"Hello Mark" on containers

[Anvalo]

Hi,

Recently i was looking for some info about the diamond shaped marking on Japanese containers.

Only thing i could find was this : https://rail.hobidas.com/feature/463801/

The mark translates as "Hello Mark", is this the correct name?

Already found out the meaning of the H, L, W and G letters.

Hight

Length

Width

G = weight, anyone knows what the G stands for?

I suppose it's not "Grams"🙂.

 

Thanks,

André

I am not familiar with these Markings, but could it be G_ross weight ?

G maybe Gross as in "Gross Weight".

Thanks for the links, very interesting.

Now i have some light reading to do this weekend😀.

 

I think that Wolf and bill937ca are on the right track, the "G" as in Gross Weight is very plausible.

 

Thanks guys👍.
