Labelmaster Celebrates 40 Years As A Regulatory Compliance Industry Leader


CHICAGO, ILLINOIS-(February 1, 2007)- Labelmaster(R), a U.S.-based manufacturer of regulatory and hazardous materials compliance products, has been in the business of helping customers understand and comply with industry standards and requirements since 1967. The year of the company's inception is also the year that Congress authorized the Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) to enact the first federal regulations governing the transportation of hazardous materials. By the 1970s, any business that shipped hazardous materials was required to package it in a specified way, and to identify the contents, both on the package and on the truck or railcar carrying it.

Labelmaster developed the first hazardous waste label, as the company focused its efforts on producing products in compliance with the strict, new government specifications. The label design has been adopted as the standard for markings on all hazardous waste shipments.
