Hp 20291 Schreiner Label For Autoinjectors With Benefits
User safety is the primary concern in the development of intelligent pens and autoinjectors for self-injection. Equipped with customizable combinations of functionalities, the specialty labels further enhance user-friendliness and patient safety.

Examples of customized labeling options for autoinjector pens include the following:

• Temperature indicator-The temperature indicator produces a reversible color shift that shows when a defined room or cooling temperature has been reached. Offers maximum variability with respect to the desired temperature range.

• Medication check/UV protection-If the pen has a transparent window to check the medication, the contents can be protected against UV rays by a double-layered label. To check the contents, the top layer is opened by means of a starter tab and can be easily closed again. Alternatively, the transparent window included in the label can be equipped with UV protection.

• Integrated tamper and counterfeit protection-To reliably indicate the first opening of the pen, the label enclosing the cap has a perforation. The authenticity of the pen can be confirmed by means of integrated security features, such as the LaserSecure specialty pigment that is only detectable by a reader.

• Anti-slip varnish/tactile elements-A special varnish coating improves the grip and feel of the label surface and helps patients safely use the pen. Integrated tactile elements make it easier, for example, to tell apart similar systems containing different active ingredients purely through touch.

• Protected print-All printed elements of the label are mirror-inverted on the reverse side, meaning the surface touched by the user contains no ink. Inscriptions and symbols are visible through the transparent film in non-inverted form. This protects the print against scratching and abrasion.

• Reminder function for contents check-Integrated label parts serve to remind the patient to regularly check the contents. The detachable parts can be personalized with individual data for this purpose. Labels can be applied to the patient's medical records for documentation.
