We’ve Done This Before

Europe led the way with fundamental changes in nutrition labeling. Our best practices have been tested and proven in response to EU regulation 1169/2011:

Get Out in Front
To avoid panic as deadlines approach, commit to planning now. Don’t underestimate the amount of preparation and work these regulatory changes will require. To avoid rushing as the compliance deadlines approach, commit to an action plan now. We’ve seen firsthand how important it is to structure your communications, management and implementation plans.
Audit
It’s essential to audit and assess all of your current packaging files to determine what the changes mean for your brands. Depending on the extent of packaging redesign that will be necessary, you may want to consider external resources for project management and audit assessment.
Measure
Once your audit is complete, it’s time to determine timelines and costs. Schawk can help you size up the situation, as well as provide an implication assessment.
Manage
When many of our European clients did not have the resources to manage such immense changes, we provided project managers to help see the transition through. If you’re unsure that you’ll be able to handle the update on your own, we also offer training and education.
Action
In order to ideally touch packs only once, audit and assess all of your current packaging files to determine how many SKUs will need to be updated in the graphics supply chain—a process that requires meticulous planning in its own right. Depending on the extent of packaging redesign that will be necessary, you may want to consider external resources for project management and audit assessment.
