Product Certification Direction for National or Supplier Brand Packaging
Published on 10/09/2016 13:16 PM and last updated on 01/17/2018 04:01 AM
What is the certification process for National or Supplier Brand Packaging?
Suppliers should use their own “Made in the USA” logo treatments as shown in the examples below. We encourage suppliers to follow California and FTC guidelines when establishing logo claims for products packaging.
The images here of supplier packaging are examples for placement only.
“Made in the USA” Logo Placement: The preferred location of the “Made in the USA” logo is high on the primary display panel or front of package. The Made in USA logo should be large enough and prominent enough to be immediately apparent to the customer.
Supplier Packaging Liability
Notice
It is the merchandise supplier’s responsibility and legal liability to ensure that all product claims, warranties, warnings and product information comply with current government requirements by country, state, province, etc., including but not limited to consumer misuse warnings, product hazard warnings or environmental consequences from misuse. The supplier is responsible for ensuring that all warning information is compliant. The “Made in the USA” logo cannot be applied in the form of a sticker that would be added separately from other packaging— it may only be used if integral to product packaging. We do not recommend that “Made in the USA” be used on PDQs or pallet displays. If there is a business need to include this on your PDQ/Pallet Display, the Packaging Request Process should be followed.
