Published Sept 2005 | Updated May 2006 | Updated May 2007

The Guidelines for Shipping Container Labeling have been developed and revised through the work of the Distribution Executives Interest Group (DEIG). The goal of these guidelines is to recommend standards for the book industry that will simplify capturing data at all stages of shipping, warehousing and receiving between publishers, distributors and booksellers and align the book industry with global trade generally.
