Labelling Guidance For Product Containing More Than One Work
We have recently received one or two queries relating to the labelling of product which contains more than one work. Please find below a guidance note that clarifies the situation;
Where a trailer or DVD extra is the most restrictive work on a VHS or DVD, the unique title (screen title & VFC number) of said trailer or DVD extra AND the unique title (screen title & VFC number) of the lesser classified main feature should appear on the face label, along with the single most restrictive category symbol.
Where two or more works of equal importance appear on the recording, the label should carry the unique title of the work most prominently advertised on the front of the case or cover, on the understanding that this work will also carry the most restrictive classification. (It is an offence under the Trade Descriptions Act to display a category symbol on the label or packaging which does not apply to the title most prominently carried near it, since this constitutes a misleading trade description.)
In the case of anthologies, where no work is more prominently advertised on the cover than any other, the unique title of any work on the cover may be displayed on the label provided that this work carries the most restrictive classification.
If no individual work in an anthology is advertised on the front cover, the anthology must display on the label the unique title of at least one work with the most restrictive classification
