The label is usually a part of the stamp cardboard or paper underneath straps or foil. In standard spruce plywood pallets it may also be printed directly on the side of the pallet.
UPM's plywood panels are tightly packed in pallets which should stay intact to the final destination where the pallet should only be opened. During transportation and in warehouses the pallets need to be recognized and all the necessary information about the content must be easily available. Pallet label is the key to the pallet contents.
