Schreiner Group Products Receive International Recognition

In the FINAT Label Competition 2026, Schreiner Group has been recognized for its innovative prowess in the field of functional marking solutions. 

Schreiner Group received awards for its Schreiner MediPharm and an RFID-based hybrid label for vehicle identification from Schreiner PrinTrust.

Both solutions impressed the international judging panel with their combination of technological sophistication, security functions, and clear user benefits.

“The accolades once again validate our claim of developing innovative functional labels. The fact that both products enable forward-thinking additional digital functions shows that as well,” says CEO Roland Schreiner. “I am particularly pleased that the awards went to solutions from different business units thus showing not only the technological breadth of our portfolio but also our strength in different markets and industries.”

With a transparent seal featuring an integrated digital authentication function, Schreiner MediPharm addresses the growing demands made on counterfeiting protection and traceability in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The solution enables fast and reliable analog and digital authenticity verification. 

In addition to overt security features, a smartphone-readable covert security structure makes clear authentication possible. Tampering attempts on the seal lead to the destruction of this feature and are immediately detected, which means that fakes can be identified at an early stage. 

The combination of digital and analog first-opening indication, digital verification, and sustainable material use impressed the judging panel and was even recognized with two awards in the Innovation category, including the overall group award.

Schreiner PrinTrust was recognized for its innovative solution in reliable identification systems as well. 

The “3rd License Plate RFID Hybrid” Label combines optical security features with RFID technology and enables visual and automatic digital identification of vehicles across different distances. Due to the tamper-proof integration of UHF and NFC technology, the solution is suitable for use as an official third license plate, thus enhancing traffic safety. 

The judging panel particularly recognized the combination of security printing, digital functionality, and practical use and selected the solution for an award in the Marketing/End-uses – Security category.

The FINAT Awards are the most important competition of the European label industry and recognize outstanding products. 

They are presented once a year by the European Association of the Self-Adhesive Label Industry (FINAT). 

The 2026 winners were announced at a festive awards ceremony during the European Label Forum in Seville.
