Sec. 18.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this rule, labels for products to be shipped interstate by an establishment that is a selected establishment under 9 CFR Part 381, Subpart Z shall comply with the requirements for participation in the interstate shipment program, such as label approval under 9 CFR Part 381, Subpart N. Except as provided in subsection (d), no label shall be used on any product until it has been approved in its final form by the board. For the convenience of the establishment, sketches or proofs of new labels may be submitted in triplicate through the officer in charge to the division for approval and the preparation of finished labels deferred until such approval is obtained. All finished labels shall be submitted in triplicate through the officer in charge to the division for approval.

(b) In case of lithographed labels, paper take-offs, in lieu of sections of the metal containers, shall be submitted for approval. The paper take-offs shall be in the form of a negative but shall be a complete reproduction of the label as it will appear on the package, including any color scheme involved. In case of fiber containers, printed layers, such as the kraft paper sheet, shall be submitted for approval in lieu of the complete container.

(c) Inserts, tags, liners, pasters, and like devices containing printed or graphic matter and for use on, or to be placed within, containers and coverings of product shall be submitted for approval in the same manner as provided for labels in subsection (a), except that officers in charge may permit use of such devices that contain no reference to product and bear no misleading feature.

(d) Stencils, labels, box dies, and brands may be used on shipping containers and on such immediate containers as tierces, barrels, drums, boxes, crates, and large-size fiberboard containers provided the markings are:

(1) applicable to the product;

(2) not false or deceptive; and

(3) used with the approval of the officer in charge.

The inspection legend for use in combination with such markings shall be approved by the board.
