ABSTRACT

Labeling encompasses a wide range of technologies and is one of the broad and

varied parts of pharmaceutical packaging that is particularly difficult and chal-

lenging. It consists of two very separate elements that are both required to

produce a label. The first element is the actual construction of a label, the

materials used in its construction, the adhesives, the inks, and all the other

process requirements including printing processes needed to describe the phys-

ical construction and manufacture of a label. The second is the graphic elements

of the label, both text and pictures, that communicate with everyone using the

product.
