Arrow Shipping Labels

Arrow shipping labels mark which way a package needs to stay oriented during handling and transit. They are commonly placed on cartons holding liquids, glass, or equipment that must stay upright, and the this-side-up direction is clear to anyone loading, stacking, or unloading. Applying an arrow to more than one side of a box keeps the correct orientation visible from every angle on a pallet or inside a truck. Arrow labels also work on crates.

Arrow shipping labels show the upright position of a carton, which helps protect liquids, glass, and other contents that must stay level during handling and transit.

• Clear orientation marking: Directional arrows show handlers which way is up on cartons, crates, and pallets.

• Visible designs: Bold colors and designs keep the arrow easy to see in busy docks and trucks.

• Printer compatibility: Labels are compatible with laser, inkjet, and thermal printers.

• Secure adhesion: The adhesive holds to cartons, envelopes, and pallets.

• Multiple sizes: Sizes fit everything from small cartons to full pallets.

Q: Should arrow labels go on more than one side of a box?

A: Yes. Applying arrow labels to at least two adjacent sides keeps the orientation visible however the package is turned or stacked.

Q: What contents benefit most from arrow labels?

A: Liquids, glass, electronics, and equipment that must stay upright benefit most, since tipping can cause leaks or damage.

Q: Can arrow labels go on strapped packages?

A: Yes. Arrow labels can go on cartons that are strapped or banded for shipping, as long as they sit where the strap will not cover them.
