Color and Brand Consistency for Food Labels and Packaging

Today we focus on two packaging aspects that are important to the companies: color choices and brand consistency for food labels and packaging.

Today we’re going to focus on two aspects that are fundamental to the success of just about all food companies: color choices and brand consistency. When it comes to your labels and packaging, these two aspects are deeply interrelated.
