Color Labels Required

Europe is known as the world's largest exporter of chemical products. The market size exceeds EUR 120 billion. Turkey holds an important position among countries in this market. Chemical products must be labeled in precisely defined formats to limit risks related to transportation and processes. These standards are established and monitored by the European Chemicals Agency. In the past, thermal transfer printers could be used to meet label requirements for chemical products. However, rules updated in 2015 introduced the requirement for multi-color printing.

Sample-Specific Labels

Epson meets European regulations through label solutions it provides to organizations in the chemical sector. Organizations using Epson color label printers not only comply with legal requirements but also gain process efficiency. In most cases, color label printers help companies transition to a single-step printing process that increases flexibility and saves time. Businesses can produce labels on demand without maintaining inventory for each different product, unaffected by regulatory changes. Moreover, it becomes possible to produce different labels for different distributors, or special labels for exports or custom sample products. Germany-based global aroma giant Symrise gained flexibility in labeling through its collaboration with Epson. Symrise, with nearly 10,000 employees, supplies over 30,000 products to more than 6,000 customers. While Epson provides label solutions to leading institutions in Turkey, it also works with organizations requiring boutique or specialized labeling. The Symrise example demonstrates that Epson ColorWorks printers can deliver state-of-the-art label printing solutions to leading chemical companies.

How Does It Provide Advantages?

Before Epson, organizations' printing processes relied on two steps. First, pre-printed labels were sourced from certain suppliers. As a next step, thermal transfer printers were used to apply variable data. However, the quantity of pre-printed labels was not always equal to the number of products. Additionally, keeping pre-printed labels in stock created high costs. Long lead times for labels slowed down processes. Epson's ColorWorks C6500 Series color label printers address this entire process in a single step. Manufacturers now have the ability to produce labels in exact quantities and at precise times, rather than ordering pre-printed labels.

Rules May Tighten in Europe

Label requirements in Europe tend to become stricter. This means more companies will need to implement color label printing solutions. Epson continues to advance the sector as one of the chemical industry's most important solution partners with its ColorWorks series. The Epson ColorWorks color label printer series can meet the needs of manufacturers for nearly all products in the chemical sector. Manufacturers can apply their own brand and label within minutes. It becomes possible to produce labels with different durability or adhesion levels for barrels, cans, and many other applications. Companies can even prepare posters and notices for applications needed for different purposes within their organization. They can apply promotions, coupons, and advertising applications to products or boxes. Epson ColorWorks C6500 Series meets the needs of small and medium-sized customers from many sectors (food, chemical, beverage, manufacturing, etc.).   Ahmet Gürle Channel Manager Corporate Solutions Turkey Epson
