Thermal Transfer Ribbons for Pharmaceutical Labels
Pharmaceutical labelling demands zero-error barcode printing. A smudged batch code or illegible expiry date can trigger product recalls and compromise patient safety. Codewell Image manufactures ribbons engineered for the specific demands of Indian pharma — from room-temperature cartons to cold-chain vials.
Labelling challenges in pharmaceutical
Understanding these challenges is the first step to choosing the right ribbon.
Labels must survive cold chain (2–8°C) without cracking
Print must resist sanitizers, alcohol wipes, and cleaning agents
Small-text legibility at 6–8pt for drug composition and dosage
Barcodes must remain scannable for 2–5 years on packaging
Compliance with CDSCO, FSSAI, and GS1 India serialization
