Pressure-Sensitive Drum Labels
IMGD-Certified For Exteme Weather
Are you looking to source heavy-duty custom drum labels? When transporting hazardous bulk chemicals globally, your packaging must survive incredibly corrosive environments. We manufacture IMDG-certified, heavy-duty labels that fit your industry’s requirements and ship globally. Consequently, our labels easily withstand extreme weather, severe mechanical abrasion, and prolonged chemical exposure. Therefore, your critical barcodes and safety warnings remain permanently affixed and fully legible.
We specifically engineer heavy-duty Pressure-Sensitive Labels to wrap flawlessly around standard containers. Specifically, these conform perfectly to large steel and plastic 55-gallon industrial drums. As a result, they maintain complete structural integrity during incredibly rough transport.
We manufacture fully branded, high-resolution labels customized with your specific corporate graphics. Additionally, we integrate your static safety information directly into the bold visual design. Therefore, your heavy-duty packaging looks highly professional while remaining completely compliant.
Transporting bulk chemicals requires extreme durability to avoid costly compliance failures. Therefore, we engineer rugged Industrial & Chemical Labels specifically for harsh bulk transport. Consequently, your packaging survives direct exposure to highly corrosive commercial solvents.
When it comes to supply chain tracking, variable data, and demanding industrial environments, your information needs to be as indestructible as your packaging. Northern Label manufactures premium custom thermal transfer labels engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while delivering crisp, smudge-proof barcodes and text.
We guarantee complete alignment with strict OSHA Hazard Communication standards. Specifically, these clearly communicate vital chemical risks to your hardworking employees. As a result, you maximize workplace safety and prevent dangerous exposure incidents.
We manufacture high-performance blank canvases for your exact commercial packaging needs. Furthermore, these are ready for immediate in-house printing via your Thermal Transfer Labels system. Ultimately, this gives your facility total flexibility for on-demand variable data printing.
OSHA has adopted new hazardous chemical labeling requirements as a part of its recent revision of the Hazard Communication Standard
IMDG Code or International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code is accepted as an international guideline for our drum labels to the safe transportation or shipment of dangerous goods or hazardous materials by water on vessel. IMDG Code is intended to protect crew members and to prevent marine pollution in the safe transportation of hazardous materials by vessel. It is recommended to governments for adoption or for use as the basis for national regulations.
What is an IMDG-Certified Drum Label?
Classes, Divisions, & Packing Groups:
Substances (including mixtures and solutions) and articles subject to the provisions of this Code are assigned to one of the classes 1-9 according to the hazard or the most predominant of the hazards they present. Some of these classes are subdivided into divisions.These classes or divisions are as listed below:
Class 1: Explosives
Division 1.1:
- substances and articles which have a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.2:
- substances and articles which have a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.3:
- substances and articles which have a fire hazard and either a minor blast hazard or a minor projection hazard or both, but not a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.4:
- substances and articles which present no significant hazard
Division 1.5:
- very insensitive substances which have a mass explosion hazard
Division 1.6:
- extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard
Class 2: Gases
Class 2.1
- Flammable gases
Class 2.2:
- Non-flammable, non-toxic gases
Class 2.3:
- Toxic gases
Class 3: Flammable Liquids
Class 4: Flammable solids
Substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
Class 4.1
- Flammable solids, self-reactive substances and desensitized explosivesx
Class 4.2
- Substances liable to spontaneous combustion
Division 4.3:
- Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
Class 5:
- Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides
Class 5.1
- Oxidizing substances
Class 5.2
- Organic peroxides
Class 6:
- Toxic and infectious substances
Class 6.1
- Toxic substances
Class 6.1
- Infectious substances
Class 7:
- Radioactive material
Class 8:
- Corrosive substances
Class 9:
- Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles
