There are two types of markings

-Packaging design/specification markings
  • These markings are normally applied by the manufacturer, but are still ultimately the responsibility of the shipper. They identify the design or specification of a packaging, irrespective of contents, consignor, consignee, etc.
-Package use markings
  • Markings, which identify the use of a particular packaging for a particular shipment, i.e., indication of contents, consignor, consignee, etc. The addition of these markings is solely the responsibility of the shipper.
General

  • All markings must be readily visible and not obscured by any part of or attachment to the packaging or any other label or marking.
Quality

All markings must be

  • Durable and printed or otherwise marked on, or affixed to, the external surface of the package or overpack;
  • Readily visible and legible;
  • Able to withstand open weather exposure without a substantial reduction in effectiveness; and
  • Displayed on a background of contrasting colour.
