Well, except for line breaks, which is probably necessary if you’re putting text like this on a box. I would suggest Truppenfahrrad-Unterstützungskasten with a hyphen, which likely will also form a good point for the line break.

"Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwach ungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz"
It is so long spaces are automatically added by the forum software
