Crate & Carton Label Sample
• WOW requirement is labels into both short ends of the crate, (3 prongs). However where this is not practical use one label on the exposed short end.
• Do not stick labels to crates use crate prongs only to attach! • Do not use any equipment that damages or breaks prongs when inserting labels. • Paper quality must be thick enough so the label does not curl excessively or slip from prongs. • You may also use cardboard tags as an alternative solution. • All of the requirements for the crate label are to be used for all products in cartons as well.
