Labelling for chemical safety and compliance on labels of products

Many departments and pieces of legislation are involved and apply to the labelling of chemical products in South Africa. The departments of Trade and Industry, Environmental Affairs, Transport, Labor and the South African Bureau of Standards interact in the administration of chemical management.

The Consumer Protection Act No. 68 of 2008 (CPA) requires that product labels have to show their contents and trade details as well as describe any hazards. For instance if there is a risk that the product has an unusual characteristic or danger that an ordinary consumer wouldn’t be expected to know about, the supplier is compelled to bring these warnings and instructions to the customers attention in plain and understandable language.

Is sustainability important for labelling personal care products?

As consumers become increasingly aware of the impact that packaging has on the environment, it’s crucial that household product designers and brand managers make design choices that consider every step in the product’s lifecycle.  Using a more sustainable label substrate could have a noticeable impact on your company’s carbon footprint and minimises your environmental impact. It further supports the  branding of “green” household products. These labelling material options are produced with reduced CO2 emissions, water and energy usage. They also consider sourcing raw materials from certified renewable and recycled content. 

 

Lebone Paarl Labels is Forestry Stewardship Council® Chain of Custody (FSC® CoC) certified. Our clients can include this green mark of approval on pressure sensitive labels (PSL) printed by us on FSC CoC certified substrates as an indication to their customers that they have made a printing responsibly choice. This is independent international verification that products printed can be traced back from their point of origin to responsible, well managed forestry, controlled and recycled sources.

Selecting durable substrates for household product labels

Packaging oils, lubricants and other chemicals poses unique challenges. The label material must be tested for enduring adhesion on specific surface types such as painted steel or moulded polyethylene drums, in a variety of conditions and under exposure to mechanical strain and contact with chemicals. 

Lebone Paarl Labels can assist you with the sourcing of suitable GHS compliant petrochemical label substrates that will stay functional for the life cycle of packaging with resistance to heat, solvents, chemicals, UV and water. These face stocks have passed BS5609 and the British Standard Section 2 and 3 label testing, including a three-month ocean exposure, as part of International Maritime Dangerous Goods certification.  This range of heavy industrial labelling stock include.

Polyethylene (PE) 

A tough, stretchy plastic film that is both water and temperature resistant. It is produced more optically clear than polypropylene and it is commonly used at Lebone Paarl Labels for the production of food product labels.

Polypropylene (PP) 

It is similar to polyethylene plastic film but is stronger and more rigid. It has a higher temperature and is also chemically resistant. It is tear-proof, waterproof and is resistant to fading. Lebone Paarl Labels uses Polypropylene (PP) in different variations of thickness for the printing of retail packaging labels in South Africa.

 

The technical team at Lebone Paarl Labels will assist you to select the most suitable substrate for your petrochemical label requirements.
