A label must show container identity without covering the closure line, seal or cleaning inspection. A one-sided label can disappear from view during transfer.
The sequence to use in the field
Separate permanent identity from the trip label. Trial reading direction at loading, vehicle and receipt points. Verify adhesive compatibility with the surface and cleaning method before use.
One-page field record
- Permanent container number
- Trip label
- Readability from two directions
- Condition after washing
The next step
If labels repeatedly fail in one area, inspect the relationship between surface, washing and placement before choosing a stronger adhesive.
