Protecting Blood Transfusion Safety | Ribbons Help Blood Bags Clearly and Securely Identify Their "Identity"

Imagine this: at an accident scene, a victim is bleeding profusely and dying. A bag of matching blood could be their lifeline. However, when medical staff pick up the bag, they discover the label is illegible—unable to identify the number, blood type, or expiration date... This precious bag of blood must be left untouched. Time is running out, and life is on the line. This is no exaggeration! The label on the blood bag is the blood's "identity card," carrying the weight of the patient's life.

Blood bag labels undergo many challenges from collection to final transfusion

Before storing blood, sterilize it with saturated steam at 121°C (250°F) for 10-20 minutes. Stir vigorously at 20-24°C during centrifugation. Store it in a refrigerator at 2-6°C or freeze it below -18°C for extended periods. Adapt to the temperature fluctuations required for storing different blood components. Risks of friction, squeezing, and adhesion during transportation and stacking. Alcohol-based disinfection for routine handling.

Conventional label printing is prone to blurring, peeling, sticking, and even failure under these requirements. Once critical information (such as the barcode or blood type identifier) is damaged, the entire bag of blood may be unusable—not only wasting precious blood resources, but also potentially delaying treatment and threatening the patient's life. Faced with such stringent requirements, blood bag label information requires an "indestructible guardian."

Our solutions: Resin ribbons TDR345, TDR325, T355

Excellent print quality

Small characters, barcodes or QR codes can be printed clearly, sharply and darkly, ensuring that key information (blood number, blood type, expiration date, barcode) is clearly visible at any stage.

Excellent corrosion resistance

Unafraid of daily alcohol disinfection: Withstands 350 alcohol wipes.
Unafraid of high-temperature steam sterilization: After a 145°C sterilization process, the information remains secure and clear.
Unafraid of low-temperature storage: Printed information will not crack or fall off even when stored at -17°C.

Excellent printability

Perfectly adapted to various substrates commonly used for blood bag labels, such as synthetic paper, PET, and PVC, it provides stable and reliable printing results.
