If your business ships products into California, you already know the importance — and complexity — of staying compliant with Proposition 65. This regulation requires businesses to provide clear warnings about significant exposures to chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Failing to include this documentation with a shipment can result in legal penalties and damage to your brand’s reputation.
So how can you ensure that every shipment includes the required Prop 65 warning (alongside other key documents like packing slips and return instructions)? That’s where Multiplex™ from Chicago Tag & Label comes in.
What is Multiplex™?
Multiplex™ is our enclosed document label solution that combines your shipping label and critical shipment documents — including regulatory notices — in one secure, easy-to-apply format.
It looks like a standard shipping label on the outside, but peel it back, and you’ll find all necessary paperwork neatly enclosed:
- Packing list
- Return instructions
- Gift message
- And — critically — your Prop 65 compliance notice
How Multiplex Helps You Stay Compliant?
1. Auto-inclusion of Prop 65 documentation
Instead of relying on warehouse staff to manually insert compliance paperwork inside the box, Multiplex™ ensures it’s included automatically under the label — and always accessible to the recipient.
2. Eliminate human error
Manual collation is time-consuming and error-prone. With Multiplex™, documentation is printed and enclosed in a single automated process, dramatically reducing the risk of missed or forgotten compliance warnings.
3. Instant visibility
Regulations often require that notices are “clear and reasonable.” Multiplex™ places them in an easy-to-find location — right on the package exterior, under the shipping label — so you meet compliance without making your unboxing experience more complex.
4. Flexible customization
Need to include Prop 65 documentation only for certain shipments? No problem. Our solution can be configured to print and enclose documentation based on order location, product type, or SKU — keeping you agile and accurate.
A Smarter Way to Ship, A Safer Way to Comply
Whether you’re shipping electronics, apparel, beauty products, or anything else covered under Proposition 65, Multiplex™ takes the guesswork out of compliance. By combining efficiency, automation, and smart labeling, you can meet regulatory requirements without slowing down your operations.
Let’s simplify your packaging — and protect your brand at the same time.
