Law Label Lookup™ Guide

Self-Manage vs. Supplier Connect

When you enroll in Law Label Lookup™ as a retailer, you can choose who you want to manage your digital law labels: either yourself or your suppliers. Explore the process, costs, perks, and considerations for management below.

Who do you want to manage your digital law labels?

I Want to Self-Manage

With Self-Management as a retailer, you will upload each of your licenses and law labels yourself.

I Want My Suppliers to Manage

With Supplier-Management, each of your suppliers will upload their own licenses and labels.

Retailer-Managed / Self-Managed

Overview & Perks

Take control over your data using the GRS system for license and label storage. You upload and manage URNs, licenses and law label files for each of your factories and products.

  • Online visibility of law labels through a branded, public-facing Law Label Lookup™ page 
  • GRS works with your e-commerce team to implement Law Label Lookup™ links on your retail website’s product pages 
  • Control over licenses and labels 
  • No additional costs to suppliers

Considerations

  • While Self-Management is less expensive than Supplier-Management, it is much more taxing on a retailer’s time and energy 
  • In order to upload law label files, the factory’s URN must first be enrolled in one of GRS’ Monitored Services. 
  • You must upload and upkeep all law label files yourself, regardless of your selection of Monitored Services
GlobalTrak
  • Self-manage your licenses with little support from GRS. 
  • You must upload each of your suppliers’ URNs and all agency licenses (dependent on product type). 
  • You must upload each of your suppliers’ law labels. 
  • You must obtain all license copies as they are renewed and upload them to your GRS account for verification.
License Management
  • Get comprehensive compliance support from GRS. 
  • Pay as you go. 
  • You must upload each of your suppliers’ law labels. 
  • GRS manages license renewals on your behalf.  
  • You must facilitate the submission of a signed consent form from your manufacturer to GRS. 
  • Manufacturer license costs are billed to the retailer’s account. Since GRS has no relationship with the manufacturer under Retailer Self-Management, you must facilitate the communication of compliance requirements between GRS and your manufacturers.
Guaranteed Compliance
  • Get comprehensive compliance support from GRS. 
  • Pay one convenient annual invoice. 
  • You must upload each of your suppliers’ law labels. 
  • GRS manages license renewals on your behalf.  
  • You must facilitate the submission of a signed consent form from your manufacturer to GRS.  
  • Manufacturer license costs are billed to the retailer’s account. Since GRS has no relationship with the manufacturer under Retailer Self-Management, you must facilitate the communication of compliance requirements between GRS and your manufacturers.

Why Do I Need to Upload URNs and Licenses?

Law Label Lookup™ empowers retailers to store their law labels online in order to stay compliant with digital labeling laws. However, even a law label with 100% compliant terminology and formatting will be considered non-compliant if the product has improper or lapsed licensing. 

With GRS’ Retail Compliance program, suppliers will upload their URNs and licenses for verification under a Monitored Service to ensure their compliance. Along with your digital law labels on Law Label Lookup™, you will have full peace of mind about your comprehensive compliance.
