Drum, Vessel & Tank Marking

Drums, vessels and tanks are used to store various types of fuels, raw materials and chemicals including oil, gas, dry goods, liquids, and solvents.

OSHA requires that tanks and drums holding hazardous materials display a hazard warning label at all times.

Unlabeled tanks and drums may lead to hazardous environmental spills that could contaminate groundwater and surface water. Unmarked tanks and drums also increase the threat of hazardous exposure for industrial personnel who come into contact with them.

The Department of Transportation requires that chemical shippers place labels on drums that identify hazards of the content. OSHA states that DOT's requirements may be combined with right-to-know data to produce one fully-compliant drum label.

When you want clear, effective communication, you want DuraLabel.

For RTK labeling, DuraLabel has standard 4" x 6" labels AND Super-Size 8.8 " x 12.8" RTK labels to provide maximum visibility for tanks, vessels and drums. Super-Size labels are only available for the DuraLabel 7000 and DuraLabel 9000 label printers. At more than double the size of standard 4" x 6" labels, workers can recognize the hazards of tank and drum contents at a distance that is far beyond exposure to the hazard.

DuraLabel RTK labels are available in two styles, NFPA Diamond and Color Bar, in a wide range of smaller sizes, in addition to the 4" x 6" and larger labels.

DuraLabel PRO 300 and larger printers come with database software for creating, tracking and printing RTK labels.

DuraLabel has the solution for your difficult label applications

The large surface areas of tanks, drums and vessels are better marked by larger labels. Big labels can be seen from longer distances and appear more prominently on large applications. However, big labels can be difficult to apply evenly and without wrinkles or bubbles.

Improve your tank labeling with DuraLabel's EZ-ON Application Kit. This proprietary solution delays label adhesion so you can properly position and apply your labels for optimal quality and strength. Drum and tank labeling is critical for facility safety, so properly applying your labels should be critical as well.
