Marking

Marking is usually made on packing. It must include the name and address of the Buyer, the Seller and the manufacturer of the goods, numbers of standards or technical documentation, numbers of roads, kinds of transport and some other details concerning this particular consignment of goods: weight, quantity and others. There are also various kinds of marking for goods that need careful handling, for example, WITH CARE, TOP, DO NOT TURN OVER, USE NO HOOKS and so on. There may be also pictures in marking. Some of them require careful handling too: "fragile", "avoid heat", "open here", etc.

There is also marking that states that the products or their packing are ecologically pure and don't make harm to environment: "green point", "produced of used materials", "this marking says for itself'', etc. Marking should warn of poisoned and harmful materials contained in packing.

If goods are transported by sea, their packing must be seaworthy and marking should be made with indelible paint.

It is also very important that marking should be made right. Wrong marking can lead to many unpleasant problems. Usually all these characteristics are stipulated in standards.
