Sec. 610.62  Proper name; package label; legible type.

    (a) Position. The proper name of the product on the package label 
shall be placed above any trademark or trade name identifying the 
product and symmetrically arranged with respect to other printing on the 
label.
    (b) Prominence. The point size and typeface of the proper name shall 
be at least as prominent as the point size and typeface used in 
designating the trademark and trade name. The contrast in color value 
between the proper name and the background shall be at least as great as 
the color value between the trademark and trade name and the background. 
Typography, layout, contrast, and other printing features shall not be 
used in a manner that will affect adversely the prominence of the proper 
name.
    (c) Legible type. All items required to be on the container label 
and package label shall be in legible type. ``Legible type'' is type of 
a size and character which can be read with ease when held in a good 
light and with normal vision.
