A usable label photo set captures product identity, ingredients, analysis, adequacy, directions and lot information. One attractive front-of-bag image usually leaves the important comparison fields unreadable.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Front | Include exact recipe, format and net contents. |
| Back | Photograph panels straight on with readable small text. |
| Traceability | Add a separate close-up of lot and date markings. |

A practical example
For a curved can, take overlapping close-ups instead of one distorted photograph around the whole circumference.
Before you decide
Keep the photos together under the exact product name and purchase date.
