Lessons from 25 years in pharma labelling – #5: Designing with the next product in mind Different shapes. Different labelling requirements. The pens in this photo illustrate why one question deserves attention when specifying new equipment: “What might the next product require?” A different geometry can change how a product needs to be held, oriented and labelled. A different label position may require a different approach. At LSS, our experience with complex pen geometries helps us explore these questions early – and understand where flexibility will create practical value. We cannot anticipate every future product. But we can help customers decide which options are worth keeping open. For me, that is part of “made to measure”. How much do future products influence your equipment specifications? #PharmaLabelling #DrugDelivery #PharmaPackaging

Getting pen and auto-injector labeling right without a solution tailored to your device layout is incredibly difficult. A deviation of just one millimeter can ruin an entire batch. Backed by more than 25 years of specialized industry experience, LSS provides labeling solutions built from proven, standardized modules with integrated vision inspection. You get the exact setup your workflow demands, full audit trail functionality, and zero errors leaving the line.

Inflexible labeling systems create bottlenecks and impede time-to-market. The complex nature of pen and auto-injector labeling demands a solution tailored to your line, not a rigid off-the-shelf compromise. LSS solutions use standard building blocks configured for your specific workflow. Whether you require in-line labeling, off-line labeling, or complex tray handling, our modular systems ensure rapid deployment and consistent, high-volume production. Achieve faster time-to-market with a scalable, compliant system built to make life easier for operators and QA. #toploadcartoning #penlabelling #autoinjector #pharmaautomation #secondarypackaging

Before a pen or autoinjector enters the carton, the labelling process must be stable. If the label is wrinkled, poorly oriented or not properly inspected, the problem does not stay in the labeller. It moves downstream. It can affect cartoning, inspection, serialization, reject handling and overall line performance. That is why pen and autoinjector labelling must be treated as a critical process step — especially when the labeller feeds an integrated packaging line. At LSS, we have worked with pen labelling since the 1990s and with complex labelling for more than 50 years. Our proven technology is built around precise product handling, controlled labelling and reliable integration with downstream packaging processes. #toploadcartoning #penlabelling #autoinjector #pharmaautomation #secondarypackaging

Achieving flawless precision for pen and auto-injectors is critically difficult. The inherent complexities create a significant risk of misalignment and compliance issues. With more than 25 years of experience in pharma labeling, LSS combines proven, standard modules to fit your exact needs for in-line or off-line labelling. With integrated vision inspection and automatic rejection systems, we ensure only fully approved devices leave the module. Get audit-ready compliance aligned with EU GMP and EudraLex Vol. 4 standards without the long lead times of traditional custom builds.

After Interpack 2026, I have been reflecting on many of the conversations we had with pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs. One message came through clearly: growing complexity is driving a greater need for flexibility. Changing batch sizes, broader product portfolios and increasing SKU volumes are putting pressure on production environments to support efficient changeovers, reliable handling, and stronger control of quality and documentation. At the same time, Pharma 4.0 is moving further into practice, with increasing focus on connected operations, faster decision-making, and stronger in-line, real-time control in regulated environments. In my view, this has important implications for labelling and packaging. Equipment must do more than perform well mechanically. It must also support traceability, documentation, and efficient day-to-day operation in environments where equipment, data, and process control need to work together. I would be interested to hear whether you are seeing the same developments in your own production environment.
