Orm D Labels can be used on ammunition to help provide important information about the product for those who are handling, shipping, and selling it. With the correct labeling, customers, transportation companies, and the U.S. government can better ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Here, we’ll provide an overview of what Orm-D Labels are, how they are used, and some helpful tips for printing them.
Understanding the Impact of Orm-D Labels
An Orm-D Label is used to identify a package or product as limited quantity, non-hazardous (or oxidizers). This designation is made when a product contains a hazardous material (Class 3), but it also meets specific standards as a “limited quantity.” Businesses can ship these items without needing a hazmat endorsement and still comply with U.S. Department of Transportation rules.
UPS ORM-D Labels
UPS ORM-D Labels are a specific type of Orm-D Label that is used on packages shipped with UPS. When an item meets the ORM-D criteria, a shipper must mark the package with a specially designated ORM-D Label. This label informs handlers of the need to take extra precautions due to the presence of a hazardous material.
Printing ORM-D Labels
ORM-D Labels should be printed on self-adhesive paper. These labels should be brightly colored and should contain the applicable transport descriptions, hazard classes, and proper shipping names. Once printed, the labels should easily and clearly express the hazardous nature of the items contained in the package.
Printable Hazmat Ammunition Shipping Labels
In addition to ORM-D Labels, hazmat ammunition shipping labels can be purchased and printed. These labels must meet the requirements established by the US Department of Transportation, including easily understood descriptions, hazard classes, and proper shipping names. Ammunition may also require additional labels for tracking, such as an ORM-D Label.
UPS ORM-D Labels Printable
UPS ORM-D Labels are available in printable format and can be downloaded from the UPS website. These labels contain the ORM-D designations and descriptions, as well as information about transporting hazardous materials. These labels should be applied to packages or containers that cannot be easily identified as containing hazardous material.
