Quarantine Labels
Pre-printed QUARANTINE. Orange. 75 x 74.2mm. 1000 labels on the roll. Permanent adhesive, 138gsm paper. Avery code 932621.
The label is pre-printed QUARANTINE. That is what it says, and Avery attaches no definition to the word beyond it.
The colour is there to be seen, and that is all Avery says about it. Their statement about colour on this page is that the labels come in bright fluoro colours for maximum visibility. There is no colour code: no colour stands for urgency, a category, a status or a state. The range itself settles it - fluoro yellow carries eleven different messages, and the Fragile label is sold in yellow and in red with the same text on both. Our own copy had built a system on top of that, and the system was ours.
Avery disagrees with itself on the colour. Their specification field reads Orange and their own description on the same page says bright orange fluoro. We have used the specification value and are telling you about the disagreement rather than quietly picking one. It is flagged for a supplier check.
These four are not a system. Avery sells Accepted, Hold, Quarantine and Rejected as four printed messages. They never cross-reference each other, Avery defines none of the words, and the same boilerplate sentence appears on Urgent and Invoice Enclosed too. They are not even matched as a set - the four come in different sizes and different roll counts. Whatever the word means in your process is what you decide it means.
What Avery says it does. These quick and easy to apply pre-printed 'QUARANTINE' labels identify goods that need special attention for delivery.
Their published feature bullets for this code, in full: Permanent adhesive ensures labels adhere to boxes and parcels, The labels provide a clear visual identifying boxes, parcels or pallets which are to be placed into quarantine and Durable dispenser box which easily dispenses labels.
Avery names no standard and no requirement. Not an Australian Standard, not an ISO number, not a dangerous goods code, not a carrier or courier rule, not a transport regulation, not a quality management standard. What Avery publishes is a printed paper label with a permanent adhesive. If a carrier, an auditor or a regulator requires a particular marking, check that requirement directly rather than assuming this label meets it.
A correction. Our own listing for this code claimed that the colour identifies goods for inspection, that it is used in biosecurity, customs and border inspection and that the goods must not be moved until released. Avery publishes none of it, so it has been removed.
Avery publishes no core size for the roll, no standard and no carrier requirement and no definition of the printed word. Where they are silent, so are we.
It sits in our Avery labels range, alongside our label supplies category, Avery and the rest of the catalogue.
