Please refer to your current NBS Classification (BlueBook) for labeling requirements


2011/2012 NBS Classification Book:

Labeling: Although not required unless specified in the classification or by the award, labeling aids judges and educates viewers.

Assortment classes 6- 0, 7- 0, 20- 0 and summary Sees. 16, 21, and 26 require labeling all buttons according to class and mounting in numerical order. Each button shall be labeled with only one class number whether or not it may represent more than one class. Rebus buttons and pictorial symbols (Sec. 22) require labeling, as well as awards written for radiants (Sec.7).

Back marks may be labeled "back mark" or described ("Battersea 1998" for example). The buttons of Div. II should be labeled whenever the name of the issuing organization is not shown in the button design, even if the logo or insignia is commonly recognized. Labels should be typed or printed legibly and placed on the front of the tray.

Inaccurate labeling when labeling is required can result in the disqualification of the tray at the discretion of the judges with the approval of the Chairperson of judges. Inaccurate labeling when labeling is not a requirement will not disqualify the tray but will detract from it. (End of the 2009 NBS)
Also, you must label if the award is written to include labeling even if labeling is not required for that section.
