A Beginner’s Introduction to GHS Requirements for HazMat and Chemical Labeling
The GHS labeling requirements were designed to establish global safety standards for labeling of chemicals and hazardous materials.
Read MoreChemical product labels tend to require excellent durability, distinctive branding and contain a myriad of instructional, SDS and GHS regulatory information.
We offer various label constructions that can enable you to maximize your branding while integrating the necessary information on your product package. The key to this ability lies in the various constructions of Expanded Content Labels (ECL), also known as Extended Content Labels.
For brand-heavy applications such as household cleaners, car care, consumer grade pesticides, insecticides, machinery lubricants and solvents, Expanded Content Labels offer a clear space for your branding and Point Of Sale (POS) information while incorporating multiple internal panels where the necessary SDS (Safety Data Sheet) and regulatory information can reside even if you have multiple languages.
Thanks to the versatility of the Expanded Content Label construction, content space can be allocated for regulatory information pursuant to multiple international markets. This gateway label design may allow your product to grow into new markets without necessitating an inventory of market-specific label SKU’s.
Our extensive custom production capabilities and experience enables us to combine unique materials that can withstand the rigors of various hazardous chemical products. We also can produce labeling solutions using UL and FDA certified materials.
We can also produce custom commercial chemical labels that can incorporate static printing and allow you to thermal or laser imprint product specific information at your facility. We can integrate unique design features including perforations, varnishes, spot overlamination and custom adhesive pattern printing and deadening.
We look forward to developing label solutions that address your labeling needs, improve production efficiency and provide your end user with the information they need.
