MORE INFORMATION

Handling & Shipping marks help to ensure that greater care is taken with cargo handling and it must be possible to tell whether the package is sensitive to heat or moisture, whether it is at risk of breakage, where the top and bottom are, where the centre of gravity is located and where loading tackle may be slung.

Marking must be clear and precise. Its colour should stand out clearly from that of the package and care must be taken to ensure that marking is applied in a legible and durable manner.

Keep in mind that your labels and marks:

  • Must be durable, in English, and printed on, or affixed to, the surface of a package or on a label or tag.
  • Must be displayed on a background of sharply contrasting colour.
  • Must be unobscured by other labels or attachments.
  • Must be located away from any other marking (such as advertising) that could substantially reduce its effectiveness.

Our label range is fully compliant with national and international legislation (ADR, RID, IATA, IMDG).
