How do I apply the Intermediate Container label?

Mil-Std-129P Change 4, Section 4.3 specifies placement of intermediate container identification markings as follows: 

"Identification markings on unit packs and intermediate containers shall be so located as to allow the markings to be easily read and to ensure that the markings will not be destroyed when the pack or container is opened for inspection or until its contents have been used. The marking surface of a unit pack shall be the outermost wrap, bag, or container of the unit pack.
 

When a barrier bag is used within another unit container, both the bag and the outermost container must be marked. Bundled items should be marked with a tag or by affixing a paper label under one of the bundled ties. The required markings should be placed so that they are not obscured by any strapping or closure tape."
