Such guaranty shall be either (a) a separate guaranty specifically designating the product, fabric or related material guaranteed, in which case it may be on the invoice or other paper relating to such product, fabric or related material; or (b) a continuing guaranty filed with the department or with the federal trade commission applicable to any product, fabric or related material handled by a guarantor, in such form as the department or the federal trade commission by rules or regulations may prescribe; or (c) a continuing guaranty given by seller to buyer applicable to any product, fabric or related material sold or to be sold to buyer by seller in a form as the department or the federal trade commission by rules or regulations may prescribe.
