Labels for Medical technology Marking that stays legible across the whole product lifecycle

From the UDI carrier on the packaging to the rating plate on the device and the sample tube in the lab: medical technology and in-vitro diagnostics need marking that remains unambiguously readable after cleaning, refrigeration and reprocessing. We manufacture to your specification and transfer your approved data faithfully into print.

Labels and printed documents

What gets marked in medical technology

From the device to the sample, and the right document for every marking.

UDI labels on the packaging
01

UDI labels on the packaging

For sales, shipping and higher packaging levels. UDI-DI and UDI-PI, plain text, symbols to ISO 15223-1 and the machine-readable carrier are printed from your approved data.

Rating plates and device labels
02

Rating plates and device labels

For devices, instruments, pumps and accessories. Serial number, electrical data and 2D code have to survive cleaning, abrasion and years in service. We match material and adhesive to the substrate.

Labels for packaging and shipping
03

Labels for packaging and shipping

For pouches, trays and cartons. On terminally sterilised products the label belongs inside your validated packaging design. We agree position, material and process with you beforehand.

Sample, reagent and IVD labels
04

Sample, reagent and IVD labels

For tubes, reagent bottles, cartridges and kits. Small radii, condensation and refrigeration drive the construction, and in sample tracking the code quality decides whether the match holds.

Inspection, calibration and service marking
05

Inspection, calibration and service marking

Test status, next due date and tamper evidence on the device, plus the calibration pad for documentation in the field. Removable or overlabelling, to suit your process.

Manufacturing and inspection records
06

Manufacturing and inspection records

Device history records, incoming goods and release forms, label master approval sheets and package inserts, as numbered single sheets, continuous sets or carbonless sets to your template.

Technical basis

What we discuss before choosing the material

A material recommendation without substrate, medium, temperature profile and reprocessing method is guesswork. We clarify these four points with you.

Substrate
  • Plastic and glass containers: small radii, low surface energy and condensation limit the bonding area
  • Device housings in metal, powder coating or engineering plastics each need different adhesives
  • On sterile barrier systems the label must not alter the validated packaging design
Chemical resistance
  • Isopropanol and wipe disinfection: agent, contact time and repetition determine the result
  • Reagents and body fluids are tested on the actual medium, because lab film alone implies no general resistance
  • Water and condensation are manageable, oil and grease considerably less so
Temperature
  • Application and service temperature are two different values, and both belong in the specification
  • For refrigerated and deep-frozen samples there are material codes rated from −25 °C application to −60 °C service
  • Steam, EO, plasma and gamma have to be qualified separately per method and cycle
Mechanics and legibility
  • Abrasion from wipe disinfection: cycle count, agent and contact pressure determine how long the print lasts
  • Small modules on curved surfaces are the main risk for weak 2D code grades
  • We grade printed codes to ISO/IEC 15415 and hand over the measurement report instead of promising they scan

Mandatory information

How your data reaches the label

Regulatory responsibility stays with the manufacturer. What we take on is the faithful transfer of your approved data into print and code.

  • UDI, batch and serial data taken faithfully from your approved source
  • Symbols to ISO 15223-1 and manufacturer information to ISO 20417 in its 2026 edition
  • Repeat orders with a documented material code and a recorded layout version
Part of the label goes into the record.. Pull the corner, like a label with a documentation tear-off.. Tear-off section for the device history record. Same number on the product and on the document. No transcription, no transposed digits

When the problem is not the label but the process before it

UDI, batch and device data already sit in your ERP, PIM or document system. With hummel360° we map how they turn into print data, orders and traceable processes. Built around your release process, not off the shelf.

  • Approved data into print under control

    Your approved product and UDI data arrive as a file or through an interface and become print data for the relevant label variant. Mapping your fields is set up in the project.

  • Plants and distributors order for themselves

    Every site sees only its approved range and triggers the reorder. Stock per site, reorder levels and a complete movement journal come with it.

  • Make documents reachable at the device

    A QR code leading from the marking to current service or product documents released by you can be added to your portal. Whether that is permissible for your product is something we clarify with you beforehand.
