Why print your own GHS labels?
Despite complex and continuously evolving regulatory requirements, it’s never been easier for companies to produce their own chemical labels – provided they have the right software, label substrates and printers.
Printing your own labels, in-house, can provide you with a far more convenient and flexible level of control over your label compliance processes, whilst being practical and cost-effective.
If there are any regulatory changes, your labels can be updated in-house and reprinted immediately without costly delays. Bespoke designs can be created in a matter of hours, and tailored specifically to your needs, reducing waste, streamlining production and enabling you to print just the right amount of high quality GHS compliant labels exactly when you need them.
