Shipping Marks

Shipping Marks are markings on export transport packaging used to identify goods and prevent misdelivery or shipment errors. They typically consist of the consignee code, reference number, destination, and package number. Application scenarios include sea freight, air freight, land transport, and multimodal transport, and they are especially common in container shipping and LCL consolidated cargo. Precautions: Shipping marks must be clear, durable, and uniformly positioned, and their content must be consistent with documents such as the bill of lading and packing list; in the case of neutral packaging or designated shipping marks, customer requirements must be strictly followed to avoid disclosing commercial information. The difference from "Side Marks" is that shipping marks usually refer to the main mark (front mark), which indicates core information, while side marks supplement dimensions, weight, place of origin, etc. Unlike "Label," shipping marks are transport identifiers directly stenciled or affixed to packaging and do not involve product ingredients or instructions for use. Correct use of shipping marks can improve logistics efficiency and reduce cargo damage and discrepancies.
