Undeniably, regulatory compliance is a principal driver in package labeling, for industrial and consumer products that are manufactured, distributed, sold and consumed in the United States. At every level of jurisdiction, state, federal and international, the regulatory landscape is constantly changing. Labels must be continually scrutinized to ensure they are in compliance with the latest standards and regulations. It seems that every month, even every week, we learn about new laws and regulations that will force companies to modify their labels in order to ensure they remain in compliance. In short, label content is subject to frequent change due to today’s volatile regulatory environment.
A major force behind regulatory compliance is safety, and labeling is a critical pathway for safety messaging that conveys the information needed to inform and protect stakeholders throughout a product’s value chain. Every company is concerned with product safety and the safety of both employees and end-use customers during every phase of use of their products.
As new regulations and standards are implemented and existing ones are modified, the burden of promoting and ensuring safety and compliance increasingly becomes more challenging. A company’s ability to respond quickly to the shifting regulatory environment by changing and re-deploying their labels in production, without disruption, is key to both the safety of their stakeholders and the stability of their business. More and more companies are discovering the advantages of digital, in-plant, on-demand label printing as a tool to mitigate the risk of non-compliance and even worse, compromising safety.
Digital, in-plant, on-demand label printing solutions give companies the freedom to manage and control their labeling process rather than the labeling process managing them. With faster turnaround, less waste, increased efficiency and lower costs, these solutions make regulatory compliance much more manageable and productive. They also greatly reduce the level of difficulty involved in changing label content and re-deploying changed labels into production, without disruption. If you are interested in:
