When it comes to labeling in the medical device industry, the stakes are high. Labels need to meet strict regulatory requirements while also standing up to real-world conditions. At PaladinID, we recently had one of our inkjet BOPP label materials undergo the most rigorous testing process in my 40 years in this business—and we’re proud to share the results.
The Testing Procedure
Over an 18-month period, our label material was printed on the Epson ColorWorks C7500 on-demand color inkjet label printer and subjected to a full battery of industry-standard tests, including:
- Sterility Testing – Proving the label can withstand sterilization processes without losing adhesion or legibility.
- Real-Time Age Testing – Ensuring the label maintains its integrity and print quality throughout its expected shelf life.
- Sutherland Rub Testing – Confirming the ink and label surface resist abrasion during handling and shipping.
The Outcome: Success Across the Board
I am pleased to report that our inkjet BOPP label materials passed every test with flying colors. From sterility to aging to abrasion resistance, these labels maintained print clarity, durability, and performance under the most demanding conditions.
This is the most comprehensive client-driven testing process we’ve ever been part of, and it validates what we already know: PaladinID delivers labeling solutions you can rely on—even in highly regulated environments like medical device manufacturing.
Why This Matters for Your Business
If you’re in the medical device, biotech, or pharmaceutical industry, you understand how critical it is to choose the right label material. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about compliance, reliability, and ensuring your labels perform in the real world.
Our inkjet BOPP solutions, combined with printers like the Epson C7500, allow you to:
- Print high-quality, full-color labels on-demand.
- Ensure long-term durability and compliance.
- Streamline your labeling workflow without sacrificing performance.
