The label can be a simple attached tag or an elaborately designed graphic that is part of the package. A label performs several functions.
First, it identifies the product or brand—for in-stance, the name Sunkist stamped on oranges. It might also grade the product; canned peaches are grade-labeled A, B, and C.
The label might describe the product: who made it, where and when, what it contains, how it is to be used, and how to use it safely.
Finally, the label might promote the product through attractive graphics.
