Explanation
ฉลาก has two common modern uses. It can mean a label on a product, food package, medicine, or container. Such a label identifies the item or provides ingredients, directions, and warnings. ติดฉลาก means “attach a label,” and บนฉลาก means “on the label.” It can also mean a slip used in a random drawing. This use is especially common in จับฉลาก, meaning “draw lots” or “hold a random drawing.”
Usage
It is commonly used when discussing product information, ingredients, expiration dates, or directions on medicine. It also appears when people randomly choose groups, turns, prizes, or participants at schools, workplaces, and events.
Caution
Use the context to distinguish “label” from “lot.” ฉลากยา means “medicine label,” while จับฉลาก means “draw lots.” In names for lottery tickets and official lotteries, สลาก is more commonly used.
