How it's used
Derived from the English word mark, this term is deeply embedded in Hong Kong business and shipping culture. It is frequently used to refer to the logo or brand identity on physical goods, especially in logistics or manufacturing contexts. While it can refer to a company logo, it is often used more broadly for any identifying mark or label on a package.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English word mark in a general sense, as it is specifically tied to branding or identification labels. It is not used for abstract concepts like a mark of respect or a grade on a test.
