These labels are used extensively in hospitals and research laboratories for patient admission and analyses.

All pharmaceutical labels must meet strict FDA guidelines for quality and safety. Under FDA regulations, pharmaceutical and healthcare labels must be designed and applied such that regardless of distribution, storage and usage conditions, the labels must remain in place and can be easily read.

Cryogenic plastic labels are specially constructed for long-term storage in liquid nitrogen, deep-freeze and harsh environments of up to -185°C. They are mainly used in biomedical research and clinical laboratories.

For labels used for the laboratory, the lot numbers and expiration dates have to remain intact for long periods of time. Couple this with the small surface area of the label and print to show, laboratory labels are specialist labels indeed. Laboratory labels need to use materials that are able suitable for products with small diameters and curved surfaces, such as test tubes and bottles.

Combined with an integrated document management system, these labels allow quick and easy scanning of the patient's barcoded wristband to get instant access to all information relating to the patient.

* All labels used are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
