Our Lab Packing Process

• Step 2: Packaging and labeling. Next, we’ll segregate groups of compatible chemicals, which will then go into our DOT-approved containers using compliant packaging materials. Each package will receive an appropriate label, and our team will prepare the transport manifest in adherence to DOT, EPA, and OSHA regulatory standards.
