Blood Bag primary Identification labels

Having conducted specific research on this type of label since the 1990s, Adhex has built up a unique know-how and expertise in the choice of facestock and adhesive. Film and adhesive optimal combination, have been designed by Adhex researchers thanks to their very fine understanding of specific constraints guarantees the label performance throughout blood bag life cycle. E.g. during sterilization (dry or wet) at high temperature (up to 145°C), even when the bags are stacked one on top of the other; during temperature lowering; pasteurization then freezing (down to -25°C).

The adhesive carriers are extremely durable and also resist the deformation of the label observed during centrifugation (up to 3900 rpm). Adhex’s self-adhesive substrates adapt perfectly to the different materials used by manufacturers: PVC (DEHP, DEHT, TOTM, DINCH) and Citrate. By virtue of a perfect control of the production line and its wide range of available facestocks (Polyethylene, Polypropylene, PVC, Synthetic Paper), with pre-cuts and printing, the blood bag labels developed by Adhex guarantee inviolability and security. Dedicated printing workshops master the technical processes that enable it to acquire expertise in ink stability: Flexography for printing fixed data (manufacturer’s logo, Whole Blood or blood component donation, information on anti-coagulant solutions…), thermal transfer (TT) and digital printing are available for variable data (daily barcode, batch number…).
