Barcode and nutrition panel zones on a food box
Brand face, mandatory copy, barcode and nutrition panel are separate zones. Grapxo reserves layout zones on vector surfaces; table content and legal copy belong to the brand—it is not an image generator.
Zones first, decoration second
When mandatory copy, barcode and nutrition panel overlap, you risk printer and retailer rejects. Lock zones first; place decorative layers after.
Reserved fields in the brief
Nutrition panel size (if known), language, barcode type and quiet-zone note, net quantity, allergen emphasis. Content comes from the brand and compliance note; Grapxo does not invent it. Legal / table content belongs to the brand and regulator guidance.
Design pitfalls
Barcode on a crease; panels outside safe; mixing language versions. Quiet zone = empty space around the barcode—follow printer/barcode spec.

Frequently asked questions
Does Grapxo choose nutrition panel size?
No. Your brief and compliance note win.
What is a barcode quiet zone?
Empty space around the barcode; follow printer or barcode spec.
Do label and box share the same copy?
Often yes; each surface still needs its own zone plan.
