In this article, you will learn why marking spray is so important, what applications there are and what advantages the different colours such as red and black offer.

What is marking spray?

Marking spray is a special colour spray that is used to mark packaging and goods. The special thing about marking spray is its high colour intensity and good adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, such as wood, metal or plastic. The sprays are always used when goods need to be visibly marked during transport or when important information such as handling instructions or warnings need to be applied.
The colours red and black are two of the most popular variants, which are selected depending on the area of application and importance. While red marking spray is often used for warnings, black marking spray is particularly suitable for general markings.

Applications of marking spray in export packagingIn

the field of export packaging, marking spray plays a central role, especially when it comes to labelling shipping crates, pallets and container loads. These markings serve to simplify the shipping process and ensure that the goods are correctly identified and handled. For international shipments in particular, it is important that information is applied clearly and in clearly visible colours.

Among other things, marking spray is used for:

  1. Transport and handling instructions: For example, labelling with "Caution fragile" or "Do not stack".
  2. Identification numbers and tracking labels: Clear, durable labelling makes it easier to allocate goods during storage and retrieval.
  3. Security labelling: Using red marking spray can help to draw attention to particular risks or important safety information.

Important properties of marking spray

The quality of the marking spray is crucial for its possible applications. The following properties are particularly important in the field of export packaging, where the spray may be exposed to extreme weather conditions such as moisture, heat or cold:

  • High coverage: The spray must cover well on different surfaces, even on dark surfaces.
  • Weather resistance: A weather-resistant paint is particularly important for export, where goods are exposed to long outdoor distances.
  • Short drying time: Fast drying ensures that the work process remains efficient.
  • High adhesion to different materials: Whether wood, metal or plastic - marking spray should always adhere well to the different materials.

Choosing the right colour: marking spray in red, black and other colours

The colour of the marking spray plays an important role and should be chosen carefully depending on the intended use and desired effect.

Marking spray redRed

marking spray is mainly used when it is necessary to apply warning notices or special markings in a clearly visible manner. The signal effect of the colour red ensures that notices are particularly eye-catching. This is the case, for example, with:

  • Warning notices: "Caution - Danger" or "Do not stack".
  • Directional information: So that certain positions, such as the correct centre of gravity of a crate, are clearly visible.

Black marking spray

Black marking spray, on the other hand, is used for more general markings that do not indicate danger, but rather serve for general identification. It is particularly suitable for:

  • Standard labelling: Such as product numbers, serial numbers or other identifications.
  • Neutral markings: It can also be used to cover or obscure information when a conspicuous warning effect is not required.
Other common marking spray colours include blue, yellow and orange.

Tips for using marking sprayIn order for

the marking spray to be fully effective, it is important that it is applied correctly. Here are some helpful tips:

  • Surface preparation: Make sure that the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or oil. This allows the spray to adhere optimally.
  • Correct distance: When spraying, keep a distance of 20 to 30 cm from the surface to achieve even coverage and avoid dripping.
  • Several coats: Depending on the material and substrate, it may be advisable to apply two thin coats instead of one thick one. This ensures better durability and coverage.

Alternatives and additions to marking spray

In addition to marking spray, there are other options for labelling export packaging. These include, for example, marking chalks, which are particularly suitable for temporary use, as well as stencils, which can be used to apply certain characters and symbols repeatedly and reproducibly. Labels are also a possible alternative, but have the disadvantage that they can come off when exposed to moisture, whereas marking spray adheres in the long term.
