Capital Letter C indicates the packaging material is which?

Explanation:
In this coding system, letters printed on packaging are used to identify the material at a glance for handling and compliance. Capital letter C corresponds to natural wood as the packaging material, so the package is made of natural wood rather than steel, plastic, or plywood. Recognizing this matters because wood packaging often carries specific requirements (like ISPM 15 treatment) and has different handling and moisture considerations compared with metal or plastic. The other materials would be indicated by different codes, so seeing C tells you it is natural wood.
