Clinical Label Services
Label design and translation management to reduce cycle times
Clinical trial label production requires a higher level of oversight and management than a commercial labeling operation to protect the integrity of blind, as well as meet stringent regulatory requirements and controls.
Our advanced inspection software, full in-house print capabilities, and proprietary translation and regulatory approval system are specifically designed to reduce overall label cycle times.
Case study highlight: Through our single-vendor approach for both clinical labeling and packaging, we helped an emerging biotech achieve significant cycle-time reduction to hit an aggressive FPI timeline. Download the case study to learn more.
