Chemical Labels

As a specialist label manufacturer, we understand that labels for chemicals often need to fulfil changing legal requirements – governing which materials are permitted or demanded, how they must be printed, and which requirements self-adhesive labels must fulfil with regard to adhesion properties. We have plenty of experience cooperating with producers who operate within industries that are subject to strict labelling regulations – e.g. chemical, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, GHS-compliant etc. Regardless of whether it is a large or short print run, we take care of your label printing. On request, we can also send the chemical labels on rolls to your contract manufacturer or filler.

Since June 1 2015, the ‘Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals’, GHS for short, has been in force. The GHS is an internationally agreed programme which was initiated by the United Nations. The GHS standards were created to replace the legislation in place in individual countries and to guarantee standardised identification of hazardous goods. All manufacturers, importers and suppliers of chemical compounds and substances must adhere to these standards.

For us, as a label manufacturer, this means that we must supply GHS labels in the form of polypropylene and polyethylene film labels printed with the correct identifications, hazard and safety warnings. We will also print the prescribed GHS pictograms according to the container capacities you determine in the correct minimum sizes.

Please note: We do not assume any liability for the correctness of your chemical labels! Before printing, please check whether your label contains all mandatory information according to the GHS or CLP regulation.

Labels for chemicals must be resistant to particular stresses so that they remain adhesive and clearly legible for as long as the container is in use. They must not be damaged or destroyed by chemical substances so that it is possible to check at all times what the contents of the respective container are. We print roll labels, self-adhesive labels and film labels made from polypropylene and polyethylene which perfectly fulfil all the requirements of hazardous substance labelling.

As a manufacturer or bottler of chemicals, you will know that the packaging is subject to particularly stringent regulations in order to guarantee the safety of the user. This does not only entail that the material has to be resistant to stresses resulting from exposure to its contents. Label printing must also comply with legislative requirements. Labels for chemicals are generally hazardous substance labels. For this reason, no compromises can be made where quality is concerned. We print durable film labels to your precise requirements.

Alternatively, you can also order our sample book or request a test print so that you can see the print quality and our materials for yourself. In this way, you can be sure that we will stick to our quality commitments and everything will look just as you planned.

Does your label require a barcode? No problem! On our website for barcode labels you can find out all about the information we need from you to print a barcode on your label and the requirements such a label must meet.

As the name suggests, blank labels are labels with no print on them. That means they can be individually reprinted. They allow you to indicate different prices, best-before dates or filling quantities. At label.co.uk you can also order blank labels for your direct thermal or thermal transfer printer.

Opaque labels are ideal for covering up incorrect barcodes or information. You can also freely design these labels in terms of shape, design and finishes. Despite the high opacity, opaque labels can meet your designing requirements.

Since labels on chemical products need to provide a lot of information they are great candidates for multi-layer labels. These kinds of labels create a larger printing area for products that are sold in small containers. Thus, compromises in terms of design and font sizes are a thing of the past.
