Label printer now BS5609 compliant

July 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Manufacturers who have to transport hazardous chemicals by sea must ensure that their labels satisfy stringent conditions. These conditions include all the vital information on the label, such as warning symbols and pictograms and health warnings, remaining clearly visible, with a minimum of colour change, even when they have been immersed in sea water for several months. The labels also have to stay firmly adhered to the container, whether subject to sand abrasion or seawater immersion.

QuickLabel’s versatile Kiaro! range of colour label printers has long led the field when it comes to virtually all types of labels, with the Kiaro! D model being well-known for use when labels have to be durable in wet, oily or dirty conditions.More information is available at http://www.quicklabel.co.uk/.
