Fragile Sticker

Glassware, ceramics, electronics and precision instruments are most at risk not on the shelf but in transit — at sortation, stacking and unloading, one careless drop can crack a product that shipped out intact. When a carton gives no sign that its contents can break, the damage arrives with it, and the reprints, returns, claims and lost goodwill cost far more than a warning label ever would.

We supply pre-printed fragile warning stickers built for that moment: an internationally recognised broken-glass symbol with FRAGILE and Handle with Care wording that needs no translation, weatherproof materials that stay legible through long-distance and sea-freight transport, and a strong adhesive that holds on corrugated cartons, wooden crates and plastic packaging from dispatch to final delivery.

Where Fragile Warning Stickers Are Used

Fragile warning stickers go on the outer packaging of anything that must not be handled roughly:

• Glassware, ceramics and homeware — glass cups and bottles, ceramic tableware, crafts, lighting fixtures and picture frames in protective cartons.
• Electronics and precision instruments — LCD monitors, televisions, computer screens and measuring instruments labelled on the outer carton.
• Building and sanitary ware — tiles, architectural glass and bathroom fittings in boxed and palletised shipment.
• E-commerce and individual courier parcels — fragile items sold on marketplaces and valuable breakables sent by individuals.
• Industrial and laboratory goods — optical lenses, precision sensors and laboratory equipment packed for transport.

Key Features

Markings that are read before the carton is lifted

The pre-printed broken-glass symbol and bilingual FRAGILE / Handle with Care wording, set in high-contrast colour blocks such as red/white or black/yellow, are recognised at a glance even in busy depots and dim loading bays, with no translation needed. Handlers see the warning before they grip the carton and handle it more gently, which reduces transport damage and gives you a clear record that handling instructions were provided if a claim does arise.

Legible after rain, humidity and long hauls

Labels are printed on laminated coated paper or durable synthetic paper and receive a glossy or matte film coating, so the face resists water and abrasion while the base resists tearing. The marking stays clear and intact through sortation, cross-border and sea-freight legs, so the warning keeps working at every handover.

Adhesion that survives stacking and transit

A strong permanent acrylic adhesive bonds the label to corrugated cardboard, wooden crates, plastic and film packaging and stays flat without edge peeling as cartons are stacked and moved. A label that stays put and whole is a label that cannot be missed, from the first forklift to the last mile.

Your brand and your warning in one run

Beyond the standard design, logos, specific text, dimensions, shapes and personalised artwork are printed in the same pre-print run. One label carries both the safety message and your brand, in the exact size that fits your carton.

How to Select and Order

• Choose the material by route — laminated coated paper is the economical choice for domestic courier parcels; synthetic paper resists moisture better for long-distance, cross-border and sea-freight shipments.
• Match size and shape to the visible face of your carton — standard 90 × 50 mm and 100 × 60 mm, or custom; the warning works best where a handler sees it before lifting.
• Send us what you ship, in what packaging, and the estimated volume; we will recommend material, size and finish and confirm the specification before you order.

MOQ, lead time and freight depend on material, size and quantity — send your spec and volume and we will quote.

FAQ

• Can we add our logo or other text? Yes. Custom logos, specific wording, sizes, shapes and personalised designs are all available; tell us your needs when you order.
• Which material suits international shipping? Laminated coated paper is the economical choice for courier parcels; synthetic paper resists moisture and weather better for long-distance and sea-freight routes.
