- HP 240 Fragile – Handle with Care: The updated print features an image of a pair of hands holding a carton to indicate the need to be gentle while handling.

- HP 240 Stop if Seal is Broken: Featuring a STOP sign and cautionary message, this print is often used as a safety precaution in the event of a pilfered carton or one damaged during transit.
