Help with Label Inquiry by bw166

The below provides a primary overview of what’s included in Label Inquiry by bw166.

Using the Text Search field, users can search for the occurence of a particular word or words anywhere on the label. Results are based on an OCR scan of all the label images and text included in the COLA filing. Alternatively, this search can be limited to specific fields (Brand and Company) to further fine tune the results.

Label Color

Additionally, bw166 analyzes all colors deployed on each label, allowing customers to filter for specific predominant color choices. For instance, one can search for all labels where Blue is the dominant color. Combined with the other filters (outlined below) bw166 customers have a unique ability to search and sift through competetive labels.
