IPE ADVICE: Annual Labelling Check-up

We are inaugurating a new section with brief advice about labelling and solutions in packaging.

Some of the advice will be about printing formats, recommendations about materials, well, "technical advice".

We will also publish advice focused on themes related to "graphic design for labels" and, lastly, we will talk about other more “marketing-like” themes aimed towards positioning and differentiating products through labelling/packaging.

We leave you with the first piece of advice from this section: ANNUAL CHECK-UP for product LABELLING/PACKAGING.

Just like many other things we do on a personal scale (annual medical check-up, annual car service, etc..) every company that commercialises a product must think about an “annual check-up” for its labelling/packaging.

It is true that this point enters into the company’s marketing and communication goals but, very often, as it is one point within a long list of variables and factor to be considered, this “service” can go unnoticed.

  •          How can we protect and improve the visual image of a product?
  •         Should we review the packaging from last year and think about new changes?
  •          Is the label in line with the brand image and the values we want to transmit?
  •          Can the level of packaging/labelling costs and materials be optimised?
  •          Are there other applications that we could use?
  •          What happens when a competitor imitates our label image and design? Does this weaken or strengthen our image?


............these are just some of the questions that are worthwhile considering to ensure that the labelling/packaging is fulfilling its objectives.


There are currently thousands of materials, different printing techniques, hundreds of finishes and labelling trends, and all of this leads to multiple combinations and that’s why we would recommend you to contact us so that we can help you to find the best solution that best adapts to your labelling needs, both from the technical and conceptual points of view.
