Section 186.2 - Branding

All closed packages of apples must be plainly marked with:

(a) The name of the variety of apples contained within the package. If the name is not known, the package shall be branded "Variety unknown".
(b) The grade of apples contained therein.
(c) The minimum diameter or numerical count of the apples contained in the package. (The maximum size may also be stated, and it is desirable that it be included in export shipments.)
(d) The quantity of apples contained in the package, either by weight or measure.
(e) The name and address of the packer or person by whose authority the apples were packed and the packages marked. When the branding of any closed package of apples is changed, the person by whose authority the change is made shall cancel the name and address of the original packer and substitute therefor his own name and address.
(f) The words "New York" or the abbreviation therefor shall also be marked upon the package, if the apples were grown in New York State.
(g) All markings shall be clear and legible. Height of letters or numbers, indicating the grade and minimum diameter or numerical count shall be at least equal in height to all other required markings.
(1) For packages containing more than 10 pounds net, all markings shall be in letters or numbers not less than three-eighths inch in height.
(2) For packages containing 10 pounds or less, all markings shall be in letters or numbers at least one-eighth inch in height.
(3) All markings may be applied by the use of rubber stamps or stencils or by the use of pasters or labels attached upon or inserted, face out, within a transparent package. Other marks designating private brands will be permitted, but must not include any statement conflicting with the markings required by statute or by these rules and regulations.
(h) United States Standards for apples for processing may be used on apples intended for canning, freezing or drying, provided the grade is preceded by the word "Processing".
