Schreiner MediPharm has developed a cut-through indicator function that clearly visualises attempts to tamper with closure seals. Thanks to the special design, flexible integration of the security feature is possible.
Tamper evidence is particularly important for pharmaceutical packaging. With the new cut-through indicator function from Schreiner MediPharm any attempt at tampering is made visible by cutting the seals - and can no longer be made unrecognisable. This solution effectively prevents the frequently practised method of tampering with folding cartons by cutting open and re-gluing the seal with transparent adhesive tape.
The cut-through indicator function is not designed as a standardised label, but as a modular feature that can be individually integrated into existing or newly developed closure seals. The cut-through indicator function is customised to the respective seal and the specific application. The single-layer structure enables flexible and cost-efficient adaptation to different materials and customised designs. The function also fulfils Highest safety requirements for pharmaceutical packaging in accordance with ISO 21976 and the European Falsified Medicines Directive 2011/62/EU.
Especially striking punching contours with thin, long and very flexible bars make lateral displacements or defects visible in the event of tampering attempts. Security features such as Raised structures and irregular outer contours can also be integrated and further increase the protective effect. Likewise Special graphic design requirements such as guilloches as an additional authentication feature.
