Now even barcode labels can be two colour

BERKSHIRE, U.K. - Jan. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Complying with GHS labelling requirements made easy!

Many manufacturers of chemicals or other hazardous substances must have had some serious head-scratching to do when the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) was introduced for their labelling. Storing two colour labels for their many products could become a nightmare, and potentially very expensive, especially if regulations changed again or new formulae were used, resulting in wasted labels.

Fortunately, QuickLabel Systems, with their expertise in label printing for many, many industries, recognised the problem and the Plexo! 453 two colour label printer addresses the issue easily when used in-house by the manufacturers.


This means that the mandatory red and black pictograms, together with any warning statements, barcode labels and chemical names can be printed on demand as the information is pulled directly from the production database software.

Cost-effectiveness at a premium

The Plexo! family of label printers also helps manufacturers to be as cost-effective as possible in other ways, as they use standard thermal transfer labels and ribbons. There is a clever ribbon saving device built in to each printer, which recognises that one colour (red, in the case of GHS labels) may be used far less than the other colour, in which case the Plexo! will save money by avoiding the unnecessary use of the red thermal transfer ribbon. If preferred, the barcode label can be the normal black, or two colour, for greater effect.

With the ability to print labels up to 4 inches wide and 79 inches long, it’s probable that it will meet all your label printing requirements.

In addition, another of QuickLabel Systems’ digital label printers, the Vivo! Touch, offers the option of printing GHS labels in four colours, if preferred, which offers more scope for attractive label design that still complies with the GHS pictogram requirements.

Once again, QuickLabel Systems demonstrate their understanding of label printing needs for all types of industry and can provide the most suitable in-house colour label printer for each business, whether multiple short print runs are required, or longer label print runs of many thousands per day.
