Volumeetiket

Volumeetiket is a labeling concept used in packaging and logistics to convey the volume of a container’s contents. The label serves to inform buyers, handlers, and regulators about how much product is inside and, when required, the container’s nominal capacity. In practice, a volumeetiket may appear on the primary product label or as an external labeling element.

Typical elements on a volumeetiket include the nominal volume with unit (for example 750 mL or 1 L), and sometimes the actual fill volume, tolerances, or batch information. Additional data often present are the product name, lot or batch number, manufacturing or expiration date, storage instructions, and barcodes or QR codes. Units are usually metric (milliliters or liters) and the label follows the conventions of the relevant market. For regulatory and safety reasons, the volume information is designed to be easily readable and unambiguous.

Standards and compliance: labeling practices for volumetekets often align with general packaging regulations and barcoding standards, such as those defined by GS1 for net contents and product identification. Labels should be durable, legible, and resistant to moisture and abrasion to maintain accuracy through handling and shelf life.

Applications: volumeetikets are common on beverages, foods, cosmetics, chemicals, and household products, and may be used on bottles, cans, cartons, and secondary packaging. The term is used in several European languages and is distinct from, but sometimes confused with, volume labels in audio-visual or computing contexts.
