Do Not Stack Labels
Do Not Stack Labels FAQs
What are do not stack labels used for?
They are used to warn handlers that packages should not have additional weight placed on top of them, helping prevent damage to fragile or unstable shipments.
Are these labels required for shipping fragile items?
While not legally required, they are strongly recommended for items that could be damaged by stacking, especially when weight restrictions are critical.
Will the labels stick to shrink-wrapped pallets?
Yes. Most do not stack labels are designed with strong adhesives that bond well to shrink wrap, cardboard, and common packaging surfaces.
What size labels work best for large shipments?
Larger labels with bold pictograms are ideal for pallets and oversized crates because they are more visible to warehouse staff and freight carriers.
Do these labels help reduce transit damage?
Absolutely. Clearly communicating that items cannot be stacked helps prevent crushing, shifting, or collapsing during storage or transport.
Should I place multiple labels on a large pallet?
Yes. For best visibility, labels should be placed on multiple sides of the pallet so that handlers can clearly see the warning regardless of orientation.
