Canada
Marking and Labeling
It doesn't sound like a particularly exciting topic, but it's absolutely
critical to your success in entering the Canadian market. For example:
Did you know that anything sold at that ever present point-of-sale (POS)
display at the end of aisle 4 in Canadian Tire must have bilingual
(English/French) labeling?
Did you know that the standard size 303 can that American's use for
everything from soup to nuts isn't accepted under Canadian packaging
requirements?
Did you know that metric is the preferred labeling standard?
The following are some helpful guides to assist you in determining what's
right for you.
