Labels for Chemicals Marking that stays on the container – from jerrycan to IBC

HDPE jerrycans and IBCs with low surface energy, drums with curvature and beads, plus moisture, abrasion and chemical contact: in the chemical industry the bond of material, adhesive and print decides. We manufacture to your specification and carry your approved classification faithfully into print.

Labels and printed documents

What is marked in the chemical industry

From the hazardous goods container to the retained sample – and the matching paper for every container.

CLP container labels
01

CLP container labels

For bottles, jerrycans, drums and IBCs. We take pictograms, signal word, H and P statements and UFI faithfully from your approved classification.

Multi-layer and leaflet labels
02

Multi-layer and leaflet labels

When many languages and mandatory texts must fit a small container: multi-layer and folded constructions create space without enlarging the packaging.

Marine and export labels
03

Marine and export labels

For sea transport and outdoor marking. BS 5609 tests material (Section 2) and printed label (Section 3) separately – we sample the complete construction.

Laboratory and sample labels
04

Laboratory and sample labels

Small formats with variable IDs for samples, reagents and retained samples – medium, cold and solvent contact determine the construction.

Batch, release and pallet labels
05

Batch, release and pallet labels

Quarantine, release, storage and dispatch: variable batch, status and SSCC data for handling and frequent scanning.

Accompanying documents and tags
06

Accompanying documents and tags

SDS sets, ADR transport documents, sampling carbonless sets, loading checklists and numbered hold and release tags – printed to your template.

Technical basis

What we discuss before choosing the material

A material recommendation without test medium, substrate and temperature profile is guesswork. We clarify these four points with you – sampling happens on the fully printed construction.

Substrate
  • HDPE jerrycans and IBCs are low-energy substrates
  • On drums, paint, corrosion protection, oil film, curvature and beads change the bond
  • Small bottles: curvature, small bonding area and condensation limit the construction
Media contact
  • Test medium, concentration and contact duration are part of the specification
  • “Chemical-resistant” without a test medium is not a specification
  • Approval on the fully printed construction, not on the raw material
Temperature
  • Specify application and service temperature separately
  • Outdoor storage and sea transport bring freeze-thaw and humidity cycles
  • Reliable figures apply per material code, not per material class
Mechanics and weathering
  • Abrasion when handling drums and IBCs
  • UV and weathering in outdoor storage
  • BS 5609 separates material construction (Section 2) and printed label (Section 3)

Mandatory information

Marking that stays legible on the container

The content of CLP marking – pictograms, signal word, H and P statements, UFI – comes from your approved classification; we print it repeatably and document the material code. For barcodes and 2D codes, ISO/IEC 15416 and 15415 provide the test methods – target grade and test interval are agreed with you.

  • CLP content transferred faithfully from your approved classification
  • UFI, batch and SSCC data from number range management and master data
  • Repeat orders with documented material code
More space under the label.. Pull the corner – like a multi-layer label.. Multi-layer for many languages. Mandatory texts on a small area. Open and reclose

hummel360°

When the problem is not the label but the process before it

Product, hazard and container data already sit in your ERP, PIM or regulatory system. With hummel360° we map how they turn into ordering, data transfer, print data and traceability. Built around your process, not off the shelf.

  • Approved data instead of copy and paste

    Article, language, container size and variable batch data arrive as a file or through an interface, and the approved label variants come out as print data. The classification itself stays with you, we reproduce it faithfully.

  • Sites and contract fillers order for themselves

    Every site sees only its approved range, enters the variable data and triggers the reorder. You decide who may do what. Suppliers can take part without an account of their own.

  • Keep the documents behind the label current

    A QR code on the container leading to a centrally maintained page with your approved safety data sheets can be added to your portal. It does not replace the mandatory information printed on the label.
