Cardboard boxes are widely used packaging products, which come in various types depending on the materials used, such as corrugated boxes and single-layer cardboard boxes, with a range of sizes and models. In our daily lives, we often see various symbols on cardboard boxes. Do you know the meanings of these common symbols? Below, the editor will take you through a detailed explanation.

The symbols on the cardboard boxes are primarily divided into two categories: identification symbols and directional symbols.

1. Identification Symbol

(1) Trade Mark: It is a specific symbol for this batch of goods or a code representing the exporting company or foreign firm. Simplified graphics like triangles, diamonds, quadrilaterals, and circles are commonly used on the cardboard boxes, accompanied by substitute shorthand characters.

(2) Destination Mark: A marking indicating the destination name for the shipment. The full name of the place should be written in text on the cardboard box. Typically, this marking is located in the upper right corner to indicate the collection location.

(3) Product Name and Quantity Marking: Typically, symbols and text are used to indicate product identification and the quantity of items inside the box. Measurement methods include boxes, pieces, sticks, pairs, sets, and dozens. Generally, both Chinese and English are used for the labels.

(4) Volume and Weight Markings: The carton will be labeled with the actual external dimensions and weight for the carrier department to refer to when selecting the mode of transport and the stacking method for the goods.

2. Directional Signage

Based on the characteristics of the products, requirements and precautions for handling, loading, unloading, and storage of goods that are prone to breakage, damage, and spoilage, such as "handle up," "moisture-proof," "handle with care," "heat-proof," "frost-proof," and "stacking height."
