What is World Consumer Rights Day & Why is it Important?
World Consumer Rights Day, observed every year on March 15, is a global event aimed at raising awareness about consumer rights and promoting fair business practices. It highlights the importance of protecting consumers from unfair trade practices, misleading advertisements, and unsafe products. This day serves as a reminder that businesses must ensure product safety, transparency, and ethical consumer treatment.
The Theme for 2025: A Just Transition to Sustainable Lifestyles This theme focuses on creating a consumer-friendly and sustainable economy where products are not only safe, properly labeled, and fairly priced but also contribute to environmental responsibility.
Consumer Rights & The Role of Safe and Transparent Packaging for Consumers
A major aspect of consumer rights is the right to receive a securely sealed and properly labeled product. It is essential that products have MRP, expiry date, batch coding, and other vital details printed clearly so that consumers:
Do not pay more than the MRP.
Receive products before their expiry date.
Can identify genuine & safe products.
Avoid misleading or fraudulent items.
Here are some examples where industries secure packaging & labeling plays a crucial role :
Food & Beverage Industry: Imagine buying a milk packet without an expiry date. Consumers may unknowingly consume a spoiled product, leading to health issues. Proper batch coding and expiry date printing using TIJ printers help maintain consumer trust.
Pharmaceuticals: Medicines require accurate batch coding and manufacturing/expiry dates. A wrongly labeled medicine could lead to serious health risks. Online TIJ printers ensure clear, smudge-proof, and permanent printing on medicine packaging.
FMCG & Retail: Products like spices, flour, pulses, or packaged snacks need correct pricing. Businesses must ensure that the MRP is clearly visible to prevent overcharging. FFS machines ensure airtight sealing and proper packaging, maintaining product integrity.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Items like shampoo, lotion, or face creams must have batch details and expiry dates. A missing label could mean an expired product reaching consumers. Band sealers & shrink tunnels provide tamper-proof sealing, ensuring consumer safety.
