Shipping pack fragility symbols

[ckoz]

Would any of you know if there is a specification governing the geometry of fragility symbols found on corrugated shipping packs, such as the "no hooks", "umbrella" "broken glass", etc. Additionally, would you know of a library of these symbols to pull from for Pro/E Wildfire? Thanks

Try these ISO standards that cover packaging:

Don't count on the shippers to pay attention to the symbols. If you are shipping via major shipping company, they all use the same type of system of fast tracks (conveyers) and buckets used to transport the packages. If you really have one-of-a-kind products to ship, it is in your best interest to pack or crate it appropriately.
