Packaging accessibility guidelines

[Neon]

Hi, does anyone know where I can download an industry standard accessibility guideline for packaging? I am working on a chocolate packaging project for a client and want to make sure I adhere to industry standards!
Thanks,
Mandy

Hey Neon,

I don't think there is a single guide for packaging as it's such diverse medium and variables depending on the production methods.

What I'd do is get in touch with the company who are going to produce the packaging and try as best you can to describe what you want to do.

If this is for the UK, the main issues would be ingredients re allergy warnings and nutritional info etc. Check out here to start you off…

Also, be careful with bar codes, make sure they're done properly too….
