Schreiner MediPharm has developed specialty labels for demo devices of various auto injector models from SHL Medical in which safety and ease of use for the patient are of paramount importance. The label solutions underscore the exacting demands made on the injection systems in terms of quality and patient orientation. As a novel feature to assist the user, an NFC chip has been integrated in the Amber model.
 
SHL Medical develops innovative auto injectors for leading companies in the biopharmaceutical industry. The label performs important functions that are tailored to meet the requirements of the manufacturer and the needs of the users. To improve grip, an anti-slip varnish was used to prevent slipping during the injection. An integrated hologram helps the user identify the product as an original. A printed QR code provides a link to a website when being read via a smartphone.
 
The Amber model is additionally equipped with a special new feature. A label-integrated NFC (Near Field Communication) chip offers users the opportunity to interactively access important information and services by smartphone. Furthermore, the label for the Molly device includes a temperature indicator that produces a reversible color shift when a defined ambient temperature has been reached.
