NFC Dose Verification
Smart and Intelligent Packaging
NFC Dose Verification
NFC dose verification technology has revolutionized the way medication is tracked and verified in a patient’s medication regimen. One of the most important features of NFC technology is its ability to provide dose verification for patients.
NFC-enabled medication containers can be programmed to track and log a patient’s progress through their medication regimen, ensuring that they are taking the right medication, in the right amount, and at the right time. This feature helps to improve medication adherence and reduce the risk of medication errors.
NFC technology can be used to verify or measure a liquid dose of medication in a syringe or auto-injector. This is done by using a measurement of resistance, which allows healthcare providers to verify that the correct dose has been dispensed and administered to the patient.
This technology can be particularly useful for patients with chronic conditions that require regular injections or infusions, as it ensures that the correct dosage is administered every time, minimizing the risk of overdose or underdose.
Overview of Near Field Communication (NFC)
Near field communication (NFC) label technology is increasingly being used in the pharmaceuticals market to improve patient safety and medication adherence. NFC is a short-range wireless communication technology that allows two devices to exchange data when they are in close proximity to each other. In the pharmaceutical industry, NFC label technology is used to enable communication between a medication container and a smartphone or other NFC-enabled device.
One of the primary benefits of NFC label technology in the pharmaceuticals market is improved medication adherence. NFC-enabled medication containers can be programmed to send reminders to patients when it is time to take their medication. These reminders can be sent via a smartphone app or other NFC-enabled device, ensuring that patients do not forget to take their medication and that they take it at the right time.
NFC technology can also be used to provide patients with access to information about their medication. By simply tapping their smartphone or other NFC-enabled device to the medication container, patients can access information such as dosage instructions, side effects, and interactions with other medications.
NFC label technology can also help to improve medication safety. Medication containers can be encoded with information such as lot number, expiry date, and dosage strength, allowing healthcare providers to easily verify the authenticity of the medication and ensure that it is being used safely and appropriately.
NFC label technology in the pharmaceuticals market is expected to continue to grow as the technology becomes more widely adopted. As patients become more engaged in their own healthcare, NFC-enabled medication containers and smartphone apps will become increasingly important tools for improving medication adherence, safety, and patient outcomes.

Why CCL Healthcare for Smart Packaging
CCL Healthcare is a leading provider of smart labels and packaging solutions that help brands connect with their consumers in meaningful ways. With smart packaging, brands can provide consumers with a digital experience that traditional packaging simply can’t offer. This technology has the ability to transform the packaging landscape, providing a range of benefits to consumers and patients alike.
One of the most significant benefits of smart packaging is its ability to provide authentication and tamper-evident features. This ensures that consumers can trust the products they purchase and use, and can be confident that they are receiving genuine goods. Additionally, smart packaging can provide medication adherence tracking, enabling patients to monitor and manage their medication schedules more effectively.
Smart packaging also has the potential to enhance the consumer experience in other ways. For example, brands can use smart packaging to offer product re-ordering, loyalty programs, and rewards, incentivizing consumers to stay loyal to their brand. Brands can also use smart packaging to deliver a range of rich multimedia experiences, including videos, gamification, and coupons.
Beyond enhancing the consumer experience, smart packaging can also help to capture critical data that can be used to promote healthy lifestyle changes and increase health outcomes. For example, smart packaging can be used to track health behaviors, medications, and other health-related metrics, enabling healthcare providers to identify trends and develop more effective interventions.
Smart packaging represents a significant opportunity for brands to engage with their consumers in more meaningful ways, and for healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes by leveraging the power of technology. With CCL Healthcare at the forefront of this revolution, brands and consumers alike can look forward to a brighter future of smart packaging solutions.

Twinsert pharmaceutical leaflets – Twin-Serts
Twinsert pharmaceutical leaflets, also known as Twin-Serts or Twin-Leaflets, are a type of folded leaflet commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. These leaflets are designed to provide detailed information about a medication or medical device to patients and healthcare providers.
Twinsert leaflets are called “twin” leaflets because they combine two separate leaflets into one package. This allows for the inclusion of more information in a smaller package size, which is beneficial for pharmaceutical companies looking to reduce packaging costs and environmental impact.

Braille Labels
Pharmaceutical braille is a tactile writing system used to label medication packaging for individuals who are visually impaired or blind. Pharmaceutical braille labels are designed to provide important information about the medication, including dosage, administration instructions, and warnings, in a format that can be easily read and understood by individuals with visual impairments.
Pharmaceutical braille labels are typically created using a special printing process that embosses the braille text onto the label material. This process creates a raised surface that can be felt by touch, allowing individuals with visual impairments to read the label with their fingertips.
Inverted Hanger Labels (IVHL)
The inverted hanger feature allows the label to hang upside down, making it easier to read the information on the label when the medication is stored on a shelf or in a medicine cabinet. This design also helps to conserve space, as the label can be hung on a peg rather than taking up valuable shelf space.
Inverted Hanger labels for medication are typically made from high-quality, durable materials that are resistant to moisture, light, and other environmental factors that can affect the quality and effectiveness of the medication. They are also designed to meet industry regulations and standards for medication labeling, ensuring that patients receive accurate and comprehensive information about their medications.
Pressure Sensitive Labels
Pressure sensitive labels, also known as self-adhesive labels, are a type of label that adheres to a surface when pressure is applied. These labels are made of three layers: the facestock (the label material), the adhesive layer, and the liner (the backing material).
When pressure is applied to the label, the adhesive layer sticks to the surface, creating a bond. This type of label is commonly used for product labeling, packaging, and branding purposes.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID)
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has revolutionized the way organizations in various industries track and manage inventory, as well as improve overall efficiency and safety. In recent years, the use of RFID has expanded beyond inventory management to customer engagement, particularly through Near Field Communication (NFC) labels. NFC labels are becoming popular for creating unique brand experiences before and after the sale. They allow customers to learn more about the product or brand by sending the customer to a product-specific landing page. This white paper will examine the use cases of NFC labels as a promotional labeling tool and explore two industries – healthcare and wine – where RFID technology is driving value.
Guidelines for Directions for Use (DFU)
Guidelines for Directions for Use (DFU) are similar to Instructions for Use (IFU) but specifically pertain to medical devices. The DFU provides detailed instructions to the user on how to use the device safely and effectively. These guidelines are critical for healthcare professionals and patients who are using medical devices for treatment or diagnosis.
