11 Label: Trade is a small cloth label used to mark the contents of a player-built Storage container in Windrose. Each label has a printed icon, in this case the Trade icon, that hangs from a chest, barrel, or crate so the contents can be identified at a glance without opening the container. It is one of ten named Labels in the game, each offered in a Cloth and a Wooden variant, giving twenty label pieces in total.

56 A sign for organized captains who want to remember which treasure is stashed in which chest.
67 How to Use
78  
89 Walk up to a placed Storage container and select the Attach Label option from the radial menu. Pick the label from the inventory and it snaps onto the chest. Removing or replacing the label is free. The label is purely visual: it does not lock the container's contents to any item type, and it does not sort items automatically, but it makes a base with many chests far easier to navigate.

1011 What the Trade Icon Means
1112  
1213 The Trade label is meant for containers holding Piastres, goods bought from a Trade Goods merchant, and resale stock kept for profit. Grouping these items under a single icon keeps a captain's commerce stockpile separate from raw materials, food, and weapons. Because the label is cosmetic, any item can physically go inside; the icon is a reminder of intent rather than a filter.

1415 How to Craft
1516  
1617 Crafted at a Workbench from 1 Coarse Fabric per label. Coarse Fabric is the basic cloth refined from plant fibre, so labels are cheap to mass-produce once a steady fabric supply is running. The Wooden variant of each label uses a small amount of Wood instead, for captains who prefer the rustic look.

2425 Tips

2627 Stockpile a stack of every label icon at once. Crafting individual labels in the middle of organising a base is fiddly, and the cost is small enough that having the full set ready saves time.Group labelled containers in straight rows. Labels read better as a wall of icons than as scattered marks across a room.Labels persist through container moves. Picking up a labelled chest and replacing it elsewhere keeps the label attached, so a base reorganisation does not require re-labelling.Pair the Trade label with chests placed near your dock or Wharf, so resale goods are close to the ship when it is time to sail out and sell.
