Beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. That surely is the case for product labeling and packaging, which comes in all shapes and sizes to help products get noticed and stand apart from competitors. But what do you do when all the "packages" look the same, as is the case with pressure-treated lumber? You make the label your broad canvas and take full advantage of a very small footprint, one measuring just % in. tall ×2 in. wide. Every piece of pressure-treated lumber, whatever the size, requires a label. Actually, the industry refers to them as "end tags" because that's where they are applied-to the end of the board. Heading down the highway, you may have seen truckloads of pressure-treated boards at some point. Too small to read as they pass by, the tags look functional at best. Held firmly in place with a staple, they are able to withstand 70-plus MPH gusts and all sorts of weather conditions. Though the tags are unreadable, you may have noticed they have different colors from one bundle to the next. It's hard to miss that, even at 70-plus MPH with a turbulent wake of mist.
