Soap & Cosmetic Labeling Book – Corrections to Third Edition

There are no corrections for the 3rd Edition of Soap & Cosmetic Labeling.

Corrections to Second Edition:

Two pages of my book Soap and Cosmetic Labeling (2nd Edition) should be corrected.  If you have the book, please update your book.

Quantity of Contents Example (page 49)

There was an error in the calculation of the size of the Principal Display Panel in the example (3 x 6 does not equal 12!) which resulted in the subsequent calculations and the example being incorrect.

Please download this revised page 49, and tape it over top of the page in your book.  This applies to all printings of the 2nd edition prior to 2013.

Ingredient Declaration Text Size (page 66)

The first paragraph on that page states:

If the total surface area is less than 5 square inches, it can be reduced to not less than 1/32″ high.

This is incorrect; the cutoff for 1/32″ high text in the ingredient declaration is actually 12 square inches (PDP size).

The paragraph should read:

If the total surface area is less than 12 square inches, it can be reduced to not less than 1/32″ high.

Please correct your edition of the book accordingly.  

This applies to all printings of the 2nd edition prior to 2013.
