Does anybody a source where I can find informations about product graphics? Everyone I’ve ask so far has different opinions about placing graphics. So are there some layout rules?
Shouldn’t it depend on what type of product you’re trying to sell?
Utilize the flattest part of your product to display any 2D graphics…that way it can sit on the shelf and be seen by the consumers…

Product graphics including ornament, cosmetic and branding have no regulatory body rules regarding location, orientation, size, colour, etc. Corporate identification practices only apply.
Product graphics including safety certification labeling UL, CSA, CE, TUV, FCC, etc. do have size and placement guidelines. Other labeling such as NiCad battery no-dispose / recycle symbols also have size implementation guidelines.
These guidelines are available from their respective issuing bodies. A product application for certification can be conditionally rejected if label symbols are inappropriately applied.
