Thank you John for this clearification. However, the term FAKE we already have used in this catalog for labels that somebody has produced to deceive us (see the GALAPAGOS fake), so we can't use it for the Chinese label the same time.

I still think it is useful to classify some kind of labels, but we do not have a common notification and sometimes it is mixed (like INSPECTION- and QUALITY LABEL). Our classification of banana labels does need a rework. But it is not clear how we will perform it. There is an incomplete article in the article section to start a discussion about it, but so far not many collectors participate.

Quite obvious are the terms WRAPPER or BAGLABELS (for labels that do not stick on the bananas but on the packaging). We have got PROMO for home made labels that are not intendet to use on bananas and - so far - FRAUD for the Chinese labels, that imitate the brands of premium bananas (in this case TURBANA). But this is all not free from overlapping. So I would be happy to get more feedback of our terms we use in the catalog at the mentioned article.
