The safe labeling of hazardous goods transports and storage areas is an essential safety measure in logistics. Incorrect or improper labeling of hazardous substances can have serious consequences for people and the environment. BOXLAB PE signs offer a legally compliant, sustainable and efficient solution for hazardous goods labeling in road, rail and sea transport.





Our PE plates made of high-quality polyethylene (PE) are specially developed for demanding conditions and enable the safe, residue-free application of hazardous goods labels. Thanks to their weather resistance, chemical resistance and durability, they offer a superior alternative to conventional solutions such as metal plates or direct labeling.
Why BOXLAB PE boards?
1. Residue-free label removal
Thanks to special material properties, BOXLAB labels can be removed effortlessly and without leaving any adhesive residue. This allows for quick and efficient relabeling without additional cleaning effort.
2. Maximum longevity and resistance
Our boards are UV-resistant, chemical-resistant and temperature-stable, which means they can be used reliably even under extreme conditions.
3. Lightweight and easy to handle
Compared to metal panels, PE panels are significantly lighter and make assembly and transport much easier.
4. Sustainability through 100% recyclability
Our PE boards are fully recyclable, making them an eco-friendly choice for sustainable businesses.
5. Protection for your transport containers
BOXLAB PE panels prevent damage to containers and vehicles and thus contribute to the longevity of your means of transport.
6. Certified security
BOXLAB PE panels are seawater certified to BS 5609 Section III, ensuring long-term label adhesion in even the most extreme conditions.
7. Process optimization
The standardized size and easy handling significantly reduce labeling time and costs.

Labeling errors: an often underestimated risk
Many retailers underestimate the importance of correct labeling. Common problems arise from:
- Missing labeling: This is a clear violation of legal regulations.
- Incorrect label formats or layouts: Labels that do not meet applicable standards (e.g. incorrect size, inappropriate colors or symbols) may also be subject to complaint. Incorrect labeling is legally assessed in the same way as completely missing labeling.
- Illegible or damaged labels: These can also be considered inadmissible and mean that the dangerous goods may not be transported.







Consequences of violations
- Fines: These apply not only for missing labeling, but also for incorrect labeling.
- Legal liability: Incorrect labeling can lead to accidents for which the dealer will be held liable.
- Loss of image: Such mistakes can permanently damage customer trust.
