Björn Vrooman Jul 12, 2018:
I knew it! May be another industry, but please compare:

"These fat-free liquid extracts are economical to use as they are concentrated..."
(see my answer)

"hoch ergiebig und wirtschaftlich im Verbrauch"
http://www.schwenk-putztechnik.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/quic...

Call it male intuition. I knew there was something not quite right with economical to use. It's the other side of the equation.

Duden, meaning no. 2:
"(als Ausgangsstoff o. Ä.) viel ergebend; gute Ausbeute bringend"
https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/ergiebig

Regarding paint, ergiebig would be something like:
"You can wipe it, has high coverage (meaning less paint needed)"
http://www.kickscount.org.uk/baby-days-nursery-paint

When it comes to flavors, "(extra) rich," as I said when citing Watkins, could be a good option.

OK, it seems I need to add a couple of points.

First, you’ll notice that it says “hoch ergiebig,” not “sehr ergiebig.” The latter is much more common. It’s reasonable to assume that whoever wrote this was thinking of “hoch konzentriert.” Also, I’d be wary of equating “ergiebig” with “economical to use.” For example:

“Leichte Handhabung und mit 300 Tropfen hoch ergiebig”
https://www.vitalsana.com/bilder/upload/magazines/pdf/2015/0...

That’s highly concentrated—unless you want to tell me, “You need only 300 drops each time!”

Second, tropsehni said “from label.” Here are three American companies and their bottles:
https://flavorconcentrates.com/natural-flavor-concentrates/1...
https://www.amazon.com/Lorann-Oils-Fruit-Flavor-Pack/dp/B00V...
https://www.amazon.com/Flavor-Xtend-Natural-Flavoring-Concen...

None of these put “economical to use” on the label. It’s “highly concentrated.”

Three ENS companies offering similar products:
https://www.blackpoolrockandnoveltiesltd.com/food-flavouring...
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180419006064/en/Fla...™-Introduces-Alcohol-Free
https://www.majorint.com/flavour-portfolio/stock-base-powder...

Same result: “highly concentrated.” The other phrase is not found on those pages.

Third, yes, here is Watkins:
“These fat-free liquid extracts are economical to use as they are concentrated…”
http://www.associatemelody.com/watkins-products/extracts-fla...

Even if I were to accept that economical to use is the same as ergiebig in this context, “hoch” would be missing from the translation. Now, “highly concentrated” is two words at a total of 19 characters, including the space. The phrase “economical to use” is three words, has as many as 17 characters and you need to add a fourth word and definitely more than 2 characters. I don’t like wasting space and ink.

By the way, Watkins says “extra rich”: https://www.amazon.com/Watkins-Original-Gourmet-Vanilla-Pack...

neutral writeaway : the term actually asked in hoch ergiebig. Imo this is drawing conclusions (aka over-translating). It probably is 'hoch ergiebig' because it's highly concentrated

I don't agree that this is overtranslation (and I'm one of the first to point that out, usually); in fact, show me the bottle that says "economical to use." I'll add a note later.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "first thanks to all who replied and the thorough research you provided me with. I really appreciate it. Both suggestions are correct technically, I think, but as some of you pointed out, I haven´t seen "economical to use" on a label. Highly concentrated seems to fit the context best.THANKS ONCE MORE "
