iSys Label receives GHS BS5609 Section 3 certification
CALGARY, ALBERTA—iSys Label and iSys-The Imaging Systems Group Inc, the Canadian developers and manufacturers of short- to mid-run digital label printers, have passed Section 3 certification for use in the EDGE 850 digital label printer. The recently approved substrate is matte white polyester from UPM Raflatac, with part #LS276R, and can be purchased from iSys-appointed converters in the U.S.
“We’ve developed a strong relationship with UPM Raflatac over the years and are pleased to announce the addition of their substrate to our Certified Media Library,” Randy Rickert, director at iSys Label, said. “This material will provide our users with access to more solutions when printing BS5609-compliant labels.”
In order to print fully-compliant drum and chemical labels, the facestock, adhesive and printed graphic all need to meet the requirements for sections 1, 2 and 3 of BS5609 standards and be independently tested and certified by PIRA (the Print Industry Research Association). The printed labels are exposed to artificial weathering, tape removal and abrasion resistance tests to ensure they are capable of withstanding the harshest environments and prove their durability.
The EDGE 850 “GHS Solution” is a roll-to-roll digital label printer and comes complete with the printer, feeder, rewinder and EDGE2Print software. With easy-to-use drag and drop software, and print speed of 4.3 m/min., iSys Label makes simple work of printing full-color chemical labels on demand. Users will eliminate the need for ordering pre-printed labels, reduce inventories and wait times by being able to customize their labels with variable information and full color - all in a single pass.
