Marking in the pharmaceutical industry by printing or pharmaceutical labels allows to mark pharmaceutical products, drug packages, containers as well as numerous elements of hospital supplies in accordance with regulations.
Because the health of patients is directly at stake, the information on the labels or packaging of pharmaceutical products must be easily legible and permanently recognizable.
No other industry requires such high-quality labels. This is because the imprint contains key information such as ingredients, expiration dates, dosage and allergy information. Correctly labeled pharmaceutical products also prevent counterfeiting.
Diagraph carries the necessary pharmaceutical technology: our label printers enable you to apply the prescribed information unambiguously, tamper-proof and permanently by means of perfect coding.
Possibilities/distinctions in pharmaceutical label printing
In terms of customer confidence, the correct application and labeling of pharmaceutical labels plays an enormous role:
Reputable suppliers therefore ensure that information such as application instructions, product characteristics, ingredients, barcodes or the batch number are labeled in a legible and forgery-proof manner over the long term. As a result, the smallest labels in the pharmaceutical industry have to be printed with a great deal of information.
When it comes to producing pharmaceutical labels, label printers from Diagraph offer first-class quality.

FAQ
Do you have further questions? Here you can find more details.
In no other industry is correct labeling as important as in the pharmaceutical industry. This is because the product, its use and the recommended dosage have a direct impact on the health or well-being of the person taking it. Pharmaceutical ingredients initiate internal body processes that are intended to improve the patient's/client's condition, e.g. in the form of pain reduction or relaxation. They also provide the customer with easy-to-read instructions on use, dosage and shelf life. With transparent information, pharmaceutical labels contribute to correct application, counterfeit protection and thus, in summary, consumer protection.
Diagraph offers its customers solutions capable of producing highly legible, temperature-resistant and durable closure labels. The thermal transfer printing process used in the NGT series models offers ideal pharmaceutical label print quality in this context thanks to its high resolution. The font is high quality, sharp, and thus eminently readable. It thus takes into account all the rules and regulations.
The spectrum is extensive: pharmaceutical labels can be found on bottles and containers as well as on packaging, ampoules, vials and vials.
