Standard Register Becomes First to Achieve Underwriters Laboratories (UL) In-Mold Labeling Certification

Business Wire
Standard Register (NYSE:SR), a leader in the management and
execution of mission-critical communications, is the first company
to be certified under a new Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
certification program for In-Mold Labeling (IML).
As an expansion of UL Marking and Labeling Systems Certification
offerings, the IML program was designed to support label
manufacturers, including Standard Register, who develop durable,
flexible and permanent in-mold labels that display safety-related
information on UL certified products. In-mold labeling has been
used for years to decorate and provide information on various
consumer products sold in plastic containers, including food,
cosmetics and cleaning supplies. To accommodate the use of IMLs on
durable goods submitted for certification, UL developed a Marking
and Labeling System program specifically for IMLs.
“The Standard Register Company is trusted by the world’s leading
companies to advance their reputations by aligning their
communications with corporate standards and priorities,” said Steve
McDonell, vice president, Engineering and Sustainability for
Standard Register. “By participating in this new program Standard
Register demonstrates its commitment to help our customers
communicate warning information and provide durable and attractive
additions to their products using in-mold labels that meet UL
rigorous permanence of marking requirements.”
Standard Register offers labeling and decorating solutions
through its next generation IML technology, such as its Grafilm®
In-Mold Labeling System, a patented family of products that
mechanically bonds a label to the substrate, rather than
traditional chemical bond, allowing to conformability to irregular
product surfaces, meeting UL precise requirements.
To receive certification, Standard Register was evaluated in
accordance with the same safety standards used to evaluate
pressure-sensitive labels, including the Standard for Marking &
Labeling Systems, UL 969 and the CSA Standard for Adhesive Labels,
C22.2 No. 0.15.
“At UL, we understand how important it is to convey critical
safety information to consumers, and for over four decades we have
been working with label manufacturers to test and certify their
labels for safe use. As new label types have come to market, UL has
developed new programs to ensure that safety marking on products
continue to comply with applicable performance requirements,” said
Manish Bhatnagar, VP and GM, UL Global Chemicals Industry. “As a
result we are excited to announce our new In-mold Label Testing
Program, and are pleased to have Standard Register be the first
customer to meet these new requirements.”
