Translations of product packaging are especially important for businesses that import any of their stock. The packaging on a product will tell you more than just what it is - the label can also tell you where the product was made and what it was made out of. In addition, if you import food, toiletries, or skincare items, it is especially important that you have translations for these items and their packaging.

Different countries have different production standards for food products and skincare items, and what is legal to use in one country may be banned from use and distribution in your own country due to health and safety concerns. Having a good translation of the products you import will help you determine whether or not they are safe to sell. You may also be required by law to provide a translation of the packaging of your goods if one is not already provided. Misrepresenting the contents of an item can lead to fines, lawsuits, and even the loss of your business if someone is hurt due to your lack of oversight.

For example, if you import snack foods from another country, you need to have all of the packaging translated. If you left the packaging in its original state, and a consumer with food allergies purchased your product, they could become very sick from an allergic reaction. You may think that something is immediately obvious based on appearance, such as a bag of peanuts being clearly off-limits to those with peanut allergies, but you should protect yourself legally nonetheless. Clearly translated product packaging will help you avoid such a situation.

Skincare products also need clearly translated labels to account for possible allergic reactions to their active ingredients. Some people are allergic to certain acids or cleaning agents found in facial scrubs or lotions, and if they bought a product without translated packaging, they could risk their health. For example chemical burns caused by an allergic reaction can be extremely disfiguring. By translating the labels of your products, consumers can choose as to whether or not they will purchase them.

A good translation company will accurately translate your product packaging so that you can import and sell your goods without worry. Making use of product packaging translation services will go a long way towards establishing yourself as a responsible business owner. It is a small price to pay for your peace of mind!
