BOPP synthetic paper labels and PE labels have their own characteristics in the application of medical supplies. The following is a detailed comparison and summary of the two in the application of medical supplies:

BOPP synthetic paper label

Advantages:

High transparency: The BOPP synthetic paper label has excellent transparency and can clearly display the information of medical supplies, such as drug name, dosage, instructions for use, etc., which is very important for medical supplies, because the accuracy of the information is directly related to the safety of patients.

Good printing performance: The surface of the BOPP synthetic paper label is smooth, the absorption of ink is good, and it can print clear and bright patterns and words, which is suitable for medical supplies labels that need to print complex patterns or words.

Waterproof and oil resistant: BOPP synthetic paper labels have excellent water and oil resistant properties, suitable for use in medical environments, to ensure that the label information is still visible in wet or oily environments.

Durability: BOPP synthetic paper labels are generally considered to be one of the more durable labels on the market, which can avoid information blurring or damage due to friction, wear and other reasons during transportation or use.

Cons:


Higher cost: Compared to PE labels, BOPP synthetic paper labels may be more expensive to manufacture, which may increase the overall cost of medical supplies.

Limited temperature resistance: In high temperature environments, BOPP synthetic paper labels are prone to deformation or melting and may not be suitable for medical supplies that need to withstand high temperatures.

PE label

Advantages:

Good softness: PE label has good softness, suitable for sticking on the surface of medical supplies with curvature, and the label edge is not easy to wrinkle, which can ensure the flatness and beauty of the label.

Good extrusion resistance: PE label has excellent extrusion resistance, suitable for medical supplies that are often squeezed, such as syringes, infusion sets, etc., to ensure that the label is not easy to damage or fall off during long-term use.

Environmental protection: PE is an environmental label material, easy to recycle, in line with the requirements of the medical industry for environmental protection.

Lower cost: Compared with BOPP synthetic paper labels, PE labels have lower manufacturing costs, which can reduce the overall cost of medical supplies.

Cons:


Low transparency: The transparency of PE labels is relatively low and may not be as clear as BOPP synthetic paper labels, but in medical applications, as long as it can meet the basic information display needs.

General printing performance: Although PE labels can be printed, the printing effect may be slightly inferior compared to BOPP synthetic paper labels, but it can usually meet the basic printing needs of medical supplies.

conclude

BOPP synthetic paper labels are more suitable for medical supplies labels that require high transparency, good printing performance and water and oil resistance, such as pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices. These products usually have high requirements for the information display and durability of the label.

PE labels are more suitable for medical supplies labels that require good softness, good extrusion resistance and low cost, such as syringes and infusion sets. These products usually have high requirements for the softness and extrusion resistance of the label, while cost control is also an important consideration.

To sum up, the choice of BOPP synthetic paper labels or PE labels for medical supplies labels needs to be comprehensively considered according to the specific product needs and application scenarios. If the clarity of product information, printing effect and durability have high requirements, you can choose BOPP synthetic paper label; If you have high requirements for softness, extrusion resistance and cost, you can choose PE labels.
