Approval Process
The MSC blue fish label and associated claims are a registered trademark and any usage must be approved. Submit your design and artwork to us.
Once you have a license to use the MSC blue fish label, we'll provide you with a high-resolution copy of the MSC blue fish label (formats: AI, EPS, JPEG, TIFF, PDF).
Using our guidance, design and submit for your artwork for approval. When your design has been agreed, we will send you written approval within 3 working days, to go ahead and publish your materials.
Packaging and menu approvals
Packaging graphics and use of the MSC blue fish label on-pack must be sent to and approved by the Ecolabel Account Manager. To use the MSC label on a product or menu item, at least 95% of the seafood must come from an MSC certified source. Your auditor may ask you to verify your calculation. Submit color proofs of your final draft design in PDF format with the relevant completed form.
