It is a regulatory obligation to communicate the nature of hazards by clear and durable labeling of packages. The labeling industry has to be able to produce and supply the labels to meet the needs of their customers while communicating danger effectively. In addition, customers will often come to the label provider for advice and guidance on the often-confusing maze of rules and regulations, so label manufacturers have a need to keep themselves up to date on the legislation covering labeling requirements and hazard communication. Hazardous substances are often produced in chemically or physically harsh environments and labels have to withstand attack from a number of different corrosive agents. This has to be taken into account when choosing the label’s material and the specification of the inks used for printing. As shippers, it is imperative that the labels you choose for package identification be designed to withstand simple to extreme conditions of transport and storage.
