Since its introduction in 1997, the ISO 780 standard (and the subsequent updates) has established a range of graphic symbols for use on packages within handling and storage. These symbols were introduced so that language barriers causing any damage or loss through mishandling could be overcome.
Within our product ranges we have several options for labels, to be attached to packages, and for stencils to directly mark packages. The labels are available in a variety of sizes, produced in a selection of materials, some are for indoor use, whilst others are for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The graphic symbols include: fragile; this way up; keep dry; use no hooks; sling here; the centre of gravity; top heavy; do not roll; keep away from cold; keep away from sunlight; temperature limits; do not stack; stacking limitations; no hand carts; no fork lifts; protect from radiation; clamp here; use handling aids; electrostatic charges; do not drop; do not damage package barrier; do not freeze; keep frozen; keep refrigerated; and perishable.
Use of these highly visible markers or stencil systems can provide clear guidance to handlers of packages, to prevent loss, damage, custom fines or injury to handlers caused by inadequate identification marking.
Our ranges include;
Shipping transit labels; Packaging labels; Heavy duty packaging labels; Packaging handling labels; Dispatch labels; Packaging tapes; and Packing and shipping stencils.
