The Marking Challenge

Constantly moving, constantly handled

The portable container industry faces distinct challenges related to visibility, tracking, and regulatory compliance. With containers constantly on the move — whether they’re being shipped, stored, or transported — having clear, durable markings is essential for efficient logistics and asset management.

  • 1
    Mix-ups. Containers need to be easily identifiable to prevent mix-ups, ensure proper handling, and facilitate smooth inventory tracking.
  • 2
    Regulatory marking. DOT and OSHA require that certain hazardous materials and load capacities be clearly marked to protect workers and comply with safety protocols.
  • 3
    Label failure. Traditional stickers, decals, or painted labels often fade, peel, or become illegible over time, leading to delays, safety risks, and regulatory fines.

HDPE

Flexes and returns to shape. For markings that take repeated knocks.
