Targeting piracy and tampering issues in the pharmaceutical sector, the new Pharma-Comb labels launched by Schreiner MediPharm feature a wide range of security features that address the specific needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
A versatile marking solution with detachable label parts, the Pharma-Comb label is equipped with integrated security features, so that the label becomes an effective means of providing pharmaceuticals with customised authenticity protection.
Overt features such as holograms or colour-shifting security inks are combined with covert features – such as ‘void effect’, which reliably indicates that a label has been detached, or LaserSecure pigments, which have a customised formulation that acts as an optical fingerprint – into multi-level security systems, depending on the requirements.
“The detachable label parts perform additional security functions,” the Germany-based company says.
“When detaching them from the substrate, the message ‘peel-off part has been removed’ becomes visible.”
Other security features are embedded in the detachable label part to make authentication checks possible, even after a label has been attached to a patient’s medical records.
“The pharmaceutical manufacturer benefits from a tailored solution that can be integrated into the existing corporate and brand design, while complying with the high approval requirements of the EU Falsified Medicines Directive,” Schreiner says.
