Schreiner MediPharm releases colored film anticounterfeit labels

Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based global provider of specialty pharmaceutical labeling solutions, now offers colored films within its label and cap combination anti-counterfeiting labeling solution. Flexi-Cap comprises a label combined with a cap, a capping similar to the cover for wine bottles but adapted to the specific requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. The result is a clear and irreversible indication that a primary container has been opened. The colored film caps are now available to help physicians and nurses easily identify different medicines or varying product potencies.

Flexi-Cap with Colored Films by Schreiner MediPharm US

The film cap works in position over the closed container with the label applied without covering the peel-open tab of the opening strip. Once the strip is opened, the bottom part of the cap, together with the label, remains attached to the container. Attempting to remove the rest of the cap destroys the label, eliminating the possibility of unnoticed illegal reuse.

In contrast to shrink-wrap solutions, the label construction is applied without using heat, making the solution viable for temperature-sensitive medicines. The pharmaceutical manufacturer's label and brand design integrity are maintained. Additionally, the top of the cap allows space for bar code printing or NFC chip integration for electronic tracking.

Said Gene Dul, President of Schreiner MediPharm US, 'The newly available colored films provide Flexi-Cap with a secondary benefit – avoiding medication administering errors – to supplement its primary purpose as a customizable, highly effective anti-counterfeiting tactic. Flexi-Cap now stands not only as a means of vastly diminishing the potential for illicit market reintroduction, but also reducing chances for medication errors by healthcare professionals.'
