Artifact Overview
Manufacturers of similar products sought ways to make their companies' goods stand out on store shelves. Some companies established a uniform label design for their multi-product offerings -- a strategy which helped customers distinguish one brand over another. Del Monte Brand products were identified by the company's characteristic green label and its signature "shield" logo. These design features are still found on Del Monte products today.
