Flip-off seal with counterfeiting protection
West Pharmaceuticals ServicesD-I-D (Decoration-Identification-Differentiation) System is enabling customers to add enhanced point-of-use protection against counterfeiting to their drug products. The D-I-D System is also helping build brand recognition and providing vital dosing instructions for the healthcare practitioner. Pharmaceutical companies have historically selected aluminum seals and plastic Flip-Off buttons for their functional properties of securing the vial stopper, protecting the injection site and providing evidence of tampering. A recent upsurge in drug counterfeits in the United States, Europe and Asia has changed that thinking. Customers are now customizing the seal and button combination to integrate the total packaging system into their programs for protecting their products against counterfeits.
