Durable and Compliance Labeling;Product Support Documentation

UL RECOGNIZED | CSA/ULC ACCEPTED | GHS COMPLIANCE | INSTRUCTION MANUALS

Why Durable and Compliance Labeling and Product Support Documentation from WS Packaging Group?

Supporting Product ComplianceCompliance standards clearly define label requirements for specific uses, including products and their intended environments. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is the recognized leader in product safety testing and certification in the United States and globally. UL requires specific combinations of materials, inks, coatings, and adhesives to meet exact performance requirements on certain products, under certain conditions.

WS Packaging Group is the only single-source manufacturer of durable- and compliance-related labels and printed product documentation serving OEMs. And with over 100 label constructions that conform to UL standards, we make it easy and cost-effective for OEMs to provide the detailed consumer or user information their products require.

Products sold outside the U.S. may require a mark from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA International), UL of Canada (ULC), or the CE (compliance with EU legislation) mark certification. WS Packaging is a CSA, ULC, and CE-recognized supplier. Our CSA, ULC, and CE recognitions ensure your pre-printed labels will meet product and environmental demands, along with regulatory requirements, in and outside North America.

UL-Recognized Materials As an UL-authorized label supplier, our manufacturing facilities are subject to unannounced inspections four times annually, and samples are randomly pulled from our production lines for testing. Our UL-certified constructions ensure your label components are the best solution for the intended use, even those requiring chemical, fuel, and water interaction, cryogenic freezing, extreme heat, and other rigorous environments.

Harsh-Environment Labels We meet UL standards as needed with materials, coatings, and adhesives matched to the application.

Because you need a full range of solutions for printed products that perform in the most demanding of conditions from the most experienced single-source provider in the industry. When labels, decals, product identification, usage instructions, and instrument panel overlays have to withstand exposure in harsh environments for an extended period of time, your printed products have to reliably perform.

From 2.75" x 2.75" to 8.5" x 11" and 8 pages to 160 pages, we balance high-volume offset quantities with low-volume digitally produced parts that can be printed and bound within minutes via our industry-leading production value streams. The goal is to eliminate obsolescence by providing printed materials on an as-needed basis. Regardless of the print method, quality is exceptional and delivery is guaranteed. Documents Include:

• Owner's manuals

• Instructions-/Directions-for-Use booklets

• Parts lists/layouts

• Technical training manuals

• Assembly instructions.

Durable and Compliance Labels, Decals, and Rating Plates WS Packaging is an ISO 9001/2008 certified manufacturer of pressure-sensitive durable and compliance labels, decals, and rating plates. Production capabilities include:

• Paper, vinyl, polyester, synthetics, and specialty materials

• Agency approvals from UL, ULC, CSA, American Gas Association (AGA), Canadian Gas Association (CGA), and CE

• Streamlined compliance testing and certification support with our in-house UL lab

• GHS implementation and compliance support • Just-in-time Kanban stocking programs

• Serialized ID and validated rating plates/tags and labels, serialized and validated carton labels, and serialized warranty cards—all with immediate barcode and serial number integrity verification.

Printing Technologies: From just hundreds to millions, our manufacturing flexibility ensures the most appropriate and cost-effective print method is matched to the specific application demand.

Digital Printing: We use digital technology to produce highly durable, UL-compliant labels, decals, and rating and serial plates, as well as emblems for applications requiring exposure to harsh environments. Our digital products also provide unparalleled production flexibility, lead-time reduction, and overall cost-effectiveness.

High-Speed Laser Die Cutting: This technology eliminates the cost of cutting dies from many print jobs. The high-speed operation can be used on a variety of materials, including specialized label stocks, foams, gasket materials, and plastics.

Dome Labels: Dome labels are the perfect way to differentiate your brand from the competition, enhance your image, and give your logo or graphics a more up-scale, appealing look. The clear polyurethane coating is extremely durable, UV and chemical resistant, and self-healing, so it does not permanently scratch or dent.

Variable Printing/Support Services

Thermal Transfer Ribbon

We have developed products and standard operating procedures to ensure the highest level of product tracking integrity for data-critical applications. Every barcode and RFID tag we print is scanned, validated, and compared. Our system identifies missing numbers, numbers out of sequence, unreadable barcodes and tags, duplication within the batch, as well as duplication within the total history of the application.

Whether you need to match a ribbon to a basic paper shipping label or a complicated serialized polyester label, we have hundreds of ribbon formulations and sizes available that are UL, CSA, ULC, AGA, CGA, CE, and GHS/BS agency approved and ready for immediate shipment.
