Labeling solution for GHS requirement
A new system for the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures was introduced throughout Europe on 1-20-2009, when the European GHS regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, also referred to as CLP regulation, entered into force. The new EU directive also affects labeling requirements. Because new red diamond-shaped symbols and H and P statements now replace the so far used pictograms on orange squares and the R and S statements (Risk and Safety notes) must be combined on one label.
Resourceful and perfectly conceived
The Legi-Air Twin, with its two series-connected printing modules, is the answer to meeting the legal requirements. Apart from the hazard statements “H” and the precautionary statements “P”, the 2-colored warning symbols are also printed in the required quantities and dimensions, as required. As well as product designations, quantity information, logos, barcodes (1- or 2-dimensional) are printed cleanly. Legi-Air Twin labels different sized pallets, folding boxes and especially barrels, in through feed mode, with small and large label sizes, multi-colored and at various customized positions on the containers.
In developing the Twin, reliable handling of large size labels received particular attention. The Legi-Air Twin is based on the Legi-Air 4050, which is fitted with a special belt applicator ad jacent to the second print unit. This is designed so that, with barrel labeling for instance, it adjusts to match the height and diameter of different container sizes automatically. This enables accurate, central labeling away from the seams.
