The shipping label on the TTC™ contains important information about each shipment. Below is an annotated example of a commercial TTC label. Note that labels for project shipments from customer Colony Management projects look somewhat different, and those shipments include a packing list which complements the TTC label:

1 Customer name and delivery address for shipment
2 Free text for delivery instructions supplied by customer
3 Sales Order number
4 Box ID, a unique locator for each TTC shipped. Use Box ID when reporting issues with a particular TTC.
5 Total quantity of animals in TTC™
6 Total # of boxes in the shipment. Orders which source from more than one production barrier or site will have separate sets of labels and box counts.
