English term

indication copy

English to German Other Printing & Publishing
As part of printed material, I am assuming these are printing terms.
indication copy
violator copy
badge
callout

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you;)

copy = text It is possible that 'copy' is not to the understood in the sense of 'an instance of a physical/digitial product' but in the sense of 'text' (as in 'copywriter'). 'Indication' can be a flag that points to text; the 'indication copy' would then be the text (copy or label) for that indication. A 'violator' is an element that disrupts a design with elements such as a color burst or a bar on a package or magazine cover with the intention of attracting special attention. A 'badge' would be exactly that: A usually round element with some text inside, such as "New formula" or "blablabla award of 2024" or simply "New!". A 'callout' is a (round or rectangular or irregular) bubble with a little arrow and text inside and would correspond to 'Sprechblase'.

Seufz Ja, genau - dies ist wohl die vierte Frage heute, wo der Kontext fehlt...
As always: context required!

Peer comment(s):

neutral thefastshow : Never heard indication copy in that context. Could you add some explanatory examples of the source term?

neutral Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers. : How can you be that sure without having any context? You're assuming that copy means a physical (or digital) instance of a product. However, not even the person posting the question is sure about whether this is actually about printing.
