Geef de naam door en label elke verhuisdoos.

Because geef ... door is the separable verb doorgeven, which often means:

• to pass on
• to forward
• to relay

So Geef de naam door is not just Give the name, but Pass on the name / Relay the name.

This is very common in Dutch: a basic verb combines with a small extra part to create a new meaning.

• geven = to give
• doorgeven = to pass on

In the sentence, that extra part door gets separated and moves toward the end.

Because with separable verbs in a main clause or imperative, the main verb comes earlier and the separable part usually goes later.

So:

• infinitive: doorgeven
• imperative: Geef ... door
• main clause: Ik geef de naam door.

The object de naam normally sits between the verb and the separable particle:

• Geef de naam door.

That word order is the normal Dutch pattern.

Geef is the imperative singular of geven (to give).

So Geef de naam door means Pass on the name or Give the name along as a command to one person.

Useful comparison:

• geven = infinitive
• ik geef = I give
• geef! = give! / pass on!

If you were speaking to multiple people or using the formal u, Dutch can also use:

• Geeft de naam door.

But Geef ... is the usual informal singular command.

Dutch usually needs an article where English sometimes does too, and sometimes even where English might omit it.

Here de naam literally means the name. In context, that can still translate naturally as:

• pass on the name
• pass along the name

Dutch prefers de naam here because naam is a countable noun and normally takes an article when you mean a specific item.

Also, naam is a de-word, so its article is de.

Yes. Here label is the imperative of the verb labelen, meaning to label.

So:

• labelen = to label
• label = label! / attach a label to!

Dutch often borrows words from English, especially in practical or business contexts. Some speakers might also use a more traditional verb like:

• etiketteer from etiketteren

But label is understandable and natural in many contexts.

Because elke means each or every, and in Dutch it is followed by a singular noun.

So:

• elke verhuisdoos = each moving box / every moving box

This is similar to English:

• every box, not every boxes

So even though the meaning refers to all the boxes individually, the noun stays singular after elke.

Verhuisdoos is a compound noun:

• verhuizen = to move house / relocate
• doos = box

Together:

• verhuisdoos = moving box / removal box

Dutch very often writes compound nouns as one word. This is much more common than in English.

Other examples:

• huisdeur = house door / front door
• tafelblad = tabletop
• boekenkast = bookcase

So verhuisdoos is completely normal as one single word.

It can be understood as either, depending on context.

• each moving box
• every moving box

In many practical instructions, English might prefer each because it highlights individual items one by one. But Dutch elke can cover both ideas well.

If the instruction is about making sure no box is missed, label every moving box is a very natural translation.

Yes. It contains two imperatives joined by en (and):

1. Geef de naam door
2. label elke verhuisdoos

So the full sentence is:

• Pass on the name and label each moving box.

This kind of structure is very common in instructions and checklists.

Not especially; it is a straightforward imperative:

• label = verb
• elke verhuisdoos = direct object

So the pattern is simply:

• Verb + object

That makes the contrast with the first part useful:

• Geef de naam door → separable verb, so door moves away
• label elke verhuisdoos → ordinary verb, so nothing splits

That is why the two halves look slightly different.
