
Who usually provides this information and do designers handle it themselves
Usually, it is provided by the client to the designer, and then typeset by the designer on the printed file. If it is an internal fast-moving consumer goods enterprise, it is usually provided to the designer by product developers or product managers. Some of these contents are provided by the manufacturer, such as production licenses, ingredients, etc., while others can be freely written by developers based on product characteristics, such as product efficacy, selling points, etc. Product developers can polish them appropriately according to the selling points provided by the manufacturer! Put it on the packaging box!

Starting from October 1st, 2018.

Mainly responsible for designing and formatting the textual information provided by clients onto packaging boxes, allowing for free expression of formatting forms and innovations,
Many of the clients we serve don't understand these things either. They don't even have designers who understand them. Usually, they spend money to have the manufacturer's personnel do it!
Generally, larger fast-moving consumer goods companies have dedicated employees responsible for this area, with professional titles such as product development or product manager.
There are often errors in packaging design typesetting, which designers need to pay attention to. Many pieces of information are often modified multiple times or coordinated by multiple people. Sometimes, customers are in a hurry, resulting in errors in the final printing. In packaging designers, we usually need to develop a set of proofreading methods. Otherwise, if there are errors, customers often do not admit them, leading to packaging designers often being blamed!
