Nexteer Shipping Label: Size and Material
A label used to identify the contents of the container. Master Label is a label used to identify and summarize the total contents of a multiple pack of a single part number within the same container (i.e. pallet of boxes of same material number.) Mixed Load Label is a label used to identify the contents of a multiple pack of different part numbers (i.e. pallet of boxes of differing material numbers.).
Label medium SHALL be white in color with black printing. The size of the label medium SHALL be determined by a combination of the data requirements, size of the container and the printing technology used.
For most shipping containers, the acceptable label size of 4.0 inches (101.6mm) high by 6.0 inches (152.4mm) wide should handle most conditions. A smaller alternative sized label of 4.0 inches (101.6mm) wide by 2.0 inches (50.8) high SHALL also be used only when the container isn’t large enough to accommodate the larger label.
Your Nexteer Automotive customer plant packaging engineer will help determine which label application is best for them. Adhesive label medium types can be pressure sensitive or dry gummed as long as adherence to the package substrate is assured and application is wrinkle-free until received at final shipping destination.
