A single product line shipped to the US, EU, UK, and Canada routinely fragments into 6-12 packaging variants, each demanding separate artwork, print plates, corrugated die tooling, and safety stock. Universal labels and packaging collapse this fragmentation into one substrate specification and one label architecture that satisfies the strictest applicable jurisdiction.
