Whether you're producing a feature film, television series, commercial or documentary, authenticity matters. From warehouse scenes and airport freight terminals to chemical facilities and emergency response incidents, small details can make the difference between a believable production and one that industry professionals immediately recognise as inaccurate.
At DG Solutions, we provide dangerous goods props, packaging and technical guidance to help productions accurately represent the transport and storage of hazardous substances.
Authentic Dangerous Goods Props
We can supply genuine or replica dangerous goods items suitable for production use, including:
- UN specification fibreboard cartons
- Steel and plastic UN drums
- Hazard labels covering all nine dangerous goods classes
- Lithium battery marks
- Cargo Aircraft Only labels
- Limited Quantity and Excepted Quantity markings
- Orientation arrows
- Marine pollutant marks
- Overpack labels
- UN number markings
- Placards for vehicles and freight containers
- Packaging accessories used in dangerous goods transport
These items help create realistic freight terminals, warehouses, laboratories, shipping docks, airport cargo facilities and industrial environments.
Technical Accuracy Matters
Many productions unintentionally display incorrect dangerous goods labels, incompatible packaging or unrealistic shipping practices.
DG Solutions can provide technical advice on:
- Which labels would actually appear on a shipment
- Correct package markings
- Appropriate packaging for different dangerous goods
- Warehouse storage layouts
- Freight forwarding and airline cargo procedures
- Emergency response equipment
- Dangerous goods documentation used in transport
- Industry terminology and operational practices
Our goal is to help productions create scenes that are accurate while remaining practical for filming.
Why Accuracy Is Important
Viewers with experience in aviation, logistics, emergency services, chemical manufacturing and dangerous goods transport quickly notice unrealistic details.
Using authentic packaging, labels and procedures helps improve credibility and creates a more immersive experience for audiences.

We can work directly with:
- Production designers
- Art departments
- Set decorators
- Props departments
- Special effects teams
- Location managers
- Script consultants
Whether you need a single hazardous materials package for a close-up shot or an entire warehouse dressed with realistic dangerous goods freight, we can help source suitable props and provide technical guidance throughout production.
