What's the most practical approach to handling deposit return scheme logos on labels when exporting to multiple countries with different DRS requirements?

Members have found that you cannot simply print multiple DRS logos on a single label—regulatory guidance from bodies like the WSTA indicates you risk confusing customers with conflicting information. The workarounds members have actually used are:

- **Manual over-stickering** — Print base labels without DRS logos, then hand-apply the correct market-specific logo or sticker before shipment. One member reported their team (including a family member doing the work) cut out and applied relevant logos for different markets (e.g. Australia). It's labour-intensive and costly, but avoids reprinting entire batches and was confirmed as "the quickest, cheapest solution" they could find for low volumes.

- **Separate print runs per market** — The alternative is running separate label print jobs for each country/DRS scheme, which scales better as volumes grow but requires higher minimum orders and more complex inventory management.

**Caveats:** The manual approach becomes a genuine bottleneck as you add more export markets. Members acknowledged the regulatory constraint is real—you genuinely cannot use multiple logos on one label design without breaching guidance on consumer confusion. For multi-market exports, you need to commit to either separate labels per territory or accept the labour cost of post-production stickering.
