Quality, marking and packaging notes

6 copy-ready notes for quality, marking and packaging, in English and Spanish. Copy a note, replace the [bracketed] example values, and check the "Watch for" line before you release the drawing.

Values in [brackets] are examples; replace them with your own. Notes marked Verify values rely on common practice; confirm them with your supplier or design engineer. These notes are examples, not an engineering approval of your drawing.
