When it comes to pharmacy labels, it’s essential that the labels you choose are of the highest quality and enable consistently accurate barcode screening. After all, pharmacy/prescription labels are a vital link that communicates information between physicians and pharmacies. The information printed on pharmacy labels – most notably patient name, doctor name, drug type, strength and dosage – is critical to ensuring proper patient care.
Pharmacy labels are used in a variety of health care settings, from hospitals and physicians’ offices to skilled nursing facilities, clinics and more. Most are commonly printed using direct thermal printing methods and equipment. Direct thermal labels are constructed through a direct thermal printing process whereby a thermal print head heats specific areas of coated thermal paper or substrate. The paper is run over the thermal print head and turns black in the area that receives heat, which, in turn, delivers a designed image.
Direct thermal labels are ideal for short-to-medium-life applications, particularly in retail, logistics and other industries where the label is not exposed to high heat or moisture levels after it has been applied.
