LabelMaster Manufacturing Facility

North America's Leading Hazmat Labeling Manufacturer

Founded in 1983 in Chicago, Illinois, LabelMaster began as a small print shop specializing in dangerous goods labels for local chemical distributors. Today, we're North America's largest provider of hazmat compliance solutions, serving over 8,400 customers across 47 countries.

Our 127,000 sq ft Chicago manufacturing facility produces 47 million labels annually—from standard DOT Class 1-9 hazard labels to custom GHS chemical labels and specialized lithium battery markings. Every product undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure regulatory compliance and field durability.

What distinguishes us isn't just manufacturing capacity—it's our team of 14 full-time regulatory experts who monitor DOT, IATA, ICAO, IMO, and TDG regulation changes daily. When the DOT published 87 amendments in the HM-215N rulemaking (effective January 1, 2025), our customers received updated label specifications within 48 hours. That's the LabelMaster difference.
