Which term is used to indicate packaging compliance with its design?

• A. Labels
• B. Stamps
• C. Markings
• D. Seals

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how a package shows it meets its approved design. Markings are the indicators that a packaging design has been tested and approved, and that the package conforms to that design. These marks are often printed or embossed on the package and can include the packaging type, the manufacturer's identity, date of manufacture, and compliance stamps or codes (for example, universal or design-specific marks that prove the packaging has passed required tests). Labels, by contrast, convey content, destination, or handling instructions; seals relate to tamper evidence or security, not design conformity. So markings are the appropriate term to indicate packaging compliance with its design.
