IL Group, a manufacturer and supplier of multifunctional labels for the pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors, has introduced Light Protect Pack, an advanced labeling product designed to preserve the stability and integrity of light-sensitive medications from packaging to administration, while enabling product visibility.

To ensure the sustained efficacy of photosensitive drugs, IL Group’s Light Protect Pack blocks harmful light at wavelengths as low as 380 nanometers (violet), providing protection against photodegradation. The solution series also includes options using amber material effective as low as 500 nanometers, allowing manufacturers to tailor light shielding based on specific product requirements. Lastly, a 700-nanometer aluminum label option rounds out the full suite of solutions sure to meet any labeling requirement.

Unlike conventional light-protective solutions, Light Protect Pack can successfully shield light even for applications using clear glass vials or syringes (both glass and plastic), allowing visual inspection during the reconstitution process while still providing long-range light protection. This ensures the stability of light-sensitive pharmaceuticals from packaging to administration, enhancing both product safety and usability.

“This labeling solution solves a long-standing challenge in pharmaceutical packaging: balancing visibility with protection,” says Eiji Funabashi, president of Iwata Label USA Inc. “With Light Protect Pack, manufacturers and healthcare providers get the best of both worlds – reliable light shielding and visual clarity – ensuring drug integrity, safety, and usability.”
