Címkeborítás

Címkeborítás is a Hungarian term that translates to "label covering" or "label overlay." It refers to the practice of applying a new label or sticker over an existing one on a product. This is often done for various reasons, including updating product information, correcting errors on the original label, or rebranding a product without altering the original packaging.

In the context of consumer goods, címkeborítás might be employed by manufacturers or distributors to meet regulatory requirements, such as adding new ingredient lists or warning labels. It can also be used to adapt products for different markets, translating information or adding specific regional details. For retailers, it might be a way to update pricing or promotional information without needing to replace the entire product.

While címkeborítás can be a practical solution, it is important that it is done clearly and transparently. In some jurisdictions, there are regulations governing the use of label overlays to ensure consumers are not misled about the product's contents or origin. Consumers should be aware that a label might have been covered and look for any signs of tampering or inconsistencies. The practice is common across many industries, from food and beverages to cosmetics and electronics.
