Sunblock Labels Battle It Out
Historically speaking, we’ve compared different brands of canned food products, marshmallow crème and even body wash. Most of the compared brands vary between well-established and brand new. This week, we’re putting a microscope on two high-end product labels to slam the gavel on just what distinguishes a good label from a great label.

When it comes to scented body wash, both Dove and Olay are household names. In the past, we’ve compared major companies with off-brands.

By producing a professional looking label, it instills confidence in the consumer, feels good to hold in your hand, and thus increases sales.
