A labeling plate, which is to be fastened to the outside surface of the outer cage of a shipping and storage tank for liquids, has an upper and lower frame section and two lateral frame sections, which project outwardly beyond the labeling area of the labeling plate and frame the labeling surface. The labeling areas of the labeling plates of two storage tanks standing side by side on a loading surface are kept spaced apart by the frame sections, so that damage to the labels pasted on the labeling areas of the labeling plates is avoided.
