If your company manufacturers chemicals that require GHS BS5609 labels, you need to have a capable color label printer able to meet these standards. It's even more important to consider this equipment because the deadline for drum and chemical labels soon be here in January 2015.
All of the labels that fit in the GHS BS5609 categories need to be clearly rendered and easy to read in strong colors, and also large and durable enough to be applied to chemical containers, including those that might see moisture.
As companies in the chemical industry know, the GHS labels that apply to their products are composed of multiple components, including pictograms, a barcode and specific lists of hazards and related instructions that can be easily read. Everything needs to be uniform and accurate, with the signal words and applicable pictograms all easy to decipher. Focusing on this proves that your company has an attention to detail.
These labels need to accomplish several objectives: They have to make sure your business is held accountable and can be identified, they have to communicate important stats to all users and they need to be current.
The printer that you choose has to fit all of your needs and be compatible with the label stock and ink that you also need to use, which are available through Optimedia Labs. Each one will come with features and accessories that make printing on a grand scale easier.
