Abstract
Objects, such as packages are marked for exterior labeling and to provide for easily locating such information. In a first embodiment, an information focal edge, or IFE is made by graphically “capturing” at least two corners of the object and connecting them with a marking, e.g., with ink. By “capturing” it is meant that the corner is marked on all sides forming the corner adjacent to the corner. In an alternative embodiment, two corners are captured using a structural edge or by otherwise marking an edge, thereby providing an “information focal edge,” or IFE. The IFE identifies a priority location where information should be placed so that it can be quickly found no matter how the object is viewed.
