plain packaging
No logos allowed
Plain packaging is standardized, unbranded packaging required by law for certain products—most notably tobacco.
The packaging removes logos, distinctive colors, and brand imagery, leaving only the product name in uniform text alongside health warnings.
The policy aims to reduce the appeal of harmful products, especially to young people: Australia pioneered plain packaging for cigarettes in 2012.
