Pharmaceuticals

For pharmaceuticals requiring a “no label look,” Topflight’s ultra-clear labels allow products to be viewed through the label. These labels can simulate the look of direct printing on the container, with a less expensive technique like digital, roll-to-roll screen, or flexographic printing.

Multiple clear stocks are available, some on cold temperature permanent adhesive which can be applied in temperatures as low as 35°F. Embedded luminescence provides a readable surface for application machines with read rates of up to 300 products per minute.

A variety of numbering and tracking options are available to identify products including QR codes, 2D bar codes, UPCs, variable numbering, liner numbering, and serialized data. Topflight can accept randomized number files from customers, or supply and track sequential numbers from order to order.

RFID represents one of the most rapidly developing technologies in the pharmaceutical industry and offers numerous advantages over traditional inventory methods. The technology can relay more information with greater accuracy, durability, ease of use, design options, and security. RFID solutions can verify products as well as provide tracking and descriptive information to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

The FDA’s new Unique Device Identifier (UDI) system improves the accurate identification of all medical devices on the market and the critical information that goes along with these devices. As labeling on most devices now requires a UDI in human- and machine-readable form, Topflight can print these for you, from the UDI and prime label to the barcode and shipping labels.

Security label technology can help pharmaceutical brands protect consumer safety, build loyalty, and reduce risk. Self-destruct materials, void materials, and tamper-evident labels or seals will tell a consumer if a product has been tampered with. Other features, such as holographics, microtext, or invisible inks can identify if a product is authentic. Combining different security features is the most effective way to create a safe solution to growing pharmaceutical threats. 

Topflight can help incorporate flexible packaging into your design, all while contributing to a greener and more sustainable environment. Our experts can work with you to develop your product suitable for any setting. We offer specialty solutions such as cryogenic labeling, Tyvek lidding for disposables, and flexible packaging.

Cryogenic labels are labels that can survive in ultra-low temperature environments. They are frequently used for reliable sample identification. These labels ensure that critical information remains in tact in pharmaceutical storage, healthcare, and research laboratories.

Two-ply, multi-ply, and wraparound label designs are available with a resealable hinge to deliver three times the usable area of a standard, similarly sized label.

Since expanded content labels accommodate a larger information area, they can eliminate secondary label inserts on packaging lines, as well as decrease raw materials, making for much more efficient production runs. In addition, they can be utilized to create a streamlined information chain, serve as duplicate data, or enhance many other critical applications.

Detachable flag labels are complex constructions that possess a distinct end tab, or “flag” extension. This flag functions as a secondary label to create a streamlined information chain, serve as duplicate data, or enhance many other critical applications.

Island placement labels feature a removable label that can be applied to a different record or location to ensure accuracy and quality control. Island placement offers a unique label-on-label construction with many added benefits. Topflight’s custom release system allows the top, or “island,” label to be easily and cleanly removed from the base label, producing a dual-labeling configuration. The island label can then be reapplied to a variety of surfaces, including glass or plastic vials, syringes, patient charts, or medical records. Consistent information printed on both labels can then be utilized to provide greater reliability and security in the transfer of critical data that accompanies pharmaceuticals.
