Wholesale Special Handling Fragile Labels

Use a general fragile label when careful handling is the primary instruction. Select “Delicate Instruments” or “Electronic Equipment” when the content type helps teams recognize the risk. “Do Not Puncture,” “Do Not Stack” and “This Side Up” communicate distinct actions and should be used only when those conditions apply to the packed item.

For glass or liquid-container messages in additional wording and sizes, review glass shipping labels. Avoid using a high-claim or value message unless it is part of the approved carrier and claims workflow.

Select a label large enough to read without interfering with the address, barcode, closure or required marks. Apply it smoothly to a clean, dry panel and use more than one side when the carton may be approached from different directions. Keep orientation arrows pointed toward the true top.

A fragile label does not compensate for excessive empty space, insufficient cushioning, weak cartons or inadequate closure. Package for the product’s weight, geometry and distribution hazards, then use the label to reinforce handling instructions. It cannot prevent impact or guarantee a successful damage claim.
