Hi, Tina,
Our shipping boxes are plain with corporate logos only and all of our product labels are printed separately and affixed to these plain boxes, so I cannot imagine that there are any regulatory requirements for direct printing of regulatory information on the package/box itself.
Hope that helps!

Is anyone aware of any regulation that requires labeling information to be printed directly on the outer cardboard shipping container/box and may not appear anywhere else (e.g. on a label affixed to the box)?
We're considering going with plain boxes (with regulatory-complaint labels affixed) for international shipping and want to confirm that we aren't required to print anything directly on the box to get through customs.
I've checked Tarius for all of the countries and don't see a thing on this topic, so I suspect it's not an issue.
Thanks in advance for any information to the contrary!
