Frangible and Blister Overfoil Labels

Frangible material, sometimes called ‘destructible’ material, comprises of a permanent adhesive with a very high initial tack combined with an incredibly thin PVC or PE face material.

It breaks into tiny fragments like eggshell when tampered with. Clean removal from a carton is not possible with this material, which is why it is recommended for FMD labels in the pharmaceutical industry. 

A frangible label cannot be removed in one piece and re-used on another carton.

Frangible Material is also a great solution for Blister Pack Overlabels. Our innovative range of foil over-labels facilitate the neat and fast re-labelling of blister packs. Our specialist range of food-safe materials allow tablets and capsules to easily break through. Measured exactly to the blister pack ensuring complete blockout of the original text.

Our labels can be supplied in white or silver, with full print, including coding and consecutive numbers on reverse, or plain for your own thermal printing on-site.

Development is fully bespoke and we can guide you to the best possible outcome.

Considerations when developing a blister pack over-label:

• Application – by hand or a specialist applicator? CV can help advise
• Fully printed, part printed, or plain?
• A full trial is recommended – CV offer this as standard
• Our graphic design studio will work with your blister packs for exact sizing

As this material is technically challenging to work with, trust CV and our extensive experience to find the right choice for you.
