International Safe Handling Labels

International safe handling labels use standardized icons to communicate handling instructions across languages. They suit shipments that pass through multiple countries, carriers, and handling crews, giving every handler along the route the same instructions. A single label can carry several icons at once for packages with more than one handling requirement, such as orientation and fragile contents. The icons stay readable at a glance.

International safe handling labels use standardized icons to communicate how a package should be treated on shipments that cross borders and pass through multiple carriers.

• Icon-based instructions: Standardized icons communicate fragile, perishable, and sensitive handling needs across languages.

• Multiple icons per label: One label can carry several icons for packages with more than one requirement.

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

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

• Sizes, colors, and bold designs: Multiple options keep the instructions visible on global shipments.
