Hold on to your hats, compliance labeling is going to be getting bigger. Compliance labeling in the manufacturing and warehousing industry is incredibly important. Incorrect labeling can create issues with channel deliveries, delays, fines, and loss of business, because of shipping delays and non-compliance. Compliance labeling is used in retail, food industry, auto, electronics, healthcare, and many others.
Compliance labeling used depends upon your industry. The food packaging industry must include calories, ingredients, and food allergens. Retail labeling requirements include GS1-128, which was developed to create global standardization for the exchange of data. The symbology coordinates with a pre-determined description. The Unites States Department of Agriculture has recently developed the requirement of the USDA 2009 Country of Origin Labeling. Labeling also includes BISG ISBN Carton Labels, SCC-14, ISBN, Bookland EAN, and UPC, GTIN Database. It just keeps getting more complicated from there.
Most labeling systems integrate both shipping label and packing slips printed on a single unit. These systems also allow you to label and track the products. In the manufacturing industry, it is essential that the labeling system is efficient, does not smudge the label, utilized bar-coding systems, incorporate the appropriate information, has a reliable high volume printer, and works efficiently, so that production is not disrupted.

You'll want to get some legal guidance here, or risk a lawsuit later on. Compliance is a sticky subject that must be handled with due diligence. Industry watchdog Websites should have more information on your particular business and the expected guidelines.
Thanks. Very helpful.
