What are the special requirements for transparent thermal sensitive label paper in the pharmaceutical industry?

In the pharmaceutical industry, transparent thermal sensitive label paper has a series of special requirements, which mainly stem from the particularity of the pharmaceutical industry and its high standard requirements for labels. The following is a detailed explanation of these special requirements:

1、 High definition and contrast

The pharmaceutical industry has strict requirements for the clarity and contrast of labels. Transparent thermal label paper needs to be able to clearly print key information such as the name, specifications, production date, expiration date, batch number, etc. of the drug, and these information need to have high contrast so that they can be clearly visible under various lighting conditions. This helps ensure the accuracy and readability of drug information, avoiding confusion and misuse.

2、 Wear resistance and scratch resistance

Due to the various physical frictions and scratches that drugs may experience during transportation, storage, and use, transparent thermal label paper needs to have good wear and scratch resistance. This ensures that the information on the label remains clear and complete over a long period of time, without becoming blurry due to wear or scratches.

3、 Waterproof and oil resistant performance

The pharmaceutical industry also has certain requirements for the waterproof and oil resistant performance of labels. Transparent thermal label paper needs to be able to maintain the clarity and readability of information in humid or oily environments. This helps ensure that the label information of drugs is not blurred or detached during transportation and storage due to the influence of environmental humidity or grease.

4、 Chemical resistance

Many drugs in the pharmaceutical industry have chemical activity that may cause corrosion or dissolution of label materials. Therefore, transparent thermal sensitive label paper needs to have good chemical resistance to ensure that it will not change when in contact with drugs, thereby maintaining the integrity and readability of label information.

5、 High temperature and low temperature resistance performance

In certain aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, such as sterilization, refrigeration, etc., labels need to be able to withstand high or low temperature tests. Transparent thermal label paper needs to have the ability to maintain information clarity and readability in high or low temperature environments to ensure that drugs can still be accurately identified and tracked after undergoing these processes.

6、 Anti counterfeiting and traceability functions

The pharmaceutical industry has an urgent need for anti-counterfeiting and traceability functions. Transparent thermal label paper can assign a unique anti-counterfeiting code or traceability code to each drug by adding special anti-counterfeiting elements or patterns, as well as using variable information printing technology. This helps consumers verify the authenticity of drugs and trace the source and production process of drugs, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drugs.

7、 Environmental protection and sustainability

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the pharmaceutical industry is also paying more and more attention to the environmental protection and sustainability of label materials. Transparent thermal label paper needs to be made of recyclable or biodegradable materials to reduce environmental pollution. At the same time, thermal printing technology also needs to have the characteristics of low energy consumption and low waste generation to meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry for environmental protection and sustainable development.

In summary, the pharmaceutical industry has special requirements for transparent thermal label paper, including high clarity and contrast, wear and scratch resistance, waterproof and oil resistance, chemical resistance, high and low temperature resistance, anti-counterfeiting and traceability functions, as well as environmental protection and sustainability. These requirements collectively ensure the reliability and applicability of transparent thermal sensitive label paper in the pharmaceutical industry.
