Overview: 

An LMPC Label/ Artwork refers to the mandatory declarations required to be printed on pre-packaged commodities under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, framed under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. 

The LMPC label ensures that consumers receive clear, accurate and complete information about a packaged product before purchase and helps prevent misleading practices and unfair trade. 

Legal Metrology labelling is compulsory for manufacturers, packers and importers of pre-packaged goods intended for retail sale and plays a vital role in promoting transparency, fair trade practices and consumer protection in the market. 

Benefits: 

• Regulatory Compliance: Avoids heavy penalties and rejection at the port of entry during freight transport. 

• Seamless Market Access: Ensures that products moving via road freight or last mile delivery are legally sound. 

• Reduced Logistics Risk: Correct labeling significantly lowers the chance of shipment holds, optimizing your shipping cost. 

• Consumer Trust: Accurate declarations on your logistics website and physical packaging build brand credibility. 

• E-commerce Readiness: Compliant labels simplify the onboarding process for global freight forwarding clients in digital marketplaces.
