Labelling Solution
For the Pharmaceutical Industry
Implementing a labelling solution for the pharmaceutical industry can
become a logistical nightmare.
Between complex regulatory guidelines and diversified markets and
medications, it is a necessity to ensure safe drug administration for
healthcare providers and consumers.
Labelling is one of the most crucial factors that determines the safety and
integrity of a pharma product. The main purpose of a label is to make
identification of the product clear and unambiguous. There are many
regulations to adhere to but the most basic yet important information is
what is printed on the label, which includes:
Manufacturing date
Expiry date
Number of doses
Composition
Barcodes
There are many factors to consider when implementing a pharmaceutical
labelling solution.
When a pharmaceutical company contacts ADC about a possible labelling
solution, we begin by conducting an onsite survey. This is a general walk
through of the company, where we access and critique the current practises,
and discuss what the company is hoping to achieve.
There are three main areas that we focus throughout the walkthrough is
Labels & Ribbons, Hardware, and Software.
It is a long established fact that
a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking
at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less
normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content
here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing
packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model
text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their
infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by
accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Labels & Ribbons
ADC Barcode manufactures and supplies a wide range
of specialised pharmaceutical labels. These include but
are not limited to; tamper evident labels, hologram
labels, temperature indicator labels, temperature
resistant labels, anti-counterfeit labels, and peel and
reveal labels, Braille labels, and track and trace labels.
We also manufacture and supply a wide variety of
chemical, liquid and temperature resistant ink ribbon.
Once we have determined the application and quantity
of the labels and ribbons needs we can ensure a fast
turnaround time.
Hardware
For hardware, we will assess what kind of printer is necessary based on the
number of labels printed per day and the quality of print needed.
It may also be a case that an applicator is needed or verification equipment.
Software:
We create software solutions that are fully customisable to the customers’
needs. Once we understand the requirements of the company, we are able
to put together a bespoke solution.
Support
Our Service Engineers are highly skilled and trained, and
ensure that installations are as seamless and as fast as
possible to limit the amount of production downtime.
We provide in-depth onsite training once the
installation is complete, to get all staff to grips with the
new software, which provides ease of integration.
