Military Contract Labeling Exterior

Exterior Bar Code markings.

Bar Code markings are required on all containers and loose or unpacked items. The

national stock number (NSN)/NATO stock number shall be bar coded on all unit packs

and intermediate containers. The exterior container shall be bar coded with the NSN/NATO stock number and the contract number or purchase order number (including the call number)

applied. Bar code symbols on exterior containers shall be located adjacent to the identification or contract data markings (either to the right of or directly below). For boxes and crates

10 cubic feet and over, bar code markings are required on one end of the container as well

as the identification marked side. Bar coded serial numbers, when required, shall be placed

directly below item identification or contract data markings on all containers.
