Print butter was a type of butter which was printed with "some emblematic device" as a marketing device. [1] It remained in production from at least 1791 [2] to 1949 [3]. [4] References to print butter remain in the State of Connecticut, United States, legal code, requiring print butter to have the net weight printed in at least one-half inch high Gothic letters. [4]
