The Pharma-Tac Plus label from Schreiner MediPharm has won the World Label Award 2014 for the innovation category.
The World Label Award is awarded by L9, a global alliance of label associations, on an annual basis.
Pharma-Tac Plus label’s combination of booklet label, hanger and detachable label parts convinced the L9 panel of judges.
The labelling solution for infusion bottles offers space for extensive information, ensures stable suspension and allows reliable documentation of administered medications.
A paper booklet that is securely connected to the plastic base label provides space for information on ingredients and instructions for use in several languages.
Using a starter tab, it is easy to open and reseal again.
The robust hanger is part of the label and is easy to separate from the label construction for activation.
Detachable documentation parts, which are easy to remove, even wearing gloves, ensure reliable traceability of the infusion in patient records.
Schreiner MediPharm president Ann L Merchant said: "The special design of the Pharma-Tac Plus label optimises processes of healthcare personnel and improves patient safety at the same time."
The product already won three awards, which are the FINAT Innovation Award 2014, PrintStars Innovation Award 2014 and TLMI Award 2013.
