Custom Drum Labels & GHS Compliance
Tear-proof IMDG-certified and GHS-compliant flexographic labels.
Drum labels must be incredibly durable. Specifically, they adhere directly to rough painted steel or ridged plastic containers. Furthermore, these drums almost always carry highly hazardous materials. Consequently, your custom labels must remain permanently adhered. They must stay perfectly legible under extreme environmental stress.

GHS & OSHA Industry Standard Label Content
Chemical manufacturers, importers, and distributors must label drums of hazardous chemicals with the appropriate elements listed below:

1. Product Identifier
Chemical name exactly as it is on the SDS. If the mixture is covered by UN model regulations for transport of dangerous goods, the UN shipping name should also appear on the label.

2. Signal Word
The appropriate signal word should be printed on the drum label that corresponds to the class of the most severe hazard – “Danger” for more severe or “Warning” for less severe. The label should contain only one signal word.

3. Hazard Statements(s)
Standardized statements assigned to a hazard class and category describing the nature and degree of the hazard(s) of a chemical.

4. Pictograms*
There are nine GHS pictograms to choose from that have common characteristics of the black symbol within a red diamond border. Each is intended to convey information about the hazards of a chemical. Note: Certain GHS pictograms should not be present together when pertaining to the same chemical hazard to avoid confusion. If a transport pictogram is present, a GHS pictogram for the same hazard should not be displayed.

5. Precautionary Statement(s)
Phrases describing recommended measures to be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to Hazardous Chemicals, or improper storage or handling of a hazardous chemical.

6. Supplier Identification
Name, address, and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor of the substance or mixture should be provided on the Chemical Drum Label.
