E-cigarette manufacturers need to remember the importance of color label printers, not just for the devices themselves, but for accessories and related products. The Associated Press reported on legislature related liquid nicotine packaging regulations that have been approved by the Ohio state Senate Transportation, Commerce and Labor Committee. According to the source, this measure would mandate that such packaging be made difficult for children to open to prevent injury.
Although e-cigarette and vaporizer sales have increased in recent years, producers need to remember the possible impact on those who may accidentally handle the items improperly. The specificity that applies to e-cigarette labels also has to be consistent on related items for consistency and government compliance.
The need for a custom kind of color label printing solution extends beyond safety. An article in Modern Farmers recently profiled Vape Organics, a company that produces nicotine refills, including the first liquid nicotine to be certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Before this, its product line of nicotine-free additives was noteworthy, and the article features a photo of several different flavored liquids rendered in special coded colors on a uniform brown background.
These two examples show the way color and label specificity play a role in label accuracy. OptiMedia labs features multiple options for printing labels, from the Primera LX900, which features a warranty up to three years, to the Afinia R635 Color Label Press, which can print images at 1200 x 600 dpi resolution and a speed of 30 feet per minute. This last option also accepts printing media as wide as 8.5 inches, meaning it could be used for other purposes in addition to custom e-cigarette labels.
