Two-Colors are Required
One of the challenges that chemicals companies face due to the implementation of Hazcom 2012 is how to print the red border on their supplier/container labels.
Part 1910.1200 C.2.3 says:
C.2.3.1 Pictograms shall be in the shape of a square set at a point and shall include a black hazard symbol on a white background with a red frame sufficiently wide to be clearly visible. A square red frame set at a point without a hazard symbol is not a pictogram and is not permitted on the label.
The newly released WHMIS 2015 regulations adopted the same requirement.
Most companies like the flexibility of printing on-demand.
Printing On-Demand Options Include:
- Keep the monochrome laser printer and buy preprinted stock
- Buy a 2-color laser printer
- Buy a 2-color thermal transfer printer
- Inkjet printers (using pigmented inks)

There is no cookie-cutter approach. Every company has different requirements. How many labels are needed, how often they are needed, and how many different types are needed are just a few things to be considered. The environment where the printer and label stock is located also plays a part.
