The right coating or adhesive can make all the difference in a label’s effectiveness. In the case of pharmaceutical labeling, the outcome is critical in assuring the safety of the product – and the patient.
Adhesives are key in a wide range of applications, ranging from over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and nutraceuticals to vitamins and ethical pharma. Security and durability are of the utmost importance, meaning the labelstock and adhesives are required to perform specific functions.
Avery Dennison, a substrate and adhesive supplier based in Mentor, OH, USA, has engineered a host of adhesives to meet the varying demands of the marketplace. For example, pharma security solutions must overtly show that a product has been tampered with or altered in some way. A fiber tear necessitates a label with a strong adhesive that will damage the underlying varnish box packaging if removed, while void labels show hidden text or pattern when the label is removed. Sharp tear and frangible labels require adhesives that allow the label to tear or break apart in small pieces upon tampering.
