My thanks to all for their input. I chanced on some interesting reading yesterday in Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2017 / Rules and Regulations. In this document, there are some exceptions to physical labeling where an electronic display of the required information is allowed, if certain guidelines are followed.
This is a particularly attractive method to convey the required information and a potentially excellent method to address my concerns in this thread. Has anyone used this method that can identify any foibles and pitfalls? Is a similar (or the same) approach accepted by IC?
