Depending on the color of the carton (brown or white), four different options are available for the direct printing option. White and brown cartons can be printed with the 1c and 2c versions, whereas the 3c and 4c versions can only be used for white cartons.
Legal restrictions
Legal restrictions have been taken into account in these design rules. Attention must be paid to the respective proportions of the elements as well as colors, line width and font sizes.
How to use the Bayer Logotype
The Bayer Logotype should always be placed on the back site of packaging.
Where foreign character versions of the Bayer logotype are used, e.g. in China, these versions must also be included. If you have any specific questions, please contact the relevant legal department in your business unit. Exceptions may apply in cases where multinational product packaging is used.
This rule applies for Crop Science product Level 1, 2, 3 brands. In addition, please note that local and national legal requirements for packaging are mandatory.
