Helpful Points to Consider

Your Partner…Your Resource

We believe partnerships lead to trust, confidence, a sense of security and peace of mind. From engineering advice for product development to raw and finished material inventory management or even delivery due-date and quantity forecasting, we’re here for you.

 

Formula to Calculate the Length of Label Rolls

L  =  length of roll in feet
Dr2 =  diameter of the roll squared (in inches)
dc2 =  diameter of core squared (in inches)
C =  thickness of stock (in inches)

 

Further Points to Consider

If self-adhesive labels are stored under these conditions, they have a shelf life of one year.

New or Reprint

  1. Have you printed these labels before?
  2. If so are there any changes needed?

Usage

  1. How are these labels going to be used? (e.g. product packaging, security reason, sealing, etc.)
  2. Where are they going to be applied? (e.g. inside or outside, type of surface, etc.)
  3. Will you need to print or write on these labels in the future?
  4. How will you be applying these labels? (e.g. manually or automatic)

Design

  1. What is the size and shape of the label?
  2. How many colours?
  3. Do the colours bleed off the edges?
  4. Will you be providing artwork?

Delivery

  1. When do you need them?
  2. How do they need to be packaged? (e.g. on rolls, fan folded, sheets, or singles)
  3. Are there any special instructions?

 

Storage of Self-Adhesive Labels

To optimize the life of self-adhesive labels, they should be stored as follows:

  1. Keep label rolls tightly wound and taped.
  2. Keep rolls in poly bags, tightly sealed.
  3. Keep bagged rolls inside a closed carton to protect from light.
  4. Store boxes at normal room temperature (72˚F, 22˚C) and normal room humidity.

Cold Chain Labeling

The study and engineering of healthcare remedies began long before the mid 1800’s, but it’s around that time organic compounds like morphine became available commercially as a source of pain relief. The first rudimentary clinical trials occurred during the 1500’s, but it wasn’t until 1943 in the UK when the first double blind, regulated clinical trial took place. Since then, discoveries and breakthroughs in drug remedies have been occurring more frequently, and with greater complexity when it comes to molecular structure.
