| Safety Warning Labels
How we help you: We are experts in label manufacturing and can create customized safety and warning labels specifically for your application. This level of configuration protects you from receiving a label that looks good but may not function for its intended purpose. Our team is constantly receiving updated information from ANSI, OSHA, and ISO and committing the old and new standards to memory. We have also completed numerous safety and warning label constructions for challenging applications. There are companies that make boilerplate safety labels, and often, they can’t accommodate if someone wants to include certain symbols in other parts of the label. What we do is customize configurations for these “common labels.” Here at Resource Label Group, we have an application review worksheet. It’s a checklist to ask questions about all of the requirements concerning the safety and warning labels. If a customer reaches out to us, our team would ask a series of questions and take the customer through the whole process. The worksheet asks questions about the platform, materials, and critical quality. This information is critical, particularly questions concerning the environment the label will live in and the surface it will adhere to. It is important that we receive the proper information upfront when working on a new order. Often, Resource Label Group may receive a drawing for a label order that won’t include the requirements for the particular kind of safety or warning label. The design doesn’t include color specifications like safety red or caution colors and unless the label house has the experience, it may be difficult to know the exact colors needed. Our team at Resource Label Group can take a more active role in designing safety and warning labels. If we’re given the symbol and the message, we can design a label with our understanding of the elements that will be present.
