Labels for the documentation of information and procedures
The documentation labels are characterized by the possibility to peel off and re-adhere a label partially or completely to a different substrate after adhering the basic label. Thus important information is available multiple times. The documentation labels will be mostly used for the company intern logistics processes or for the recording of warranty cases. Similarly, the administered medicine can be documented in the patient files or in the vaccination cards. They are easy to handle and will be produced individually in the desired formats. The documentation labels can be also manufactured in a pad form e.g. as a set to enable a guaranteed easy handling for example in hospital- or laboratory everyday life.
Also in the technical area the documentation labels will be applied. There are further labels with specific contents on the basic label and due to the cutouts of the upper material separately releasable. The partial labels can be used at various times during the manufacturing process. The labels often contain barcodes or information for use or processing. The partial labels will be adhered to the respective parts and ensure a gapless backtracking and identification in the area of quality control and security.
The main features of documentation labels
- Perforations, flaps and custom blanking possible
- Partially different adhesive features as well as safe adherence also on difficult substrates
- Soft and smooth label materials suitable for adherence on tubes, vaccine bottles etc.
- Available plain or preprinted
- Die-cut labels in different shapes and formats on a sheet for the adjustment to components are possible
- Additional labels can be peeled off consecutively or as a unit
- Safety features for authenticity protection and a protection against manipulation possible
- Suitable for sterilization and use in autoclaves using steam
- High abrasion resistance with suitable thermal transfer ribbons for the thermal transfer printing
- Suitable for the standard-compliant labeling like e.g. FDA etc.
- Optimization of processes due to the automation of material and product flow
- Numerous special materials by Avery, 3M, Flexcon, and Tesa available from stock
- Labels in individual formats and special forms
The documentation labels offer the best possible flexibility and will be adjusted individually to the customer’s requirements. This happens by using suitable special materials of leading manufacturers, individual die-cutting forms and premium adhesives.
The labels can be inscribed directly as required in variable amounts with current data at the site, by that the storage and the management of numerous labels may be reduced or dropped.
Our upscale and accurate processing with most modern die-cutting technologies guarantees the highest precision and reliability for the label application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial applications of documentation labels
The typical applications of the documentation labels are labels with codes, batch numbers or timestamps. Provided with barcodes, the labels serve to the company intern control processes and logistic procedures. In the medical area they document the use of vaccines in the vaccination cards and patient files. Inter alia they will be adhered to documentation components, containers, product parts, and tubes.
These documentation labels can be used for example in the following sectors and areas:
- Hospitals, medical practices, and laboratories
- Medical products (active, non-active and products with measuring function)
- Mechanical engineering (engines, machines and machine tools)
- Electric tools engineering (tools, home appliances, office machines etc.)
- Automotive manufacturing (OEMs, supplier)
- Vehicle construction (public transport, freight transport, ships and train construction)
- Chemical industry (control- and pump technology etc.)
Individual features of documentation labels
The documentation labels can be manufactured from special multilayer label materials. These materials are also known as sandwich materials due to the multiple layers. Here during the manufacturing process not all layers will be punched, whereby the labels get different forms and areas which can be removed separately. This application serves e.g. to a multilevel manufacturing- and documentation process.
A wide range of materials as well as special adhesives is available. The labels can be imprinted with e.g. barcodes, QR codes, consecutive numeration or other information and also contain safety features like e.g. microprints.
