PLYMOUTH, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Primera Technology, Inc., one of the world’s leading manufacturers of specialty printers, announced an all-in-one solution for GHS and chemical labeling.
The LX-Series pigmented ink and CX-Series toner are now BS5609 (Marine Immersion Label testing standard) certified when printed on BS5609 approved materials. Smithers Pira, the worldwide authority on the packaging, paper and print industry supply chains, tested three materials, (previously approved for BS5609) with GHS text, coloring and pictograms. The testing included print key effectiveness, abrasion resistance and permanence of print evaluations. All three materials, ink and toner passed all three categories with flying colors.
GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling of chemicals defining health, physical and environmental hazards. The deadline for manufacturers/distributors to adopt GHS labeling is June 1, 2015, and many are still looking for a solution to easily adopt this standard. Bartender software, from Seagull Scientific, provides users with an easy-to-use GHS template. Bartender software is included with LX-Series and CX1000 Color Label Printer purchases.
Key features of Bartender’s GHS template include:
- Built-in business rules for GHS that enable regulatory compliance
- Full-color template to generate compliant, consistent labels
- Populates all data, including the mandated product information and GHS symbols
“Primera is pleased to be partnering with Seagull Scientific on our turn-key GHS labeling solution,” said Mark D. Strobel, Primera’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Customers who must be compliant with GHS labeling standards can be confident that the two leaders in their respective product categories – Primera and Seagull – will provide them with an easy-to-use, durable and cost-effective solution.”
