Sterilization pouch labels
Protect your sterilization pouches from contamination. CleanMark sterilization pouch labels are engineered for post-sterilization application so instruments and components can be labeled after autoclave or sterilization without compromising sterile status.
Optimized for post-sterilization workflows
When autoclave and self-sealing sterilization pouches are labeled after the sterilization process is complete, the label itself must be sterile. Otherwise, the sterile barrier can be compromised. CleanMark sterilization pouch labels are pre-sterilized, double-bagged, and engineered to withstand moisture and wipe-downs.
Success starts with the details
It matters when your sterilization pouch labels are applied. When it’s after pouch sterilization, pre-sterilized labels are essential. We work with your team to understand exactly when and how your pouch labels will be applied so we can optimize materials and construction.
| Label component | Why it matters | Performance impact |
|---|---|---|
| Adhesive | Pouches may be recently sterilized or damp. | Adhesives must bond reliably to surfaces that have been exposed to steam or sterilization processes. |
| Facestock | Labels may encounter moisture or cleaning agents. | Moisture- and chemical-resistant materials maintain structural integrity and legibility. |
| Sterility processing | Labels are applied after sterilization. | Pre-sterilized labels preserve sterile status during post-autoclave application. |
| Packaging | Labels must enter sterile environments safely. | Double-bagged packaging reduces contamination risk. |
| Print method | Identification often added near sterile areas. | Direct thermal simplifies sterile workflows. Thermal transfer may be used when additional durability is needed. |
| Print performance | Pouches require clear status identification. | High-contrast, durable printing ensures sterilization dates and identifiers remain readable. |
Quality control and testing
Your sterilization pouch labels go through extensive quality checks during design, sampling, and manufacturing.
