Challenge

Chemtrade Logistics, a chemical manufacturer and distributor specializing in water treatment chemicals, faced inefficiencies in its labeling process. The company relied on external providers for pipe markers, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and GHS labels, and equipment signage, leading to delays when urgent labels were needed.

Results

By implementing DuraLabel’s industrial labeling solutions, Chemtrade Logistics brought labeling in-house, reducing downtime while enhancing efficiency. The facility enabled on-demand printing for pipe markers, compliance labels, and equipment signage, improving responsiveness and accuracy. This shift enhanced workplace safety and ensured regulatory compliance.

Chemtrade Logistics is a leading manufacturer and distributor of water treatment chemicals. The company operates in a highly regulated industrial environment with an extensive network of piping, tanks, and reactors that require clear, durable labeling to ensure efficiency, compliance, and safety. Nathan Winchester, an experienced Operations Manager, oversees the labeling process, ensuring regulatory compliance while improving operational efficiency. 

The Challenge

Before adopting DuraLabel’s solutions, Chemtrade Logistics depended on third-party providers for essential labels, including pipe markers, WHMIS and GHS labels, danger tags, and equipment signage. This reliance led to long lead times and inefficiencies, particularly when a single label was urgently needed. The company needed a dependable, cost-effective, and user-friendly solution to produce high-quality, long-lasting labels in-house—eliminating delays and reducing costs.

  • Print Labels On-Demand for Critical Applications: Instantly produce compliance labels, pipe markers, WHMIS and GHS labels, and danger tags, eliminating wait times. 
  • Ensure Compliance and Workplace Safety: Custom labels meet industry regulations, providing clear hazard communication for workers and inspectors. 
  • Enhance Label Longevity: Durable, high-quality materials withstand harsh industrial conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements. 
  • Reduce Reliance on External Providers: Bringing labeling in-house freed staff to focus on higher-priority tasks, optimizing productivity. 
  • Customize Labels for a Variety of Needs: From shipping container markings to doorway signs, Chemtrade Logistics can now create tailored labels for different applications. 

"Not having to order multiples and just print when needed saves a lot of time rather than having to wait on shipments." – Nathan Winchester

Since implementing DuraLabel’s industrial labeling solutions, Chemtrade Logistics has experienced significant improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and regulatory compliance. The company eliminated outsourcing delays by printing labels on demand, ensuring clear, consistent, and durable signage throughout the facility. 

With long-lasting, compliant labels, Chemtrade Logistics has improved workplace safety and optimized operations, allowing staff to focus on higher-priority tasks.
