Vial- and tube labels for small diameters and radii
The small injection bottles are often also called vials and will be used in medicine and laboratories. These containers can be made of glass as well as of plastic and have a relatively small capacity, which is the reason for their small body diameter of up to 15mm (approx. 0.6 inch). Thus the labeling of a product with small diameter must be exactly adjusted to the application that the so‑called butterfly effect, namely protruding of the label in the edge area, cannot occur. For that plain or just partially preprinted labels will be often applied, which will be subsequently imprinted with the current production data on site during the filling process.
The main features of vial- or tube labels
- Very thin and soft and smooth materials
- High resistance against changing climatic conditions (hot water bath to low temperatures)
- High abrasion resistance with suitable thermal transfer ribbons for the thermal transfer printing
- Reliable adhesion at up to -50°C (-58°F) and in dry ice up to -80°C (-112°F)
- Easily printable and formable
- Suitable for standard-compliant labeling like e.g. FDA etc.
- Very high adhesive power of the labels also on difficult substrates
- Optimization of the processes by automation of material- and product flow by machine dispensing
- Numerous special materials by Avery, 3M, Flexcon, and Tesa available from stock
- Plain/preprinted labels in individual formats and special forms
Functions and advantages – precisely tailored to your requirements for the labeling
The vial 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.
Some materials and products to be labeled are not completely cooled down when the labels shall be adhered. In addition, other products can have moist surface or surface difficult for labeling, which can be safely labeled with matching adhesives.
Our upscale and accurate processing with most modern die-cutting technologies guarantees the highest precision and reliability for the application of labels. Thus even labels with adhesives which are difficult to process can be processed mechanically very well, which increases the user efficiency in the long term.
