Keep Away From Heat Labels | ISO 780 Handling

Universal ISO 780 "Keep Away From Heat" Shipping Labels

Ensure your temperature-sensitive cargo is handled with maximum care during transit. Our commercial-grade Keep Away From Heat labels use the globally recognized sun-and-roof pictogram. This design complies perfectly with international ISO 780 (Symbol No. 13) packaging standards.

While many logistics coordinators and procurement managers search for these as ADR Heat Labels, this specific symbol is actually a universal packaging handling mark. It is essential for protecting both hazardous materials and everyday commercial goods from high temperatures, direct sunlight, and hot storage areas.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this label strictly for ADR Dangerous Goods?
A: No. Although it is highly recommended for heat-sensitive hazardous materials under ADR regulations, it is an international ISO standard used for any regular commercial cargo that requires protection from heat, such as cosmetics, electronics, or chocolate.

Q: Why are visual ISO shipping signs important post-Brexit?
A: Textless, universally understood symbols remove language barriers. Using recognized ISO 780 standards on your transit packaging reduces handling errors at customs checkpoints, speeds up inspections, and helps protect your business from costly cargo damage claims.
