Signet-branded overprint thermal transfer labels and thermal ribbon
Overprint labels offer the premium quality of a branded label, and the flexibility to incorporate variable information, to print labels on-demand. The Signet-branded overprint labels are the foundation for Colourpack's GHS-compliant labels. The labels are pre-printed with Signet's branding and required nonspecific GHS label information, such as manufacturing information, SDS reference and red hazard pictogram diamonds. As required by Colourpack's production schedule, the labels are then printed on demand with the relevant product information and GHS pictograms.
BarTender barcode labelling software
Colourpack uses BarTender software to design GHS-compliant label templates - the variable data to be printed onto the overprint labels on-demand as each batch is produced. This variable data includes required signal words, pictograms, hazard statements, precautionary statements, product identifiers and a list of ingredients and proportions.
BarTender software provides the Colourpack team with a quick-response solution to transition each type of label to comply with GHS.
"BarTender is critical to creating our GHS-compliant labels and provides the flexibility to change label layouts and text to ensure our labels comply with current regulations," affirms Paul Hughes, Colourpack Manager.
Datamax-O'Neil M-Class Desktop Industrial Thermal Printer
The Datamax-O'Neil industrial label printer is ideally suited for the harsh environmental conditions experienced in the Colourpack factory. This reliable industrial printer produces high-resolution GHS compliant labels printed on demand at high speeds, keeping pace with Colourpack's challenging production schedule.
"In-house printing of variable information provides flexibility to create templates for new products and amend labels accordingly, to comply with changing chemical regulations. Instead of holding stock of different product labels, we keep only the template labels which are used across a number of product ranges, saving costs and ensuring brand consistency across the product range," says Paul Hughes, Colourpack Manager, Signet.
