If it's critical in public health defence, we label it

Partnering with authorities like Médecins Sans Frontières, The World Health Organization, UK Health Security Agency and the New York State Department of Health, we deliver labels that support disease research and control efforts globally.

Our durable labels are integral to government health protection agencies’ operations and are engineered for the meticulous task of patient sample identification, supporting key processes in infectious disease research. Withstanding the rigours of low-temperature storage and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, our labels ensure data integrity and patient safety.
