In my experience a safety label needs to be controlled: label
material, inks, adhesives and manufactured by an approved label shop or
in-house label printing machines which are approved for the purpose.
This may sound rather extreme, but I have personally witnessed several
companies who simply make paper labels on a laser jet printer and call
it good enough. There are some good reasons for this level of scrutiny.
Durability of printing can be assured by 'second surface printing', i.e.
printing in reverse on the back of transparent label material. It
doesn't seem difficult to find adhesives that allow such labels to meet
the temperature, humidity and chemical resistance requirements.
