ECL 3 Panel Leaflet

3 panel expanded content leaflet labels (ECLs) are a folded ribbon of paper that can be printed on both sides and encapsulated with a pressure sensitive label that seals the leaflet to the container. This label gives 3 extra panels of real estate for medication information, instructions for use, and other pertinent information. The label is user friendly, resealable, and fully customizable to fit your packaging requirements. ECL’s can provide a full graphic cover label that has all the great benefits of a pressure sensitive label.
