Mil Std 29 P (Mil Std 29P)

5.1.2 Labels, paper, pressure-sensitive, water-resistant. Labels shall be of a water-resistant grade of paper, film, fabric, or plastic, coated on one side with water-insoluble, permanent type adhesive. The adhesive shall adhere to metal, plastic, or fiberboard surfaces under high and low temperatures. Labels shall have a finish suitable for printing and writing on with ink without feathering or spreading, be capable of withstanding normal handling and storage conditions, and remain securely in position. Application specific performance criteria and durability requirements to ensure functionality in various climatic environments should be tailored, if required, using MIL-PRF-61002. MIL-PRF-61002 can be used as an acquisition tool when labels presently being used are not performing satisfactorily or when new conditions or applications require special label stock for those particular situations. Identification bar code labels on exterior containers shall meet the requirements of paragraph 4.4.1.10.

4.4.1.10 Identification labels on exterior shipping containers. When bar code labels are printed, the printer ribbons shall be of OCR-grade quality, or equivalent, and shall produce clear, smear-resistant markings. When bar code labels are used on exterior shipping containers, a waterproof, untinted/transparent, plastic, protective laminate such as ASTM D 5486, type I, class 2 tape, or equivalent protection, shall be applied to or shall be inherent to the label.
