Expanded Content Labels

Multi-Wrap ECL Booklet on Ampule

Multi-Wrap ECL Booklet on Ampule​

Multi-wrap Expanded Content Label (ECL) booklet on an ampule could be a multi-layered label that wraps around the ampule, providing extensive information about the contents, usage instructions, precautions, and other relevant details. These booklets are designed to provide more information than can typically fit on a single label due to the limited surface area of an ampule.

Overview of Expanded Content (ECL) Booklet Labels

ECL’s were developed to solve the labeling concerns in the packaging industry. This consists of 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.

  • Endless range of shapes and sizes
  • Designed for flat surfaces and tight circumferences
  • User-friendly open tabs
  • Resealable throughout the products life
  • Maintaining brand identity
  • A cost-effective alternative to literature
  • Automatic label application using standard equipment
 

Other Benefits of Booklet labels 

An expanded content booklet label is a type of label that provides consumers with additional information about a product beyond what is typically included on a product label. Here are some benefits of an expanded content booklet label:

  1. More information for consumers: An expanded content booklet label allows manufacturers to provide consumers with more detailed information about a product, such as ingredients, usage instructions, warnings, and other relevant details.
  2. Improved transparency: An expanded content booklet label can help manufacturers be more transparent about their products and the production process. This can build trust with consumers and lead to increased brand loyalty.
  3. Compliance with regulations: In some cases, regulations require manufacturers to include certain information on product labels. An expanded content booklet label can help manufacturers comply with these regulations while still providing consumers with additional information.
  4. Differentiation from competitors: An expanded content booklet label can be a way for manufacturers to differentiate their products from competitors. By providing more information and transparency, consumers may be more likely to choose their product over others.
  5. Reduced packaging waste: By including additional information on a booklet label, manufacturers can reduce the need for additional packaging or inserts, which can help reduce waste and improve sustainability.

An expanded content booklet label can provide many benefits for both manufacturers and consumers, including increased transparency, compliance with regulations, and improved sustainability.
