Packaging

Most of the countries are very strict about the type of packaging material and cargo labelling used for imported goods. Before shipping the goods to such countries you need to meet the country-specific compliance especially if you are using wooden packaging. If you are new to the international market please feel free to ask us about the type of packaging required for your export goods.

Once a supplier has chosen the key markets into which it will sell products, a determination must be made if any marking and language requirements are needed on the packaging.  Rules for the type of packaging material depends on country-specific requirements.  The choice of languages is typically one of the most important decisions that must be made.  Some countries have specific regulations that govern which languages are used on the packaging, what types of information must be communicated, and even the font size in which the official languages must be presented.

When choosing to enter the international market, it is important to determine what type of labelling, marking and packaging is mandatory versus voluntary. It is also important to understand the difference between a mark and a label.

• Mark– a symbol and/or pictogram that appears on a product or its respective packaging. Typically used to communicate information concerning safety, health, energy efficiency and/or environmental issues relating to a product.
• Label– appear in the form of written text or numerical statements, which may be required but are not necessarily universally recognizable. Labels typically indicate more specific information about a product, such as measurements or an indication of materials that may be found in the product.
