Case Study: Specialty Chemical Manufacturer achieves cost-effective, GHS-compliant labeling with BarTender

Specialty chemical manufacturer achieves cost effective, GHS compliant labeling with BarTender

Specialty Chemical Manufacturing Company faced mounting pressure to meet GHS regulatory requirements while integrating labels from nine recent acquisitions. The company was burdened by an expensive, hard-to-use enterprise labeling system that relied on preprinted media, required operators to access multiple systems, and managed over 9,000 label formats—creating waste, user errors, and high per-print charges. To address this, the company selected BarTender (working with partner Adaptive Data Inc.) to replace the legacy solution.

Adaptive Data Inc. implemented a BarTender-based labeling system using BarTender’s Intelligent Templates™ and a centralized, forms-based interface to pull variable data from multiple sources and apply layered regulatory, product, and branding elements. The BarTender solution reduced label formats from more than 9,000 to 24, typically produces 2–4 labels per job on multiple devices, cut media waste and per-print fees, increased accuracy, and reduced new-SKU label creation to about five minutes—delivering scalable, measurable cost and time savings.
