12 Crate & Carton Label Sample WOW requirement is labels into both short ends of the crate, (3 prongs). However where this is not practical use one label on the exposed short end. Do not stick labels to crates use crate prongs only to attach! Do not use any equipment that damages or breaks prongs when inserting labels. Paper quality must be thick enough so the label does not curl excessively or slip from prongs. You may also use cardboard tags as an alternative solution. All of the requirements for the crate label are to be used for all products in cartons as well. 12
