In modern pharmacies, medications dispensed by fully automatic packaging machines require precise traceability through information on the bags. Blurred, missing, or contaminated printed information can delay dispensing at best, or even lead to medication accidents. Thermal transfer ribbon, a critical consumable for packaging machines, directly determines information readability, durability, and safety.
Challenges faced by printing information on medicine bags
Clear readability: Printed information must be rich, clear, and sharp, ensuring that nurses and patients can quickly and accurately scan and verify the code, thereby avoiding medication errors.
Scratch resistance: Printed information must remain intact and clear during frequent friction during sorting, transportation, and distribution.
Environmental resistance: Printed information must withstand the constant temperature environment of the pharmacy, possible cold chain storage, and specific disinfection environments without peeling.
Printability: Printed information must adhere securely to a variety of common pharmaceutical bag materials (such as composite paper, PE, PP, and composite film).
Safety and pollution-free: Printing ink must be non-toxic and meet the strict safety and hygiene standards of medical environments.
