UKCA Mark
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a new UK product marking that is used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most goods which previously required the CE marking. It also applies to aerosol products that previously required the ‘reverse epsilon’ marking.
The CE marking is only valid in Great Britain for areas where GB and EU rules remain the same. If the EU changes its rules and you CE mark your product on the basis of those new rules you will not be able to use the CE marking to sell in Great Britain, even before 31 December 2022.
The UKCA marking can take different forms (for example, the colour does not have to be solid), as long as it remains visible, legible and maintains the required proportions. The UKCA Mark is available in the PackSymbol font. Just type ukca and the mark symbol appears
Why a font for packaging symbols?
Scalable
Enlarge or reduce with no loss in image quality. Symbols will print at the maximum resolution of the printer or output device.
Easy to use
Type the symbol name and the OpenType font converts to a symbol. Change colour and size as simply as any regular font.
Lightweight
Entire set of packaging symbols in one single font file. No need to link or embed multiple image files — resulting in smaller artwork files.
