ECL’s can be design to fit many shapes and sizes. Booklet labels are versatile labels in the pharmaceutical, Clinical and Over the counter markets.
Overview ECL Booklets
Booklet labels, also known as expanded content labels or booklet-style labels, are multi-panel labels that provide additional space for text and graphics. They are used when the amount of information required on a label exceeds the available surface area of a traditional label.
Booklet labels consist of a base label and one or more additional layers that can be opened like a booklet or folded like an accordion. Each layer can contain additional information about the product, such as instructions for use, warnings, or ingredients.
Booklet labels are commonly used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, where regulatory requirements often mandate the inclusion of extensive information on product labels. They are also used in the food, beverage, and consumer goods industries, where manufacturers may wish to include additional product information or promotional messaging.
Booklet labels can be printed in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be customized to include brand-specific graphics and messaging. They can also include a range of security features, such as tamper-evident seals and holographic foils, to help prevent counterfeiting and ensure product authenticity.
Expanded Content Label Booklets were developed to solve the labeling concerns in the packaging industry around the ability to display regulated copy, with standard environmental factors, lower packaging labor cost, reduce packaging waste, reduce inventory, and eliminate the chances of a mismatching label and leaflet. As ECL’s developed and became more functional their use cases increased to include multilingual, OTC applications, smaller containers, delivering coupons and promotional items just to name a few.
