Household chemicals

As a manufacturer of household chemicals, you know very well that your products must not only work effectively, but above all be safe for users. The key element that links these two worlds is the label. It is the first line of communication with the customer, an instruction manual and a warning - all in one. That is why labels for household chemicals must be irremovable, legible throughout the product life cycle and 100% compliant with strict regulations.

Durable and resistant labels - the key to safety and image

Imagine that the label on a bottle of strong cleaning product smears when exposed to moisture or contact with the substance itself. Warnings disappear and instructions become illegible. This is a scenario that every manufacturer wants to avoid.

This is why choosing the right raw material is so important. In the case of chemical products, foil labels (made of PP, PE or PET) work best, which, in combination with a suitably selected adhesive, guarantee:

Resistance to water, grease and chemicals: The label retains its properties even in harsh bathroom or kitchen conditions.
Abrasion resistance: The information remains legible despite repeated gripping of the bottle, even with wet hands.
Colourfastness: The professional print will not fade, so the product looks aesthetically pleasing at all times.

This ensures that key safety information reaches the user and that your product looks impeccable on the shop shelf.

Household chemical labels and legal requirements (CLP)

Regulatory compliance is an absolute must. The main piece of legislation governing the labelling of chemical substances and mixtures in the European Union is the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, which requires manufacturers to include a number of key pieces of information on labels to ensure consumer safety.

Ignoring these guidelines not only risks high financial penalties, but above all poses a real health risk to users. We regularly follow changes in legislation, including the latest updates on label legibility, to ensure you are fully supported and have peace of mind.

What information needs to be on the label? Checklist

To make sure you haven't forgotten anything, we've compiled a list of the mandatory elements that must be included on the label of a household chemical product:

The name of the product and its purpose: Clear and understandable information on what the product is used for.
GHS warning pictograms: Standard, internationally recognisable symbols indicating the type of hazard (e.g. corrosive, flammable).
Hazard (H) and precautionary (P) statements: Specific messages on how to use the product safely and what to do in case of danger.
Chemical composition: Information on active substances and ingredients relevant to safety.
Details of manufacturer or distributor: Full name and address of the company responsible for the product.
Instructions for use and storage: Indications to ensure efficacy and safety.
Batch number and expiry date: Elements to identify the product in the system.
