Autoclave Indicating Ink Application Options
Text:
Text is a straightforward and effective way to convey information.
For instance, the word "Autoclaved" can be printed on the label. When the label is exposed to the autoclave process, the text will change, providing a clear and immediate indication that the process has been completed.
This method is ideal for situations where clarity and direct communication are essential.
Dot or Square:
For more intricate label designs, shapes such as dots or squares can be printed anywhere inside the label. This flexibility allows for creative and functional designs that can fit within the specific layout requirements of your product, leaving room for other critical information.
Line:
A traditional format involves printing a line down the edge of the label, running from top to bottom. This method is simple yet effective, providing a clear visual indicator while maximizing the print area for other essential elements like barcodes, lot information, and more.
