Industry solution

Labels for Pharmaceuticals Marking that follows the batch all the way to dispensing

From the vial through the carton to the investigational product: in pharma every label carries a batch identity that has to stay traceable for years. We manufacture to your specification and transfer your approved data faithfully into print.

Labels and printed documents

What gets marked in the pharmaceutical industry

From the primary container to the pallet, and the right document for every batch.

Primary container labels
01

Primary container labels

For vials, ampoules, syringes, bottles and cans. Small radii, condensation and refrigeration limit the construction. We qualify material, adhesive and print on the actual container, not on the data sheet.

Cartons with safety features
02

Cartons with safety features

For prescription medicines within the scope of the falsified medicines rules. We print the unique identifier as a 2D code and in plain text from your data; allocation and verification stay with you.

Tamper evident and closure labels
03

Tamper evident and closure labels

For carton flaps and other opening points. Whether tampering becomes visible depends on the combination of label, adhesive and board. That is why we sample on the original packaging rather than promise it.

Cold chain and deep freeze labels
04

Cold chain and deep freeze labels

For refrigerated medicines, samples and shipping containers. Material codes exist rated from −25 °C application to −60 °C service. Whether they suit your chain depends on the substrate and the moment of application.

Clinical trial labels
05

Clinical trial labels

For investigational products, kits and outer packaging. Small formats, many languages, re-labelling and blinding. Content, randomisation and release come from the sponsor, we reproduce them faithfully.

Batch and accompanying records
06

Batch and accompanying records

Batch records, label reconciliation records, certificates of analysis, temperature logs and package leaflets. As numbered single sheets, continuous sets or carbonless sets to your template.

Products for the pharmaceutical industry

What we produce for this industry, sorted by product area. Each card leads to the product page with materials and versions.

Technical basis

What we discuss before choosing the material

A material recommendation without container, medium, temperature profile and storage time is guesswork. We clarify these four points with you.

Substrate
  • Vials and ampoules: small radii and little bonding area limit format and construction
  • Carton board reacts differently to adhesives depending on varnish and surface
  • Condensation on refrigerated containers decides whether application works at all
Chemical resistance
  • Disinfectants and isopropanol: agent, contact time and repetition determine the result
  • None of our materials is tested for direct contact with the medicine, that belongs to primary packaging
  • 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 the cold chain there are material codes rated from −25 °C application to −60 °C service
  • Dry ice, autoclave and gamma have to be qualified separately per method and cycle
Code quality
  • The 2D code on the carton decides whether verification succeeds at the point of dispensing
  • Small modules on curved containers are the main risk for weak grades
  • We grade printed codes to ISO/IEC 15415 and hand over the measurement report

Mandatory information

How your data reaches the label

Pharmaceutical responsibility stays with the marketing authorisation holder. What we take on is the faithful transfer of your approved data into print and code.

  • Batch, expiry and serial data taken faithfully from your approved source
  • Country and language variants from one maintained set rather than from single orders
  • Repeat orders with a documented material code and a recorded layout version
More room on a small container.. Pull the corner, like a multi-layer label on a vial.. Mandatory texts in many languages. The bonding area stays small. Open and close again

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

Batch, expiry and market data already sit in your ERP or document system. With hummel360° we map how they turn into ordering, print data and traceable processes. Built around your batch run, not off the shelf.

  • Call up approved variants under control

    Products, markets and language versions sit in a protected ordering workflow, and every site sees only what is approved for it. You decide who may do what.

  • Variable data without retyping

    Batch, expiry and ID data arrive as a file or through an interface and become print data by rule. Mapping your fields is set up in the project.

  • Stock per site in view

    Reorder levels, alerts and a complete movement journal show what is where and when to reorder. Postings are made by scanning a barcode with a phone.
