Companies that ship chemicals, coatings, solvents, and hazardous materials often require BS5609 compliant labels for drums, pails, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). Producing them isn't just about the label material. The printer, ink, and media must work together as a certified system.
We offer both color inkjet and thermal transfer printing systems that support BS5609 labeling requirements, designed to withstand saltwater exposure, abrasion, UV exposure, and chemical contact.
