Label Printing and Legal Obligations in the Food Sector

Food label printing is not only a visual task, but also a serious legal responsibility. Turkish Food Codex and relevant communiqués determine the information that must be included on the label with strict rules. A professional printing partner of yours must be familiar with this legislation and manage the production process accordingly.

Mandatory Label Information: Product name, list of ingredients (in decreasing order), net amount, country of origin, company name and address, expiry date/recommended consumption date, party/lot number, nutritional declaration (under certain conditions) and allergen information (highlighted) must be included.

Technical and Safety Requirements:

• Food Contact Compatibility: The inks, lacquers and adhesives used must not migrate to food and must comply with European Union and Turkish legislation (such as EU 10/2011).
• Durability: Moisture and ice resistant material/adhesive for cold chain products; For oily products, oil resistant laminations should be used.
• Readability: Font size is determined by regulation. For frozen products, it is essential that the label maintains its readability in cold and humid environments.
• Certificate Logos: The use of certification logos such as organic, halal, geographical indication depends on the permission received from authorized institutions and must be printed correctly.

Label Design for Cosmetics and Care Products

In the cosmetics industry, the label is the most important element that embodies the promise of the product and the spirit of the brand. The consumer makes his decision within seconds, and the design, texture and quality of the label play a decisive role in this decision.

Material and Application Strategy: Metallized paper, vellum or textured special papers are often preferred in luxury perfume and care series. For wet environment products such as shower gel and shampoo, water-resistant synthetic film (PP/PET) labels and waterproof adhesives are a must. For small tubes and bottles, the size and shape of the label should be designed considering ease of application and aesthetic integrity.

Legal and Informational Content: Cosmetic product labels must contain an ingredient list in INCI (International Cosmetic Ingredient Terminology) format, net ingredient amount, expiration date (with PAO - Period After Opening symbol), batch number, manufacturer information and instructions for use. The use of claims such as "Cruelty-Free", "Vegan", "Natural" must be verifiable and the relevant logos must be placed correctly.

Digital Integration: A QR code printed on the label can increase interaction by directing the consumer to the product's web page, usage videos, certification information or social media channels.
