Did You Know We Can Also Digitally Print Labels?

February 13, 2020 By Heather Northrop

Digital printing is the biggest growing area in the label printing industry. Developments in digital technology have seen a huge advance in digital printing.

A Digital press allows for on demand/bespoke printing and it is a cost effective solution for many label buyers. Whether you need 1 label or 100,000 labels we have the technology to be that flexible.

With less waste, accurate colour matching, digital is the perfect solution for many clients.

Digitally printed labels can be printed on a variety of different materials and finishes. Through our investment in the latest technology we are able to produce high quality print without the need for high volumes and print runs.

Key Information To Companies Placing Hazardous Mixtures On The EEA Market And What It Means For Your Product Labels!

January 30, 2020 By Heather Northrop

A new label element will appear on product labels from 2020 – a 16-character code called the unique formula identifier (UFI). By 2025, the UFI will be mandatory on the label of all products classified for health or physical hazards. Importers and downstream users placing such products on the market, will have to provide specific product information, including the UFI, to poison centres.

WHAT IS A UFI?
The unique formula identifier, known by its acronym UFI, is a 16-character alphanumeric code that will be required on the label of your products that contain a hazardous mixture.
In addition to the UFI, you are also required to provide other information on your mixture and associated products to poison centres, such as composition, trade name, colour, packaging, product category and toxicological information. The UFI aims to establish an unambiguous link between the information you provide with the product you place on the market.

HOW WILL THE UFI BE USED?
The UFI and the other information you have provided, will primarily be used by poison centres in the event of an emergency call. For example, the UFI can be read directly from the label of a product to a poison centre operator in addition to the trade name to precisely identify the product involved in an incident.

DOES THE UFI ALWAYS HAVE TO BE INCLUDED ON THE LABEL?
The UFI must be printed on or affixed to the label of all your products containing hazardous mixtures. It is also possible to indicate the UFI on the package of the product provided it is in close proximity to other labelling information.

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR A UFI CODE ON THE LABEL?
The acronym ‘UFI’ (the same in all EU languages and alphabets, and not to be translated) must be in capital letters and be followed by a 16-character alphanumeric code. The code is divided into four blocks, each separated by a hyphen. While no specific requirements have been set, for instance, for font type or size, the UFI has to be clearly visible and legible on the label of the product. Given the variation in label sizes, and other labelling requirements competing for label space, the UFI should be positioned so that it is easy to locate (e.g. near the barcode or hazard pictograms). In essence, you must determine how the UFI is displayed on the product in the most effective manner to assist with its communication to poison centres.

BY WHEN SHOULD THE UFI BE ON THE LABEL?
In all situations, the timing for including the UFI on the label of the product must coincide with the submission of harmonised information. It is not recommended to place the UFI on the label of the product if that UFI has not been included in a notification to the appointed body. In such cases, an ‘empty UFI’ will not provide any assistance to poison centres in the event of an emergency.
For mixtures not already on the market, your obligations to submit harmonised information and place the UFI on the label will apply from:
• 1 Jan 2020 (consumer use)
• 1 Jan 2021 (professional use)
• 1 Jan 2024 (industrial use)

If you have existing mixtures already on the market, you may benefit from a transitional period which ends 1 Jan 2025. This means that after this date, all mixtures classified for health or physical effects will be required to bear the UFI on the label.

New Corona Treatment Unit

July 20, 2015 By Peter Waddington

Northrop’s have invested in a New Corona Treatment Unit

We have just invested in a new Corona unit here at Northrop’s. What is Corona Treatment?

Corona is a visible electrical discharge which occurs when a high voltage, high frequency electrical potential is applied to a small diameter electrode in relatively close proximity to an electrical ground. The resulting electrical discharge is known as a “Corona Discharge”. This corona discharge will cause partial ionization of the surrounding atmosphere and can be used for surface modification.

GHS Labels Deadline Next Year

April 15, 2014 By octavian

GHS Labels DeadlineGHS labels are available now to comply with the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals created by the United Nations.

The CLP Regulation (European Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures) was created by The European Commission to adopt this new GHS system. The regulation came into force on the 20th January 2009 and will be applied to all EU member states, including the UK in June 2015.

GHS labels have been created to replace the various classifications and labeling standards that currently exist in different countries. The main objectives are to facilitate international trade in chemicals and to maintain the existing level of protection of human health and environment.

New pictograms with a white background are replacing the orange ones in the EU. Make sure you learn what the labels mean and read the instructions to ensure safe use. Information on the CLP pictograms and on the label is available on the European Chemical Agency website:

http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/chemicals-in-our-life/clp-pictograms.

All our GHS labels and CLP labels are produced on a PP (Polypropylene) material. The base material used conforms with B.S 5609:1986 which is perfect for transport by Road, Rail, Air and Sea.

Our GHS labels and CLP labels fully comply with the ADR, RID, IMDG & IATA requirements. Some labels can be produced in a format suitable for automatic application and over print.

Beer Labels

August 15, 2013 By octavian

Digital printing of beer labelsNorthrop’s have a label printing solution for bulk and short run beer labels. Our digital label printing service can help you with a quality, affordable way of labelling beer bottles under your own brand or design.

 

Multi Design Digital Beer Labels Printing.

 

Using our multi design digital label printing service means you can have a number of different beer label designs printed as part of the same print run. Also known as multi sort labels, this allows you to have various beer label designs printed on the same label template, without the expense of starting a new print run for each one.

So, for example, you could have a beer bottle label printed for a number of different products. With a print run of 5,000, you might want 2000 of one design and 2,000 of another design but only 1000 of the third design.

With our digital printed label service your beer labels can be printed quickly and in whatever quantity you need. All we need are the files for your various designs.

Digital label printing technology has allowed us to meet the needs of our customers in a whole new, flexible and exciting way.

The multi design digital label printing service helps our clients across a variety of industries to create ranges of product labels for minimum cost.

Multi-sort label printing is part of our digital printing service.

To find out more about our digital beer label printing, please complete the enquiry form here or give us a call on (0)1756 700555.

Our digital label range includes beer, drinks, water bottle, and wine bottle labels along with many more.
