Here in the Philippines they have finalized requirements so that graphic health information will appear at the top 30% of the front, and the top 60% of the back. A separate law (which continues in force) requires a 30% text warning to appear on the front. Thus total messages on the front would be 60%. What is the situation in your country? Visit the Campaign for graphic warnings for inspiration.

Here in the Philippines they have finalized requirements so that graphic health information will appear at the top 30% of the front, and the top 60% of the back. A separate law (which continues in force) requires a 30% text warning to appear on the front. Thus total messages on the front would be 60%. What is the situation in your country?
