According to EU Food Labeling Regulation (Regulation 1169/2011), mandatory label elements such as product name, ingredients, and expiration date must have a font size of at least 1.2mm based on the x-height. The x-height refers to the height of the lowercase "x" and is used to measure font size. For small packages with a front surface area of 80cm² or less, an exception allows a minimum font size of 0.9mm.

While the EU doesn't restrict specific fonts, legibility is a top priority. To ensure clarity, avoid overly decorative or thin fonts and colors that blend into the background.

Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to delays in customs or requests for label reattachments. Therefore, if you're considering exporting to the EU, it's essential to check these regulations during the design phase.

A Secret Room Inside a Convenience Store? The Rise of Themed Retail Spaces🚪

In the UK, convenience stores are evolving from quick-stop neighborhood shops into curated spaces tailored to modern consumer tastes.

At Premier, one of the country’s major convenience store chains, a new “Vape Vault” has been introduced—housing over 500 vape products in a dedicated space. With neatly organized shelves and staff support, it offers a smooth and focused shopping experience. No longer just a place to drop by, it’s becoming a destination in itself.

Another standout is the “Beer Cave,” a walk-in space dedicated to chilled beer. Some stores have reported over a 30% increase in alcohol sales since adopting the concept, showing how immersive retail design can drive real results.

Think beyond shelves—these spaces could soon host tasting events or hands-on experiences. It’s not just smart retail; it’s how convenience stores are turning into places people actually want to hang out in.

CJ CheilJedang is turning up the heat in Europe with the launch of new squeezable Bibigo Gochujang and Bibigo Ssamjang.

Hitting shelves in Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands, these convenient tube-style sauces are designed with local palates in mind. The texture has been made lighter, while the saltiness is toned down—balanced out with fermented onion and garlic for a richer umami flavor. Beyond Korean classics like tteokbokki and bulgogi, the sauces are versatile enough to double as salad dressings or dipping sauces.

With distribution through major retailers like Sainsbury’s and Albert Heijn, CJ CheilJedang plans to expand its presence in the global K-sauce market.

Recently, major convenience stores have been transforming into "health curation stores" with a focus on health supplements. By prominently featuring vitamins, probiotics, and collagen, and expanding their own private brand (PB) products, these stores are improving accessibility with smaller packaging and functional products.

GS25 has made popular supplements like vitamin C and collagen easily available for quick purchases. CU has responded to the busy lifestyles of the MZ generation by offering weekly-packaged nutritional supplements under its "Health Zone," while strategically placing probiotics and lutein products for better visibility. 7-Eleven is also showcasing health-conscious options like red ginseng and fatigue-recovery vitamins, aligning with rising consumer interest in health. Daiso has gained popularity by offering affordable health supplements like vitamin D and omega-3 at under 5,000 KRW, attracting consumers who prioritize quality at a reasonable price.

Convenience stores and Daiso are bringing a wide range of health products closer to consumers, making health care more accessible than ever.
