Expanded Content Labels (ECL) Overview
Extended Content Labels (ECLs) have emerged as an innovative label solution that addresses the challenge of providing extensive regulatory and patient information on healthcare packaging while maintaining brand identity, minimizing stock, and improving production line speed. The Booklet ECLs, in particular, offer a highly effective solution by condensing a large body of information into a compact label format, thereby reducing the number of packaging components required to accommodate regulatory or language requirements.
The Booklet ECLs are designed to accommodate a high volume of patient information, including multi-lingual and regulatory information, and are suitable for several types of packaging, including bottles, ampules, syringes, vials, and cartons. The panels of the ECL contain all the necessary information and requirements for the medication, which helps healthcare providers and patients alike make informed decisions about the product.
One of the key advantages of Booklet ECLs is that they offer an ideal platform for printing promotions, coupons, and other forms of communication with patients. This can be done by printing the information on the panels or by utilizing smart technologies such as serialization, NFC, RFID, and more. This allows manufacturers to engage with their customers more effectively and can enhance patient adherence to medication regimes.
ECLs offer a range of security features that ensure the integrity of the product and prevent counterfeiting. These features include back numbering, sequential or random numbering, holograms, and other anti-counterfeiting measures.
The Booklet ECLs offer a highly versatile and efficient solution that reduces administration, improves production line speed, and enhances security, while providing a comprehensive platform for displaying patient information and facilitating communication with patients. Overall, Extended Content Labels are an excellent choice for healthcare brands looking to provide extensive information while maintaining brand identity and improving production efficiency.
