Labels for dangerous goods and hazardous substances – reliable and legally compliant

The Dangerous Goods Ordinance (GGVSEB, GGVSee, ...) lists all dangerous goods. It is supplemented by international regulations such as the ADR (road transport), ADN (inland waterways), IMDG (sea transport) or RID (rail).

The IMDG Code (International Maritime Code for Dangerous Goods) is the regulation for the carriage of dangerous goods in maritime transport, drawn up by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of the United Nations.

Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) / IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations is a set of regulations for the transport of dangerous goods in air traffic by IATA (International Air Transport Association).

Film labels from HERMA, manufactured using our own adhesives, are the perfect basis for your chemical labels and labels for hazardous substances. Preprinted labels with GHS diamond frames in your label format are ideal for custom overprinting with your printer.

• On a roll for thermal transfer printers
  We manufacture labels for hazardous substances for thermal transfer printing. Made of various adhesive materials and supplied on a roll, they can either be applied manually or dispensed via labellers. High labelling speeds are possible. Our special die-cutting technique prevents soiling of the thermal transfer printer and labeller despite a high adhesive application (which is especially important for secure adhesion).

• On a roll for inkjet printers with pigmented inks
  Inkjet printers for labels on rolls can print various pictograms for hazards and dangerous goods in colour and with different texts. HERMA’s saltwater-resistant inkjet labels ensure brilliant colours and high print quality. The print image is smudge-proof and waterproof thanks to the special coating on the film labels’ surface. The adhesive is temperature-resistant and adheres securely even on critical surfaces. The labels for hazardous substances also repel oil and dirt.

• On A4 or A3 sheets as well as in special formats, for black-and-white and colour laser printers
  BS 5609-certified film labels from HERMA are the ideal solution for printing short runs with laser printers and colour laser printers. The special laser material has excellent toner fixation and processing reliability. All film materials used in labels for hazardous substances meet the stringent requirements of the British Standard.

These labels are also highly resistant to environmental conditions and have excellent adhesion.

To buy labels for hazardous substances: use the enquiry form to tell us what you need. We will work with you to develop the labels you need for identifying your dangerous goods.

Of course we also produce labels for dangerous goods in the prescribed diamond format with conspicuous colours. All the hazard classes in Germany’s Hazardous Substances Ordinance are represented.

These highly visible diamond-shaped labels with pictogram and hazard class are mandatory for the transport of dangerous goods by road, rail, sea or air. Such labelling is required for extremely flammable, toxic, corrosive, radioactive and carcinogenic substances, to give only a few examples. Here too, what counts is to select the right combination of film material and adhesive:

• Secure adhesion to metal containers and barrels made of plastic or steel
• Special adhesives with high tack and excellent final adhesion
• Resistant to liquids, grease, oil, alkalis, solvents and acids
• Film materials made of PE, PP and PET: dirt-repellent, resistant to cold and heat, and saltwater-resistant
• Labels for dangerous goods are suitable for flat or curved surfaces, depending on the type of film. They also adhere securely and permanently to shrink and stretch films.

One of HERMA’s core strengths is the production of custom labels in large quantities. This enables us to fulfil your particular requirements when it comes to labelling dangerous goods.
Through our cooperative agreement with BOXLAB Services, we are also able to offer you labels for dangerous goods in small quantities and on attractive terms. BOXLAB Services is responsible for operative handling of HERMA’s labels for dangerous goods. The adhesive material is supplied by HERMA, and production (punching and printing) is done by HERMA – in the usual high quality. BOXLAB Services handles packaging and delivery of your labels for dangerous goods.

BOXLAB Services, which specialises in the labelling of dangerous goods, can also advise you on processes and packaging.
