By capitalizing on recent developments in labeling technology, Royston Labels says it can produce specialized labels, which immediately expose tampering. This advance offers brands a cost-efficient means of securing pharmaceutical packaging and preventing counterfeiting. These important label solutions are compliant with the regulations required by pharmaceutical applications, says the company. The sealant labels identify tampered products by tearing easily if attempts are made to open them, while remaining otherwise unbroken. The anti-tamper labels can be supplied in an exceptionally high clarity form, to ensure that important product details remain visible. However, Royston can also produce them in a very opaque version that masks packaging information which is unwanted. The labels are also flexible enough to provide advanced security functions even on irregular shaped packaging and will resist UV light, moisture, solvents and extreme temperatures. According to the World Health Organization, more than 10% of drugs sold worldwide are counterfeit, with rates potentially as high as 25% in developing countries. Anti-tamper labels deliver brands a cost-efficient means of overcoming this significant threat, according to Royston.
