Reliance Label Solutions, a label converter on Paola, KS, USA that specializes in manufacturing hazardous container labels for the petroleum, chemical and environmental industries, has equipped a prominent Canada-based energy company with a centralized solution for versioning-capable on-demand labeling for a broad range of products. The system comprises a tailored iteration of Reliance’s Vision GHS Labeling Software, which is serving to streamline, safeguard and simplify labeling operations throughout the energy company’s multi-location organization.

Vision GHS enables companies whose products contain hazardous materials to organize and select the vital information their labels must include. The secure, cloud-based software utilizes on-demand distributed label printing functionality, with centralized content and user controls enabling production of customizable, high quality GHS labels. To meet a broad range of GHS labeling needs, Reliance Label Solutions offers three editions of the software: Vision Express®, Vision Pro and Vision Enterprise.

Vision GHS is providing several efficiency-minded, resource-sparing benefits for the energy company. By allowing blank labels to be printed on-demand – in color, with varying logos, branding and OSHA compliance pictograms – the software has helped consolidate the company’s labeling stock for improved internal warehousing and workflow. Combined with the software’s standardization and centralization elements, the result is an “upstreamization” of labeling practices that makes the entire process simpler from inception.

This centralization yields another key attribute: accessibility. With Vision GHS, the energy company now enjoys a reliable and structured platform from which each of its plants, partners and selected third-party vendors can create tailored, product-appropriate labels. The setup also allows for intuitive categorization and content consolidation; for example, easy delineation between labels requiring distinctions like Transportation Dangerous Goods (TDG) and WHMIS. The system also lets the energy company limit access for various label types to only relevant parties, a gatekeeping feature that heightens security and quality control.

For the energy company, the benefits of engaging Reliance Label Solutions as its singular labels, software and printing system vendor has become a foundation for seamless labeling redesign, allowing for more aesthetically pleasing labels that remain squarely within compliance and specifications parameters. In the near future, the energy company also plans to incorporate the Vision® GHS system’s metrics gathering and reporting capabilities into its labeling operations.
