What are the precautions for the application of self-adhesive copperplate label paper in the pharmaceutical industry?

In the application of self-adhesive copper plate label paper in the pharmaceutical industry, the following key aspects need to be paid attention to to ensure the quality, safety and compliance of the label:

1. Material selection and safety

Material safety: The pharmaceutical industry has strict requirements for the safety of label materials, and it is necessary to select self-adhesive coated paper that meets the relevant safety standards. Ensure that the material is non-toxic, harmless, will not pollute the drug, and meet the environmental certification requirements such as ROHS.

Weather resistance: According to the storage and transportation conditions of the drug, select a self-adhesive label paper with appropriate weather resistance, such as low temperature, high temperature, water and oil resistance, to ensure the stability and readability of the label in different environments.

2. Printing process and clarity

Printability: Before printing, the self-adhesive coated paper should ensure high surface smoothness, tight fiber arrangement and uniform color. Choose ink with good fluidity and good drying performance to ensure clear printing effect and full ink color. For small text, it is recommended to use extra black ink to reduce smudging.

Printing accuracy: The information on the medical label is often accurate and important, so it is necessary to strictly control the number of dot lines, dot area rate and other parameters in the printing process to ensure the accurate reproduction of text, pattern and other content.

3. Content compliance

Information integrity: The pharmaceutical label must contain complete drug information, such as the generic name of the drug, indications, specifications, usage and dosage, production date, expiration date, etc. This information should be typeset and printed in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements to ensure that it is clearly visible.

Anti-counterfeiting measures: In order to prevent counterfeit and shoddy drugs, anti-counterfeiting elements can be added to the self-adhesive label, such as anti-counterfeiting patterns, two-dimensional codes, etc. These anti-counterfeiting measures need to be professionally designed and verified to ensure their effectiveness and reliability.

4. Paste performance and stability

Adhesive performance: The adhesive performance of the self-adhesive label directly affects its use effect. Select an appropriate type of glue based on the surface of packaging materials to ensure that labels are firmly attached and not easily peeled off.

Environmental adaptability: Considering the various environmental conditions that the drug may encounter (such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc.), choose a self-adhesive label paper and glue with appropriate environmental adaptability to ensure the stability and durability of the label in different environments.

5. Production process control

Quality control: In the production process, the quality standards of each link should be strictly controlled, such as raw material inspection, printing effect inspection, finished product quality inspection, etc. Ensure that the label of each batch meets the quality requirements.

Record and traceability: Establish a sound production record and quality traceability system, and record in detail the production process, inspection results, use destination of each batch of labels, so as to trace and query when necessary.

6. Regulatory compliance and certification

Regulatory compliance: The pharmaceutical industry is subject to strict regulatory supervision, and the production and use of self-adhesive labels must strictly comply with relevant regulatory requirements. For example, medical device labels must meet specific requirements such as UL certification.

Certification and inspection: Some special purpose self-adhesive labels (such as blood bag labels, infusion labels, etc.) need to pass specific quality certification and inspection procedures to ensure their safety and compliance.

In summary, the application of self-adhesive copper plate label paper in the pharmaceutical industry needs to pay attention to material safety, printing process, content compliance, paste performance, production process control and regulatory compliance. By comprehensively considering these factors and taking corresponding measures, the effectiveness and reliability of self-adhesive labels in pharmaceutical products can be ensured.
