Variants
The three GARAN label variants
The GARAN label comes in three variants. Colour is used for web and physical retail, black-and-white for physical retail only, and the space-saving nested variant for online retail only. With the nested variant, the full label must appear on the first click or tap.
Colour
The default variant. It is required online and may also be used in physical retail. When in doubt, use colour.
Black and white
Provided for physical retail only, for example on printed material where colour is not available. It must not be used as the online label.
Nested (compact)
A space-saving variant for online retail only. It shows the duration compactly, but the full label must appear on the first click or tap, so shoppers can always reach the complete information.
