The standard provides comprehensive guidance for vendors on how to properly label and mark unit packs, intermediate containers, and exterior shipping containers, with specific requirements for identification markings. Key requirements include marking containers with NSN/NATO stock numbers, CAGE codes, part numbers, item descriptions, quantities, contract/purchase order numbers, military preservation methods, shelf life, and serial numbers.

It provides detailed instructions for both domestic and export shipments, including special considerations for hazardous materials. The standard applies to shipments for military, civilian, and export activities, with variations in labeling requirements depending on the type of shipment and destination. Critical elements include using specific bar code configurations, placing identification markings in conspicuous locations, and ensuring all required information is clearly displayed on shipping labels.
