What this mark means
Other Plastics 7 identifies other plastic resins and combinations outside codes 1–6 in a material coding system. Typical applications include plastic articles requiring a more specific material description. Confirm the material of the specific component with the supplier; identify multi-component packs separately. Legacy chasing-arrow versions and solid-triangle resin codes both appear on products; check the required artwork convention for the destination market.
