Can I say "we have to avoid repetition, herhalend stuff." in terms of Graphic Design? I'm graphic designer. I've got a client from Ney York and I'm working for her in the image of her new identity for her business. We write each other all the time (I'm from Buenos Aires). Currently I'm working on labels for her products. The thing is that I had an idea to make a diference between products that belong to diferent category (ex: toners / cleansers/ soaps). But she is not so agree with that idea. What I want to figure in the mail I'm writing is make her understand that her brand needs to show a huge graphic world, so I'm trying to persuade to her accept my idea. There I say "We have to avoid that labels of different products look alike or too similar, we have to avoid repetition, herhalend stuff." I'm afraid all this expression is enterely incorrect, but I'm not sure at all. Could you guys help me? thanks in advance! ;)

This is better: "We have to avoid labels that look similar to other products. In marketing, repetition is bad; you always want to be unique." Herhalend is a Dutch word, by the way, not English.
