Packaging & Labeling

Understand the latest global automotive industry advances for packaging pallets, containers, and parts with identification guidelines and tracking labels.

Reduce Complexity and Improve Results


AIAG pioneered many of the concepts and methods at work in packaging and labeling systems today — from the data identifiers and alphanumeric strings that are now the accepted benchmark for aerospace and the U.S. Department of Defense to the North American automotive standard for maximizing physical container cubes across modes of transportation. 

As industry accelerates its transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and embraces advanced automation, the need for these standardized packaging and labeling solutions has never been greater. AIAG’s guidelines and best practices help companies enhance supply chain visibility, improve traceability, and adapt to emerging regulatory requirements, making it easier to navigate the complexities of modern automotive manufacturing and distribution.
