It is important that to comply with ADR 2011 that these new labels are brought into use now.
Package labels are used on cartons or pallets and require 100mm diamonds. These are supplied in Rolls of 1000 or 500 Self Adhesive Vinyl labels with backing paper for easier handling. We will provide smaller quantities if required - please ask.
Transport labels are 250mm diamonds for use on containers or trailers and are supplied individually on heavy duty self adhesive vinyl. Minimum quantity is usually 25 labels but we are flexible.
CHIP labels are the Supply Labels which appear on individual products and provide safety information for the end user of the sustance as specified by the Safety data Sheet.
We can supply Blanks with the correctly positioned Orange Background blocks for overprinting by software packages such as Athena Advantage. These labels are produced on A4 synthetic sheets and are available in a variety of layouts from 2 - 16 labels per sheet.
CLP labels - under the new CLP regulations the familiar hazard symbols are being replaced with the new GHS Pictograms so you will need to change over to the new supply labels. We are currently in the transition phase.
Air Freight 2010 saw the introduction of new IATA Cargo Aircraft Only, and Excepted Quantity Labels.There are also new labels for Lithium Batteries and the Marine Pollutant triangle was replaced with a diamond Environmentally Hazardous Substance label.
We stock a full range of these as well as the more familiar labels.
