Labels with tactile markings for the chemical industry. Embossed markings (embossing and debossing) on the Frankini DIE ROLL DMR machine, a tactile warning triangle per the EU CLP Regulation and the ISO 11683 standard. Raised and recessed markings that blind and visually impaired users can recognize by touch, while manufacturers meet the legal requirement for labeling hazardous substances.
A raised equilateral triangle (16-20 mm) per ISO 11683, mandatory on all hazardous chemical products sold to the general public. The embossed height is 0.25-0.5 mm above the label surface.
An electromechanical machine for precise embossed markings on roll-fed labels. Embossing (raised) and debossing (recessed) with controlled depth and detail sharpness across the full run.
Detergents, cleaning agents, pesticides, paints and varnishes, industrial chemicals, nicotine e-cigarettes. Any product classified as hazardous under CLP must carry a tactile marking.
The tactile triangle is integrated directly into the printed label along with GHS pictograms and H and P statements. One label, full compliance, with no separate tactile sticker to apply afterward.
The EU CLP Regulation (Regulation EC 1272/2008) requires all chemical products classified as hazardous and intended for sale to the general public to carry a tactile warning marking. A raised triangle that blind and visually impaired users recognize by touch, warning them that they are handling a hazardous product.
The tactile warning triangle (TWD, Tactile Warning of Danger) is mandatory on all chemical products for general sale that are classified as acutely toxic, corrosive, flammable, mutagenic, carcinogenic, or toxic to reproduction. The ISO 11683 standard precisely defines the shape, dimensions, embossed height, and position on the packaging. Non-compliance results in a ban on sale in the EU market.
The manufacturer classifies the chemical product under the CLP Regulation. If the product is classified under acute toxicity (H300-H312), corrosivity (H314), flammability (H224, H225, H228), mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, or reproductive toxicity, the tactile marking is mandatory on every package intended for general sale.
A raised equilateral triangle inside a frame: the standard size is 16-20 mm per side, frame thickness 1.5-1.9 mm, embossed height 0.25-0.5 mm above the surface. A reduced variant exists for smaller packages: 8-10 mm per side, 0.8-1.2 mm frame. The triangle's corners must be as sharp as possible to be recognizable by touch.
On packaging with a base (bottles, canisters), the triangle must be on an upright handling surface, close to the edge, with its apex within 50 mm of the bottom of the package. On tubes and cartridges, the position is on the shoulder around the opening. On aerosols, next to where the finger is placed to activate the spray. It must be recognizable by touch without being confused with other embossed elements.
The material is raised upward, detectable by touch
A rotary tool on the Frankini DIE ROLL DMR machine raises the label material upward and forms a raised surface. This is the required technique for the tactile warning triangle per ISO 11683, since the customer must be able to feel the embossing by touch. The height of the raised area is precisely controlled per the standard's requirements (0.25-0.5 mm). Works on both paper and synthetic materials.
The material is pressed downward, for a sophisticated look
A tool on the Frankini DMR presses the material downward and forms a recessed surface. It looks sophisticated and discreet since the embossing does not rise above the label. Used for decorative elements on premium labels: a debossed logo, text, frame, or graphic motif. Can be combined with hot foil stamping for a 3D effect, where the foil settles into the recess and enhances contrast.
Not sure whether your product requires a tactile marking? Tell us your product's CLP classification (the H and P statements from the safety data sheet). We will check whether the tactile triangle is mandatory, propose a position on the label per ISO 11683, and integrate the embossing into the printed label together with complete GHS labeling in a single step.
In the chemical industry, a label is not just a declaration, it is a legally defined safety measure. The EU CLP Regulation requires every package containing a hazardous substance intended for general sale to carry a tactile warning triangle, GHS pictograms, a signal word (danger or warning), H hazard statements, and P precautionary statements. All of this must be on a single label, legible, durable, and compliant with the regulation.
On the Frankini DIE ROLL DMR machine, the tactile triangle is formed as an integral part of the printed label. There is no need to apply a separate tactile sticker afterward, which simplifies the process on your filling line and reduces the risk of a missed marking.
Plant protection products are among the most strictly regulated products on the market. In addition to the CLP requirement for a tactile triangle, these products require specific regulatory information for every export country: registration number, active substance, application dose, pre-harvest interval, operator protection measures. For export products, all of this appears in multiple languages on the same label.
The Frankini DIE ROLL DMR Elettromeccanica is a machine specialized for rotary embossing and debossing on self-adhesive roll-fed labels. It works as a separate operation after flexo printing: the label unwinds from the roll, passes through the embossing station, the relief is formed by precise pressure between two rotary tools, and it winds back onto the roll, ready for delivery or further finishing.
Many manufacturers still use two separate elements today: a printed label with GHS markings and a separate transparent sticker with a tactile triangle applied afterward. This approach slows down the filling line, increases the risk of a missed application (a label without a triangle means non-compliance), and requires two suppliers. An integrated approach solves everything in a single step.
The tactile triangle is the only element of a label that does not communicate visually. Its function is checked with the fingers: in a dark cabinet, without glasses, in a situation where the customer is not reading the declaration. Because of this, the quality of the embossing is hard to convey through a photograph, since a depth of three tenths of a millimeter barely exists in a static image.
The video below supplements the technical description on this page. What does not show in a photograph becomes clear as the light angle changes and the label is in motion.
Odgovori na pitanja koja nam proizvođači hemikalija, kućne hemije i agrohemijskih proizvoda najčešće postavljaju o taktilnim oznakama, EU CLP regulativi i reljefnom žigu.
Svi hemijski proizvodi namenjeni opštoj prodaji koji su klasifikovani kao akutno toksični (kategorije 1-4, oznake H300-H312), korozivni (H314), zapaljivi (H224, H225, H228), mutageni, karcinogeni, toksični za reprodukciju ili štetni za aspiraciju moraju imati taktilnu oznaku upozorenja. U praksi to znači deterdženti, sredstva za čišćenje, boje i lakovi, pesticidi, rastvarači, e-cigarete sa nikotinom i sve druge opasne materije za maloprodaju. Obaveza važi za svako pakovanje, bez obzira na zapreminu.
Proizvod koji je klasifikovan kao opasan po CLP regulativi, a nema taktilnu oznaku upozorenja, nije usklađen sa zakonom i podleže zabrani prodaje na tržištu EU. Inspekcija može povući proizvod sa polica, izreći novčane kazne proizvođaču ili uvozniku i zahtevati povlačenje celokupne serije. Troškovi povlačenja, pretiketiranja i ponovnog stavljanja na tržište su višestruko veći od troškova pravilnog obeležavanja u fazi proizvodnje etiketa.
Da. ISO 11683 zahteva da taktilna oznaka ostane prepoznatljiva dodirom tokom celog očekivanog perioda upotrebe pakovanja u normalnim uslovima rukovanja. To znači da reljef ne sme da se izravna, izliza ili postane neprepoznatljiv usled skladištenja, transporta ili svakodnevne upotrebe. Na Frankini DMR mašini se dubina reljefa kontroliše tako da bude dovoljno izražena za trajnost, a izbor materijala (debljina, elastičnost) igra ključnu ulogu u zadržavanju oblika reljefa kroz vreme.
Standardna veličina je jednakostranični trougao u okviru sa stranicom 16-20 mm i debljinom okvira 1.5-1.9 mm. Visina reljefa mora biti 0.25-0.5 mm iznad površine etikete. Uglovi trougla moraju biti što oštriji da bi bili taktilno prepoznatljivi. Za manja pakovanja gde standardni trougao ne staje, postoji smanjena varijanta sa stranicom 8-10 mm i okvirom 0.8-1.2 mm. Alternativno, tri ispupčene tačke u obliku trougla.
Na pakovanjima sa bazom (boce, kanisteri), trougao mora biti na uspravnoj površini za rukovanje, blizu ivice, sa vrhom unutar 50 mm od dna pakovanja. Na tubama i kertridžima pozicija je na ramenu oko otvora tube. Na aerosolima pored mesta gde se prst postavlja za aktiviranje spreja. Trougao ne sme biti u zoni gde drugi reljefni elementi (šrafura, logo u reljefu) mogu izazvati zabunu kod slepog ili slabovidog korisnika.
Embossing podiže materijal etikete prema gore i formira ispupčenu površinu koju kupac oseća dodirom. To je obavezan smer za taktilni trougao upozorenja po ISO 11683, jer oznaka mora biti taktilno prepoznatljiva. Debossing utiskuje materijal prema dole i formira udubljenu površinu sa sofisticiranim, diskretnim izgledom. Debossing se koristi za dekorativne elemente na premium etiketama (blindruk) i može se kombinovati sa zlatotiskom za 3D efekat gde folija ulazi u udubljenje.
Reljefni žig se radi na Frankini DIE ROLL DMR Elettromeccanica mašini, specijalizovanoj za rotacioni embossing i debossing na samolepljivim etiketama iz rolne. Rotacioni princip (cilindrični alati koji se rotiraju zajedno sa trakom etiketa) obezbeđuje konstantan pritisak i dubinu reljefa na svakoj etiketi u tiraži, bez varijacija koje se javljaju kod flatbed metode. Dubina reljefa se precizno kontroliše podešavanjem razmaka između dva cilindra.
Da. Na istoj etiketi se mogu kombinovati flekso štampa sa GHS piktogramima (MPS mašina), UV lak za zaštitu otiska od habanja i hemikalija (inline na MPS), zlatotisak za brend akcentne detalje (hot foil ili cold foil na MPS) i embossing za taktilni trougao (Frankini DMR kao poslednja operacija). Tri tehnike dorade na jednoj etiketi, svaka sa svojom funkcijom: zaštita otiska, brending i regulatorna usklađenost.
Može i jedno i drugo, ali integracija u grafičku etiketu je preporučljiva. Zasebni transparentni stiker zahteva drugu rolnu, drugi aplikator na liniji ili ručno lepljenje, i povećava rizik da etiketa ode na proizvod bez trougla. Sa integrisanim pristupom, na Frankini DMR mašini formiramo reljefni trougao direktno na grafičkoj etiketi koja već sadrži GHS piktograme, H i P oznake i brend dizajn. Svaka etiketa u rolni već ima trougao, nula rizika od propuštanja.
