Abstract The presentation will provide an overview on state of the art technologies for the labeling of syringes, vials and medical devices. In the field of anti-counterfeiting and track & trace, labels with detachable documentation parts can play an important role. These labels can include diverse overt and covert security features on a very small space. As regards the important topic of needlestick injury prevention in healthcare environments, functional label solutions with integrated needle protection offer advantages to users as well as pharma manufacturers, thus combining safety and cost efficiency. With upcoming legal requirements the field of inprint technologies is changing. A fast particle-free laser printing technology for pharmaceutical labels will be presented that might be interesting for applications in a clean room environment where thermotransfer and inkjet solutions do not work in many cases due to the particle load. Finally, new market requirements for functional labeling will be discussed and will be presented in some case studies.
