Period
This label was never used on an actual can.
Canada
Fisheries for Pacific salmon go back thousands of years. Indigenous fishers around the Pacific Rim seasonally harvested salmon from populations of the seven different salmon species. With European colonization, Pacific salmon were transformed by industrial modes of production and distribution into a commodity available around the world. British Columbia become a key center of cannery production beginning in the 1870s. By the early 1900s, BC’s salmon fisheries were Canada’s most valuable, producing millions of pounds of canned salmon, primarily for export to Great Britain. The Cassiar Packing Co. was established in 1903 and operated on the Skeena River in northern BC until 1983. As of 2018, there are only three canneries still operating in British Columbia thanks to the introduction of salmon stocks via aquaculture: St. Jean’s in Nanaimo; Coastwise Processors Inc. in Surrey; and Canfisco’s Oceanside cannery in Prince Rupert. Les pêcheries pour le saumon de la pacifique reculent des milliers d'années. Les Autochtones étaient de pécheurs tout au long de la Pacifique et cueillais sept espèces différentes. Avec la colonisation Européen le saumon était transformé par les modes de production industrielle pour devenir une commodité distribuée au monde entier. La Colombie-Britannique est devenue un endroit clés pour la production de saumon en conserve depuis les 1870s. Au début des 1900s les compagnies de la province sont devenues les plus profitables et produisait des millions de livres de saumon en conserve pour l'exportation en Grande Bretagne. Le Cassiar Packing Co. étais établi en 1903 et à continuer sa production jusqu'à 1983 sur la rivière Skeena en Colombie-Britannique. Depuis 2018 il y a seulement trois compagnies de cannettes en conservent en opération en Colombie-Britannique grâce à l'introduction de l'aquaculture : St. Jean's à Nanaimo; Coastwise Processors Inc. a Surrey; et Canfisco's Oceanside cannery à Prince Rupert.
Function
Labels are used to identify and market cans and cases of Pacific salmon preserved by canning. Labels usually indicate the species of salmon, the brand, the company, and the place of manufacture, and often the label printer as well. Labels are used to communicate with consumers, describing the contents to them as well as convincing them that the food inside is delicious and safe to consume. Labels sometimes graphically show the product inside, but more typically present imagery that attempts to influence purchasing decisions by creating brand associations that aim to attract and keep consumer interest. Des étiquettes sont utilisées pour identifier des canettes en conservent pour du saumon de la Pacifique. Les étiquettes indiquent l'espèce de saumon ainsi que la compagnie, la marque et le lieu du fabricateur et de l'imprimante. Les étiquettes communiquent avec les consommateurs pour décrire le contenu de la cannette pour essayer de les convaincre que les aliments à l'intérieur son délicieux et sûrs à consommer. Les étiquettes utilisent de graphiques pour démontrer des images pour influencer le consommateur en créant une marque pour faire des associations avec de la qualité du produit et pour s'assurer de garder de l'intérêt avec le consommateur.
Technical
This label employs “Victory” as their brand, identifying their product with the war effort during the Second World War. As in the First World War, the Canadian government encouraged the consumption of fish in order to reserve meat for fighting men—canners used brands such as “Victory” to associate their products with wartime food policy, linking consumption to the war effort. Cette étiquette utilise le mot “Victory” ou “Victoire” comme marque pour identifier leur produit avec les efforts de la guerre durant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Le gouvernement du Canada encourageait la consommation du poisson par les citoyens pour réserver la viande pour les personnes qui se battaient en Europe. Les marques comme celle-ci était utilisé pour s'associer avec la politique de l'alimentation du temps de guerre et les efforts nécessaires pour gagner.
