When you send a package the last thing you want to worry about is the risk of it not reaching its destination in the exact condition in which you sent it. Whether you are sending a package to a customer, friend or family member, it's important that it isn't damaged in transit - this can be costly and inconvenient for yourself and the recipient. That's why our packaging signs make all the difference when sending your products!

Types of Packaging Signs
All of our packaging signs comply with the internationally-recognised symbols outlined in ISO 780, so wherever you are sending your mail, it should be taken care of every step of the way. You want to know that your package will not only reach the destination but that it will also be handled with the appropriate care it requires.
We supply a range of packaging signs that ensure that whatever your package is, the way it must be handled can be clearly identified. To view our full range of packaging signs, click here.

Our packaging tapes make easy work of displaying how your packaging is to be handled.

Today marks exactly one month to go until Christmas Day (along with Black Friday), which means that business is getting busier by the day for retailers and shipping companies. It's likely that the next month will involve a huge influx of orders that exceed usual demands, which means that stocking up on all necessary shipping supplies is absolutely vital!
Packaging labels are one of the most important aspects of your shipping strategy, especially during the period between packing and delivery. In order to earn the trust of retail clients and customers, companies must ensure that all orders are handled correctly, and arrive in the expected condition. To do this efficiently, clear and durable packaging labels must be used, in order to point out instructions for how packages should be treated, and when they should be sent.
Here are just a few of the packaging labels we supply here at Label Source:
Shipping Transit Labels
These red labels provide clear, recognised instructions for handling and storing packages, to help ensure that the contents of your orders are never damaged or compromised.
Dispatch Labels
These labels provide highly visible notices for packages and pallets, which highlight the contents of the package, along with details of its position in the shipping process.
Heavy Duty Packaging Labels
These labels are a great choice for more demanding environments, providing additional protection from chemicals, abrasions and the elements.

Since its introduction in 1997, the ISO 780 standard (and the subsequent updates) has established a range of graphic symbols for use on packages within handling and storage. These symbols were introduced so that language barriers causing any damage or loss through mishandling could be overcome.
Within our product ranges we have several options for labels, to be attached to packages, and for stencils to directly mark packages. The labels are available in a variety of sizes, produced in a selection of materials, some are for indoor use, whilst others are for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The graphic symbols include: fragile; this way up; keep dry; use no hooks; sling here; the centre of gravity; top heavy; do not roll; keep away from cold; keep away from sunlight; temperature limits; do not stack; stacking limitations; no hand carts; no fork lifts; protect from radiation; clamp here; use handling aids; electrostatic charges; do not drop; do not damage package barrier; do not freeze; keep frozen; keep refrigerated; and perishable.
Use of these highly visible markers or stencil systems can provide clear guidance to handlers of packages, to prevent loss, damage, custom fines or injury to handlers caused by inadequate identification marking.
Our ranges include;
Shipping transit labels; Packaging labels; Heavy duty packaging labels; Packaging handling labels; Dispatch labels; Packaging tapes; and Packing and shipping stencils.
Christmas is know to be the busiest time of the year for traders, with everyone ordering presents and festive accessories for their homes. It can be a chance to inspire real loyalty in your customers, by providing a reliable service during a time of year when everyone is a little more stressed and eager for things to arrive. On the other side of the coin, it can also be an extremely risky time for retailers, who have to deal with a heightened volume of orders, making the process more time-consuming and problematic to deal with.
To ensure that your shipping process is as efficient and error-free as it should be this Christmas, it's important that you stock up on the right set of packaging labels, in order to maximize your chances of delivering the best possible service to your customers. Here at Label Source, we have a variety of packaging materials to aid the process, allowing you to advise the correct delivery instructions for the products in a clear and concise way.

With Christmas practically a fortnight away, your business may well be in the middle of a very busy period right now. It's not uncommon for sales to triple or even quadruple during the holiday season, and if you're posting items to your customers, this means that you'll be sending a lot of packages!
The chaos of the Christmas rush may leave you wishing for a way to speed up your shipping process, but it's crucial to get your packaging right at this time of year. It may be a chore, but each and every one of your customers is expecting a top-quality service, and if your products are being purchased as gifts for somebody else, it's even more important than usual to make sure that everything arrives in one piece.
So keep your packaging standards high, and don't forget the packaging labels!
These sturdy, self-adhesive labels are ideal for marking the packages that you send this December. If you are dispatching a fragile item or anything with specific handling requirements, it is imperative that you affix an appropriate label to the item's packaging. For example, if you sell items that are made of glass (or contain glass elements), you might consider using this label when you send them:
Another example: if you are sending a group of items, and you want to ensure that they are not separated, use this label to tell the courier how many packages are in the set:
