Schreiner MediPharm will showcase innovative marking solutions with value-added benefits at Pharmapack 2012 in Paris from February 15 to 16.

This year, Schreiner MediPharm’s line-up features the Pharma-Comb Void Label for tamper-proof marking of original containers, the Needle-Trap needle protection system with detachable label parts for efficient documentation and multi-functional labels for autoinjectors: three innovative product developments that address the needs of manufacturers, healthcare staff and patients alike.

Pharma-Comb Void Label prevents unauthorized re-use of vials Schreiner MediPharm has developed the Pharma-Comb Void Label to counteract illegal trading of empty glass containers for pharmaceuticals after their disposal. The multi-part product label clearly shows an integrated, covert inscription when opening the vial, and is destroyed when the vial is used for the first time. To open the vial, the user pulls off the tear strip that also wraps around the closure cap, which causes the words “Opened” and “Used” to appear in two indicator fields. This prevents the undetected re-filling of original containers with ineffective substitutes that could pose a health risk to patients.
Efficient documentation thanks to Needle-Trap with detachable parts The proven, multi-award winning Needle-Trap needle protection system by Schreiner MediPharm helps prevent accidental needlestick injuries. The label now features new integrated label parts allowing easy documentation of the injection that has been administered to the patient. The label parts can be detached individually and transferred directly to the patient’s medical records or vaccination card. This solution allows processes in hospitals or doctor’s offices to not only be made safer but also leaner and more transparent.
More comfort and safety for users of autoinjectors The specialty labels for autoinjectors by Schreiner MediPharm now offer even higher patient safety and ease of use for self-medication. In addition to marking, the labels deliver other key functionalities: proof-of-first-opening as tamper evidence by means of a perforation on the specialty label that makes undetected re-closing impossible, fill level and contents check through an integrated transparent window plus a non-slip texture for better grip and handling safety. Thanks to the special material properties the label snugly fits the shape of the autoinjector and reliably adheres to the plastic surface. In addition, this multi-functional label solution can be customized to perfectly meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
