Multi-language labelling — corporate merch in Portugal
Portuguese + English + ES / FR / DE variable-data labels for Iberian and pan-European campaigns: care symbols on textiles, allergens on food gifts, country-of-origin "Made in Portugal" and recipient personalisation in one SKU.
Multi-language labelling — short answer
Each item ships with a label-pack containing Portuguese (required by Lei de Defesa do Consumidor) and English plus optional ES / FR / DE / NL for cross-border distribution. Variable-data print attaches recipient name and message. Mandatory EU labels (care, washing, allergens, country of origin) come standard.

Portugal-specific labelling notes
Lei 24/96 (Lei de Defesa do Consumidor) makes Portuguese mandatory on consumer-goods labels; EU Regulation 1007/2011 governs textile fibre composition; EU Regulation 1169/2011 (FIC) governs food labels. For B2B gifts to employees consumer rules do not strictly apply but most clients still want Portuguese + English on every label as best practice. AT-certified invoice references GTIN when relevant.
