Warning and Fragile Labels
Warning and fragile labels are types of labels that are used to communicate important information about a package or shipment. Here is a brief overview of each type of label:
Warning labels: Warning labels are used to communicate important safety information about the contents of a package or shipment. These labels may include warnings about hazardous materials, electrical shock hazards, or other dangers associated with the contents of the package. Warning labels are often bright and highly visible, with bold lettering and a distinctive design to draw attention to the warning.
Fragile labels: Fragile labels are used to indicate that the contents of a package are delicate or easily damaged. These labels may include the word “fragile” in bold lettering, along with pictograms or other symbols to indicate that the contents of the package should be handled with care. Fragile labels are often used on packages containing glassware, electronics, or other fragile items.

What information is required on a Warning and Fragile Label?
Warning labels:
- A clear warning statement that describes the hazard associated with the contents of the package (e.g. “Caution: Contains Hazardous Materials”)
- Pictograms or symbols that provide additional information about the hazard (e.g. skull and crossbones for toxic substances)
- Information about the nature of the hazard (e.g. “Corrosive” or “Flammable”)
- Instructions for safe handling and storage of the contents of the package
- Information about the manufacturer or distributor of the product
Fragile labels:
- The word “Fragile” in bold, clear lettering
- Pictograms or symbols that indicate that the contents of the package are delicate or easily damaged
- Instructions for handling the package with care (e.g. “Handle with Care” or “This End Up”)
- Information about the manufacturer or distributor of the product
In general, warning labels and fragile labels should be clear, concise, and easy to understand. The information on these labels should be visible and legible, even from a distance, to ensure that the package is handled safely and with care.

Labelling Materials for Warning and Fragile Products
The label materials used for warning and fragile labels depend on the specific application and the conditions in which the labels will be used. Here are some common label materials that are often used for warning and fragile labels:
Waterproof labels are labels that are designed to withstand exposure to water and other liquids without deteriorating or smudging. They are commonly used in situations where the label needs to remain legible, making them a perfect choice for warning and fragile labels where the information must be easy to read.
We also offer high-tack adhesive paper labels. Their extra sticky adhesive will ensure your label will stay stuck safely under dry conditions. If you wanted something a little more resilient, then high-tack could do the trick.
Matt White Paper labels are a versatile and cost-effective labeling solution for businesses and individuals looking to label products, packages, and other items with a clean, professional appearance. If you just wanted to clearly depict information on your warning and fragile products with no special label finish, these will be best suited.
Another paper label we supply is freezer labels. If you had a warning label that had to be kept under freezing conditions, these labels are able to go down to temperatures of -40 degrees. We supply these labels in all of our regular stocked sizes too.
How to Order
We have our suggested stocked waterproof products, however, if you would prefer something different read through our Label Materials and Made-To-Order section. Once ordered you can use our free templates (if you struggle with templates visit our YouTube channel for tutorials, alternatively we have a Lay-Out Service).
We also offer printing solutions whether you would like these on sheets, or rolls for larger quantities with extra finishing options.
