Questions Answered
Healthcare Frequently Asked Questions
Are linerless labels suitable for clinical environments?
Yes, our linerless labels are designed for healthcare use. They're BPA-free and produce no backing waste that could contaminate clinical spaces. The adhesive is latex-free and suitable for patient-contact applications like wristbands.
Do linerless labels meet NHS procurement standards?
Our labels meet relevant quality standards for NHS procurement. We can provide technical specifications, safety data sheets, and certifications as required for trust procurement processes.
How do linerless labels support NHS Net Zero targets?
Linerless eliminates 100% of liner backing waste - the single largest waste stream from traditional labelling. For a typical NHS trust, this can represent significant tonnage annually, supporting measurable progress toward sustainability goals.
Can linerless labels withstand autoclaving?
Standard linerless labels are not autoclave-rated. For applications requiring sterilisation resistance, please contact us to discuss specialist formulations. Our standard labels are suitable for most clinical labelling needs that don't involve autoclaving.
What about MHRA compliance for pharmaceutical labelling?
Our labels can be used for pharmaceutical labelling applications. Print quality supports required barcodes and text sizes. For specific regulatory requirements, we can provide technical documentation and samples for your compliance team to evaluate.
Do you work with NHS procurement frameworks?
Yes, we can supply through NHS procurement routes and work with framework agreements. Contact us to discuss your trust's procurement requirements and we'll guide you through the appropriate channels.
