Wholesale Special Handling Shipping Labels

Choose “Caution—Heavy” or “Heavy End” to identify a manual-handling concern, and “Sharp Objects Inside” when opening or handling requires additional care. “Partial Case,” “Repack” and “Additional Parts Inside” support inventory accuracy. Routing labels such as “Customer Pick Up,” “Expedite,” “Export” and “International” help separate orders within an established process.

When the primary concern is inspection, opening or receiving documentation, compare receiving stickers. Avoid stacking several vague messages on one surface; prioritize the instruction that changes what the next person should do.

Define who applies each label, at what stage and what downstream action it triggers. Blank fields such as “Skid __ of __” or “Attention ___” should be completed legibly before the unit leaves the station. Color can support sorting, but the printed message should remain the controlling information.

A “Heavy,” “Export,” “International,” “C.O.D.” or “Expedite” label does not establish weight limits, customs status, payment terms, service level or regulatory compliance. Keep required documents, carrier services, equipment and employee training in place; use the label as visible reinforcement.
