In what area should stowage designators be placed on embarkation boxes?

Stowage designators on embarkation boxes are placed in the upper left-hand corner of the top to ensure that they are easily visible and accessible for identification during loading and unloading operations. This position allows for quick identification when the boxes are stacked or stored, facilitating efficient sorting and minimizing the risk of misplacement.

Placing the designators in this location also aligns with standard practices in logistical operations, wherein consistency in labeling helps streamline the ambulation of supplies. Visibility from the top corner is crucial since it is typically the part of the box that will be most readily accessible during loading, ensuring that the necessary cargo can be quickly located and that overall operational efficiency is maintained throughout the embarkation process.
