GHS Label Generator
Printable, regulation-compliant GHS labels for secondary containers, 8 sizes, print-ready.
How to use this tool
Build a print-ready GHS hazard label for a secondary container: a bottle or beaker you have decanted a chemical into. Fill the fields (or auto-fill from PubChem first), watch the live preview on the right, then print.
What to enter
- Auto-fill from PubChem (optional), type a name or CAS number and click Look up to pull the published signal word, pictograms and H-statements as a starting point. Every field stays editable.
- Product name: what is in the container.
- Signal word: Danger for severe hazards, Warning for less severe. The Safety Data Sheet (Section 2) tells you which.
- Pictograms: click each red-diamond symbol that applies (flammable, corrosive, toxic, and so on).
- Hazard (H) and Precautionary (P) statements: type one per line, or tap a + H… / + P… chip to add a common one.
- Supplier / contact: your lab or company name and phone number.
Reading the result
The right-hand panel is a live preview of the printed label. Click Print label to open a print-ready page. This is a workplace secondary-container label, not a shipping or supplier label, always cross-check every H and P code against the current SDS (Section 2) before printing.
Worked example
Type acetone and click Look up: the Danger signal word and the flammable pictogram fill in. Add your supplier line, review against the SDS, then Print label.

About GHS labels
The Globally Harmonized System uses nine red-bordered pictograms, one of two signal words (Danger for severe hazards, Warning for less severe), hazard (H) statements and precautionary (P) statements. The preview and print-out use the official UN GHS pictogram artwork (public domain), so the symbols on your label match the regulation exactly. This generator builds a workplace secondary-container label. Use Auto-fill from PubChem to pull a named substance's published signal word, pictograms and H-statements as a starting point, then edit every field. For shipping and primary supplier labels, transcribe statements from the substance's Safety Data Sheet (Section 2).
