Document: Packaging Copy. Include the approximate length, recipient, and deadline if you know them. We’ll review your request and may contact you by email about next steps.
What to know
Work from every face of the final package
Use this guide when several package surfaces, inserts, promotional claims, and print layouts must work together. Required product-label wording may be part of that package, but needs its own careful review.
Reader and purpose
Keep ingredient, material, quantity, and usage terms consistent with approved product data.
Quote details
Ask whether the Slovak copy must fit fixed space or can be redesigned.
Document guide
What to check before ordering
These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.
Identify the package and product rules
Give the category, model or SKU variants, intended Slovak buyer, destination market, approved source revision, and whether the words will be printed on a box, sleeve, insert, or sticker. Packaging copy can include promotional text as well as regulated information. Food, cosmetics, chemicals, and other products have different obligations; the manufacturer or compliance owner must identify the applicable requirements.
Collect the complete copy set
Include all package faces, inserts, warnings, instructions, quantities, ingredient or material wording where relevant, recycling or disposal text, claims, symbols, and text near a barcode or QR code. Compare the package with the product label, catalog, and instruction guide so the same feature or warning does not acquire a different meaning. Mark brand names and identifiers that must remain unchanged.
Keep claims and safety wording approved
The European Commission explains that consumer marketing can be misleading when material information is false or omitted. A translator should not add a benefit, remove a warning, or turn a conditional statement into an absolute claim. The product and regulatory owners should review the Slovak wording, required markings, and any destination-language rule before print; translation alone is not a packaging compliance approval.
Proof the physical artwork
Provide panel dimensions, editable design files, variants, word count, approval owner, print deadline, and any short-copy limits. W3C notes that translated text may take different space, so check font size, contrast, line breaks, cut lines, and whether all warnings remain readable on an actual-size proof. Describe the product category in the public quote form without disclosing unreleased formula or supplier details.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Answers to common questions before you request a quote.
Can one English panel be translated and reused for every SKU?
Compare the approved copy, quantities, claims, and warnings for each variant before reusing it.
Can the translated text go straight to print?
Arrange a final product, regulatory, and actual-size artwork proof first.
Should I request a product-label translation instead?
Use the product-label guide when the main task is the wording on the product or its immediate label, especially required instructions or warnings. Use this guide for the broader package copy and layout; a single launch may need both scopes reviewed together.
