Termékcímke

Termékcímke is the Hungarian word for product label. A product label is a piece of paper, plastic film, or other material affixed to a container or product, or attached to it, on which is written or printed information about the product or its contents. Product labels serve various purposes, including identifying the product, providing instructions for use, listing ingredients or components, warning of potential hazards, and complying with legal requirements.

In Hungary, as in many other countries, product labels are regulated by specific laws and directives to ensure consumer safety and provide accurate information. These regulations often cover aspects such as mandatory information that must be included, language requirements (typically Hungarian), and specific labeling for certain product categories like food, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals.

The information found on a termékcímke can vary greatly depending on the type of product. For food items, it commonly includes the product name, net weight, list of ingredients, nutritional information, allergen warnings, manufacturer or distributor details, and a best-before or expiry date. For non-food items, labels might detail usage instructions, safety precautions, material composition, origin, and warranty information. The design and placement of the termékcímke are also important for marketing and branding, helping consumers distinguish products in a competitive market.
