label
Name on packaging
A label is something that identifies or gives information about another thing and is typically attached to it: clothing care label, warning label.
A record label is used to identify a particular production company.
When you label something, you either attach a label to it, or by extension, you associate a particular quality with it: The newspaper falsely labeled me as a conservative.
Labeling requirements are rules or laws about what information must appear on the labels of products such as food: The company has lobbied against labeling requirements for GMO foods.
