Description

Security label for a multi-part vessel, using a security label, system and method for

Application of a security label for a multi-part vessel

The present invention relates to a security label for a multi-part vessel, which can contribute to reliable protection against manipulation for a multi-part vessel in a simple and inexpensive manner. The invention also relates to the use of such a security label for a multi-part vessel and a system with such a security label and a multi-part vessel. The

The invention further relates to a method for applying such a security label.

Security labels can be of authorization as well

Authentication or proof of origin are used and can be used, for example, if it is necessary to protect ingredients against unauthorized access and to show that the associated container has been opened. This applies in particular to containers in the

pharmaceutical and medical field, the contents of which are to be protected against manipulation.

It is an object of the invention to contribute to reliable protection against manipulation for a multi-part vessel in a simple and inexpensive manner.

The task is characterized by the characteristics of the independent

Claims resolved. Advantageous further developments are specified in the subclaims. According to one aspect of the invention, a

Security label for a multi-part vessel, a first label section, which is designed to be attached to a first part of the vessel, and a second label section, which is designed to be applied to the vessel in a state of the

Security label to enclose a second part of the container all around, so that the security label at a free end of the second section of the label that the first

Label section is facing away, is closed along an edge line in itself. The two label sections form a respective part of a common material web that is adjacent to one another. The security label also has a severing element which is arranged with respect to a longitudinal axis of the security label between the first and the second label section, so that when the container applied with the security label is opened, the security label is opened by means of the

The severing element can be severed in a predetermined manner and the second label section can be removed together with the second part of the vessel from the first label section and the first part of the vessel.

The security label described can be used in a simple and inexpensive manner to contribute to reliable protection against manipulation for a multi-part vessel. The security label can have a single-layer or multi-layer structure with several layers. It can be partially or completely self-adhesive or partially or completely with an underside

Be provided with adhesive layer. The second label section is designed such that, when applied to the vessel, it forms a kind of sealed hat around and over the second part of the vessel, which is, for example, a screwable or removable

Closure is realized as the upper removable part of the vessel. Such a sealed label closure of the second label section can therefore not be opened non-destructively, so that it is more secure and reliable

Protection against manipulation by means of the described

Security labels can be implemented.

The second label section can in particular

be designed such that the security label is applied along the edge line in a state applied to the vessel

is cohesively closed. For example, the second label section is provided on an underside with an adhesive surface, so that it is in one on the vessel

applied state along the edge line is adhesively closed. Alternatively or additionally, a material can be on the free end of the second adhesive section

be provided, which is weldable, so that

Security label in a state applied to the container along the edge line by means of welding

is closed.

The second label section forms an upper part of the security label, while the first label section forms a lower part of the label section. The upper, second label section is accordingly assigned to an upper part of the vessel, which for example has a head, a cap, a lid or a

Forms primary closure or another closure of the vessel. The bottom, first label section is is assigned to a lower part of the vessel, for example a body or container of the vessel. In the context of this description, terms such as “above” and “below” refer to an operational arrangement or application of the security label and the container, the upper, second label section being the upper, second part of the

Is assigned to the vessel, which is removed to open the vessel.

The security label is especially for two-part

Vessels, such as syringes and vials, are suitable, the first label section being attached to the vessel body and the second label section being located in the region of the removable second part of the vessel. The two

Label sections are formed in one piece from a common material web and essentially by the

Cutting element separated or delimited from each other. When the container is opened and the security label is severed, the first and second form

Label section two separate parts.

The first label section is provided in one

applied state of the security label firmly attached to the vessel body or the first part of the vessel. The second label section is optionally firmly attached to the cap or the lid or the second part of the vessel or is only connected to the cap or the lid in a touching manner and above it

trained closed. Alternatively, the second

Label section above the cap or lid

be closed without touching the cap or lid. The second label section is designed such that it is closed in an applied state above the removable second part of the vessel. Accordingly, the second label section is in terms of its length and

Width set up so that it deliberately protrudes beyond the second part of the vessel in order to enable the upper end of the second label section to be closed and sealed in a targeted manner. The second protrudes when the security label is attached to a cylindrical vessel

Label section therefore at least as far in the direction of the longitudinal axis beyond the second part of the vessel as corresponds to the radius of the second part of the vessel. With respect to a width transverse to the longitudinal axis, the second is

Label section at least as wide as it corresponds to the circumference of the second part of the vessel, so that an all-round label can be formed at least in this section. In addition, the security label, for example in the second label section, can also be made longer and wider in order to implement an all-round label which, when applied, at least partially comes to rest on itself and which enables simple, safe and reliable sealing.

By means of the security label which is closed at the top, a labeling and sealing function can thus be implemented, which can be produced simply and inexpensively, and also reliable protection against manipulation and

Proof of opening for a multi-part vessel. The upper, second label section can

Completely hermetically enclose the removable, second part of the container or contain predetermined openings to provide a certain degree of elasticity for the security label. The security label enables the vessel, which can be divided into several parts, to be sealed efficiently. A clear and irreversible display of a first opening, an unauthorized opening or a manipulation of the container provided with the security label is provided by means of the described structure and the predetermined cutting element. Thus a

reliable checking of the integrity of the

Security labels, for example, on one

Drug packaging should be enabled before use. Reuse of the container, for example a syringe, after use and other manipulative uses of parts of the packaging or the container and

Refilling can be prevented by the security label or at least clearly indicated.

According to a preferred development, this includes

Security label an adhesive layer which is arranged on an underside of the first label section, so that the security label can be arranged on the vessel by means of adhesive. Such an adhesive layer enables the security label to be reliably attached to the vessel in a simple manner by the first label section being adhered to an outer wall of the first part of the vessel, which

Example the body of a syringe or one

Injection vial or a vial that contains a predetermined ingredient.

In addition, the first label section can also be designed such that it enables an additional wrapping of the vessel in the area of the first part before the trailing combination of the remaining, first Label section and the second label section is dispensed over an entire height or length of the vessel. In this simple way, for example, some

Syringe types a targeted increase in the diameter of the vessel body can be achieved.

The adhesive layer can also completely cover the underside of the security label and also allow the second label area to be glued to the second part of the vessel and to the free end. The security label preferably has in the area of the

Cutting element on an adhesive-free surface, which makes it easier to cut through the security label and remove the second label section from the first

Allows label section. A required one

The effort to separate the two label sections is therefore compared to a completely adhesive one

Security label reduced and opening dynamics of the container applied with the security label is improved.

The severing element can in particular be coordinated with the vessel to be applied in a region of the

Security labels can be formed, which in an applied state on the vessel is assigned to a transition between the first part and the second part of the vessel.

The severing element is located, for example, in a region of a lower end of the primary cap, which corresponds to the head or the second part of the vessel. A sufficiently strong turning or pulling on the second part of the vessel simultaneously leads to a predetermined one

Cutting the security label so that the second label section and the second part of the container are separated from the first label section and the first part of the vessel are removable. The severing element can, however, also be arranged in other areas which enable the label sections to be separated from one another when the vessel is opened. Especially when the security label

is configured in multiple layers, the severing element can be set up, for example, clearly below the area of the lower end of the primary cap, so that the upper layer of the security label tears in a predetermined manner.

In addition, the second label section can be formed with predetermined surface properties, which make it easier for the user to open the container and cut through the security label. Such beneficial

For example, you can use a

Use of anti-slip varnishes or by means of printed tactile elements that enable the second label section to be gripped more securely.

According to a preferred development, this is

Cutting element as a perforation or as a

Tear strips formed or includes such an element. By means of a tear strip, the security label can also be pulled before the second part of the

Be severed in a targeted manner. Thus, a targeted cutting of the can in a simple and inexpensive manner

Security labels along the specified perforation or tear strip, if that with the

Security label provided container is opened. The

Perforation can, in particular, also be combined with punched-out or branched-out sections upwards and / or downwards in order to open the vessel and cut through the

Security labels clearly visible damage leave. The perforation can be, for example, F-shaped or Y-shaped, or wavy or jagged, in order to realize a clearly visible indicator of a first opening.

In addition, according to a further development, the security label can have a thickness compensation element which is arranged in the second label section in order to provide size compensation in relation to different geometries of the first and second part of the container. Such a compensation element can be designed in particular in the form of one or more punchings, fold lines or as a printing layer or in the form of one or more additional film layers. The die cuts and fold lines provide a certain degree of stretchability of the second label section, which is particularly useful when the head

or the second part of the vessel is larger than the body or the first part of the vessel with respect to a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis. The

Die cuts can be designed as a plurality of v-shaped or line-shaped cuts. With a multitude of fold lines, the security label can have a fan-like structure for flexibility

with regard to different geometries

to provide labeling and sealing vessels. With such thickness compensation elements, this can be done

Security label for geometrically different vessels can be set up and thus enable a larger area of application in a simple and inexpensive manner.

Tolerances with regard to the geometry of the vessel can also be precompensated by means of a predetermined applied printing layer or additional film layer. For example, by means of a printing layer or

additional film layer, an undesired free space between the second label section and the container can be filled and reduced in order to enable a secure and stable hold of the security label on the container and also to contribute to increased protection against manipulation.

The described thickness compensating elements therefore realize in particular a possibility in terms of

rotationally symmetrical vessels of different radii

Compensate vessel body and removable cap.

In addition, the security label can be a

Have indicator layer in the area of

Cutting element on the first and / or second

Label section arranged and designed to remove the second label element from the first

Display label element. For example, it can

Security label have a void structure in the area of the severing element.

In this context, a void structure offers additional protection against manipulation by means of two or more structures with different degrees of adhesive strength

is realized. For example, a more adhesive structure in the form of a lettering is implemented in the void structure, while other sections of the void structure are less adhesive. Will the void structure

or the security label, which comprises a void structure, applied to a vessel to be secured, the more adhesive lettering remains on the object or the first when the multi-part vessel is opened Glue label section while the weaker adhesive sections with the second label section of the

Item to be removed. Alternatively, the at least two structures described can also be designed the other way round with regard to their adhesive strength, so that, for example, the structure in the form of a lettering is less adhesive. As an alternative or in addition, the indicator layer can have colored characters for reliably displaying a first opening

exhibit .

As an alternative or in addition, one of them can be separated by a partially opaque severing element, for example

located layer are exposed, which in turn indicates the opening of the vessel by striking design such as colored areas, lettering or other indicators.

The security label can furthermore be designed with a predetermined contour of the first and / or the second label section, so that the closed edge line is applied to the vessel in a state of the

Security labels emulate a given geometry and are, for example, straight or rounded.

The shape of the sealed edge line can be used alternatively or additionally when closing or afterwards

Tools are edited. For example, a

Form a desired shape of the sealed edge line when closing by welding the free end of the second label section.

According to a further aspect, the invention comprises a

Use of an embodiment of the described

Security labels for a container that can be divided into several parts. According to a further aspect of the invention, a system comprises a container which can be divided into several parts and has a first part and a second part and an embodiment of the previously described security label, which is applied to the container in such a way that the first label section is attached to the first part of the container and the second label section surrounds the second part of the vessel all around, so that the security label at the free end of the second label section is closed along the edge line.

The fact that the use and the system relate to, or include, an embodiment of the described security label means, if applicable, all of the described properties and characteristics of the

Security labels also disclosed for use and the system and vice versa.

According to a further aspect of the invention, a

Method for applying an embodiment of the

Security label for a multi-part vessel, attaching the first label section of the security label to a first part of the vessel and attaching the second label section of the security label to a second part of the vessel, so that the second label section predeterminedly encloses the second part of the vessel. The method further comprises closing the free end of the second label section in itself along the edge line and thereby sealing the second label section.

Using the application method described, it is possible to use the security label provided by the security label

Properties and characteristics related to the thing to be secured Vessel to form a safe and reliable

Use tamper protection, which one

reliable and clearly recognizable proof of opening. Because the procedure is based on a

Applying an embodiment of the described

Security labels, if applicable, are all described properties and characteristics of the

Security labels also disclosed for the process and vice versa.

The security label described is again largely explained below using the example of a vessel of a two-part syringe. The properties and characteristics can also be transferred in relation to other multi-part vessels.

Both the primary closure or the second part of the syringe and the syringe body or the first part of the syringe are encased by one and the same security label and, if necessary, connected to the label by means of corresponding adhesive surfaces. The security label extends to a tip of the primary closure and preferably protrudes significantly beyond it, so that a

simple and reliable sealing of the upper end of the second label section is made possible. By means of the sealed upper end of the second label section, manipulative access to the primary cap is prevented or at least counteracted.

Opening the container is accompanied by clearly recognizable damage to the security label. An opening of the

Primary cap by means of a rotary movement or pulling off the primary cap leads to destruction of the material web of the Security labels due to the breaking or tearing of a perforation, the cutting of a base material of the material web, such as, for example, film, paper or other materials, the detachment of adhesive areas or the

Exposing void fields.

Using the security label is therefore one

label-based sealing solution realizable, which

acts as a body label and seal at the same time. The fact that the security label with the second

If the label section protrudes beyond the primary cap, the upper end of the second label section can be securely and reliably closed, for example by means of simple and inexpensive connection techniques such as gluing, ultrasound, vibration, heating element or laser welding.

In this way, the second label section forms a label sleeve with a sealing function around the head of the syringe and can enclose the vessel, like a second skin, and provide a protective function for the medicament or the ingredient of the syringe. Such protection can

Prevent or at least counteract undesired exposure to light, UV radiation, penetration or escape of water, water vapor, solvents, atmospheric moisture or other small molecules.

The security label can be adapted using a

Adhesive selection with the vessel body and at the same time firmly connected in the area of the primary cap with adhesive. Alternatively, the security label can also be connected to the vessel body by means of adhesive only by means of the first label section and can only be adhesively bonded to itself in the region of the cap with the second label section and sealed at the upper end. The Security label can have a flat surface, which is, for example, firmly connected to a substrate. In order to be able to cover different radius ratios from body to cap of a respective syringe, this can

Security label can also be designed so that it can be wrapped around the vessel several times and forms an all-round wrap-around label by means of several wraps.

The security label can also be designed like a fan or some other

Thickness compensation element to encase the syringe and where a larger diameter compared to

adjacent areas of the vessel is present that

to compensate for different thicknesses or diameters.

A size adjustment can also be achieved by, for example, using die technology in one

Screen printing process at a given position very high lines or layers on the first and / or second

Label section are printed on which the radius of the vessel is smaller than in adjacent or adjacent areas.

The security label preferably has one

Cutting element in the form of a perforation, so that when opening the syringe to cut the

Security labels are not an additional step

is required. Using a special perforation geometry, a controlled and predefined tear, for example along an inserted contour, can be clearly visible. If an adhesive is also provided in the second label area, the second label section remains on the primary cap after opening the syringe and does not form an individual part of the security label in the form of a separate waste. The two at the opening

The resulting label parts remain firmly attached to the corresponding part of the container, that is, the first

Label section remains on the syringe body and the second label section remains on the syringe cap. Such remaining on the respective part of the vessel and thereby reducing the number of individual parts to be disposed of is particularly special in an operating environment

Meaning .

The position of a perforation as a severing element can be in a transition between the vessel body and the primary cap or it can be completely in the area of the

Be vessel body formed. In the latter variant, corresponding adhesive neutralizing or

multi-layer constructions of the security label

beneficial, which make it possible to transmit the opening forces to the area of the vascular body and to those there

to tear the perforation in a controlled manner. It is also possible to expose a lower layer of the security label below the perforated layer, so that, for example, predefined structures or indications such as a

Lettering "OPEN", visible from the outside and one

Clearly show first opening.

The severing element can also comprise a tear strip as an opening mechanism, which interacts, for example, with a perforation. The security label has, for example, a bulge in the area of the perforation as a grip tab, so that the security label underneath the primary closure is rotated with the tear strip and the primary closure together with the upper second Label section, which is arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis above the tear strip, can be removed.

In particular, the security label can be used advantageously in syringes with a Luer lock. In the case of prefillable syringes made of glass with a Luer lock closure, a plastic thread attached to the glass syringe can be held by means of the described security label. In this way, the thread can also be prevented from rotating, in particular when a cannula is screwed in, or counter-rotation can be counteracted. In addition, the Luer thread can be prevented from coming off by means of the security label, in particular when administering highly viscous medications, such as, for example, hyaluronic acid

be counteracted.

The security label thus enables simultaneous labeling and sealing of a multi-part container. For this purpose, the first label section can, for example, have appropriate printing or a label

Have surface. It also enables

Security label an adaptation to different

Radius ratios of syringes. Is the primary cap or the primary closure larger than the body of the

Vessel, can by means of the described

Security labels are reliably sealed without forming an adverse gap or fold in the area of the head of the vessel.

The security label can also be inexpensively manufactured in the form of a continuous material web and can be used not only for syringes but also for other multi-part vessels are used. At a

Administering a medication can be an additional one

Work step can be saved because it is by means of

described security label is not necessary, first a secondary cap or a seal label

to decrease. In particular, loose parts can be avoided or reduced when opening the container sealed with the security label.

The security label can be attached to a syringe beyond a cap without touching the needle area as follows: In a dispensing system set up for this purpose, the

Security labels can be slid over a pivoted sleeve over the cap area of the syringe

cylindrical labelable total body of the tip

train without touching the

Cap area comes. The syringe cap can then be wrapped with an adhesive-neutralized label surface of the second label section, which is only in the

Overlap area as an all-round label is closed with itself. Thus, the auxiliary device in the form of the sleeve can simply be pulled out of the casing. The formed label sleeve or the enveloping second label section can then be closed at its upper, free end. A

Technical implementation can be similar to that of one

Beverage is filled with vertically moving pods, which sometimes hang from the bottom, for example

stored syringes are pushed.

The security label has at least one label layer, which with the first label section as Body label and the second label section as

Seal label acts. According to one embodiment, it connects a primary container body with a primary container cap via the label layer with adhesive. Thus, the two parts of the container cannot be separated from one another and the container cannot be opened without destroying the security label or parts thereof. The security label forms the

Opening mechanism of the vessel and can be opened either in a screwing motion or in a pulling motion. The opening is clearly shown, for example by special perforation geometries that open up or deliberately look torn and destroyed.

Furthermore, special color designs in different layers of the security label can be used to open a text after opening, such as “Warning! Open! ", Or one

Let the specified color be recognized and thus irreversibly clearly indicate to the user that the security label and the container have already been opened. After opening

one, two or more parts of the

Security labels are preferably firmly connected to the respective vessel part, the first part and the second part of the vessel, which are arrested underneath. There are therefore no unwanted loose parts of the severed

Security labels. In addition, manufacturing the

The original condition of the severed security label by reclosing is not possible without leaving clearly visible identification features.

With regard to its design and its geometric design, the security label can be flexibly adapted to any type of vessel, size and material. A radius ratio of a cylindrical vessel of Vessel body to vessel closure or cap can be the same, smaller or larger within certain limits and can be reliably labeled and sealed using the described security label. If, for example, the cap of the syringe is larger than the body, special punching structures or gills can be used in the syringe

An existing transition area from body to cap

Size difference can be compensated. Gills make elongated incisions in the security label

given positions.

In addition, the shape of the security label can also be designed to match the vessel to be applied. In a supervision this shows

Security label on its outer edge, for example, a rectangular contour. However, the security label can also be T-shaped, so that, for example, the second label section is wider than the first label section, or vice versa, by different

To provide scopes. The security label can, however, also be designed in a V-shape and taper towards the top, ie towards the second part of the vessel. An asymmetrical design of the security label is also possible. If, for example, the cap of the syringe is larger than the syringe body, it can be useful for the security label to be conical or to taper upwards in order to prevent a label corner from sticking out of the container. It can be advantageous when using punch structures or gills in the transition area from syringe body to syringe cap that

Security label in the area of the vessel body or the first label section to run longer than

Example with a vessel with almost the same geometries from Syringe body to syringe cap. In this way it can be helped that the security label is connected vertically and stably to the vessel body before the

Transition area or the second label section is wrapped around the syringe cap.

In order to attach the

Security labels on a corresponding container

enable, the security label can also have edge jumps or mutually offset edges in order to contribute to a useful and secure adhesion of the security label to the vessel. For example, it can

Have security label along its leading edge between the first and second label section offset edges. The leading edge is the edge of the security label, which is preferably applied first when attached to the vessel.

A special variant of the security label has a leading extension in the first label section, which is applied and wrapped in the area of the vessel body. For an expression of the second

Label sections over a larger-sized vessel cap in comparison to the vessel body can be chamfered

Label edges of the security label can be useful for the application.

By means of such a staggered edge, an undesired pushing away of the security label from the syringe cap due to the syringe cap which is larger in circumference and an oblique wrapping of the vessel with the

Security label can be prevented. In particular, the sealed end of the security label above the end of the syringe contributes to safe and reliable manipulation protection and also represents a protective function against various influences. Depending on the choice of material, such a sealed closure of the security label can protect against UV radiation, penetration or Leakage of solvent, humidity or other small molecules

protect and also provide protection against counterfeiting and abrasion of printed information. A protective function can be specifically designed through a function-specific selection of the label base material or a functional printing.

The label sleeve can be closed at the upper end of the second label section using various techniques. Similar to one

Sugar bag, the opposite layers of the wrapped second label section can be stacked

brought and connected, for example welded and / or glued, so that at the upper end of the second

Label section a sealed edge line is formed, which may have a slight widening.

Using special tools, the edge line can also be subsequently processed and customized to form a useful and / or recognizable sealed end of the security label.

Alternatively, a simultaneous indentation from opposite sides by means of pressing tines

space-saving sealed closure can be generated at the top of the second label section, which also can have a high recognition value and the

Possibility to keep a width along the edge line smaller than a diameter of the vessel body or the vessel head. Such an embodiment of the

sealed end of the security label may appear

in particular with regard to storage and transport in an associated blister for syringes or otherwise

beneficial effect of multi-part vessels. Among other things, it makes it possible to return labeled and sealed syringes back to the packaging, such as blisters or trays, which have openings that are barely larger than the diameter of the container.

The security label combines the functions of one

Body labels with those of a seal label in the form of a common label. Access to the vascular occlusion is not possible, or at least made more difficult, without destroying the security label. Special punch geometries and

Functional surfaces, for example created by

Matrix printing technology, contribute to a safe and

reliable tamper protection and proof of opening, which can be easily adapted to the vessel to be secured.

According to a modification, a security label can also be formed with a structure that is open at the top. Such a security label can, if applicable, all of the properties and characteristics described above

Embodiments of a variant of the sealed above

Have security labels and vice versa except for

Difference that the upper, free end of the second

Label section remains open even in a fully applied state of the security label and none in has closed edge line in the sense of the previously described configurations.

In the case of the security label with an end of the second label section which is open at the top, this can extend to the cap end of the container or also beyond. When applying such an open

Among other things, there are security labels

Challenge that the security label in the area of the second label section may not be massaged or pressed onto the container, since no pressure should be exerted on the container cap. Massaging in this area can therefore also be omitted.

In order for the security label to form a closed ring at the upper end in the area of the cap end, despite a lack of tempering, the contour of the

Security labels can be specially designed. So that a trailing label corner, which around the end of the cap

is wrapped and designates a right corner at the upper end of the second label section, after the application does not protrude, the contour of the security label can be conical or V-shaped towards the label center. In this regard, the leading edge of the security label can also be affected or designed so that the security label, for example, on the leading and / or trailing edge in the direction

Tapered label center.

The leading edge of the security label can also be designed so that the security label at one

Application and wrapping of the vessel can be easily wrapped on itself. A correspondingly conical one or v-shaped leading label corner, which is the left corner at the upper end of the second

Labeled section of the label, can also in the absence of massaging an unwanted protruding from the vessel

compensate.

Both the primary closure or the second part of the syringe and the syringe body or the first part of the syringe are encased by one and the same security label and, if necessary, connected to the label by means of corresponding adhesive surfaces. The security label can either extend to a tip of the primary closure and possibly also protrude beyond it and form an upwardly open sleeve around the second part of the vessel. Manipulative access to the primary cap can thus be prevented or at least made more difficult.

An existing gap between the vascular occlusion and the second label section wrapped around the vascular occlusion is preferably so small that manual access to the vascular occlusion with or without aids is not possible without damaging the security label. In particular, the second label section in this area can have a predetermined one on an underside

have applied pressure layer, which in the applied state fills the gap between the security label and the container.

FIGS. 1A-1E schematically show an exemplary embodiment of a security label 1 for a multi-part vessel using the example of a syringe 40 in different views. The security label 1 has a first label section 10, which is designed to be attached to a first part of the vessel, the syringe body 40, and a second label section 20, which is for this purpose

is configured to surround a second part of the vessel, the syringe head or the syringe cap 42, all around in a state of the security label 1 applied to the syringe 40, so that the security label 1 at a free end 26 of the second label section 20, which corresponds to the first label section 10 is facing away, is closed along an edge line 27 (see FIGS. 1B-1E).

The two label sections 10, 20 form a respective part of a common material web that is adjacent to each other. The security label 1 furthermore has a perforation 32 as a severing element, which is arranged with respect to a longitudinal axis L of the security label 1 between the first and the second label sections 10, 20, so that when the syringe 40 applied with the security label 1 is opened, the security label 1 by means of the perforation 32 can be severed in a predetermined manner and the second label section 20 together with the syringe cap 42 of the first label section 10 and the syringe body 41 can be removed.

According to a preferred embodiment of the

Security label 1 is the perforation 32 as

Cutting element provided. As an alternative or in addition, a tear strip can also be realized as a severing element or comprise such a one

to enable controlled separation of the second label section 20 from the first label section 10. The

Perforation 32 can have a special geometry and is not necessarily arranged parallel to an outer edge of the security label 1.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the

Security label 1 has this, as in FIG. 1A

shown, an adhesive-free area 30 in the area of the perforation 32. That way, a simple one

Label section 10 are made possible. A required effort to separate the two label sections 10,

20 is thus reduced in comparison to a completely adhesive security label 1 and an opening dynamic of the syringe 40 applied with the security label 1 is improved.

In addition, the security label 1 can also be completely covered on the underside with an adhesive layer in order to allow the adhesive to be attached easily

To allow security labels 1 on an outer wall of the syringe 40. According to an alternative embodiment, the security label 1 can be completely on an underside be covered with an adhesive layer and have no non-adhesive area.

Alternatively, the security label 1 has on the underside of the first label section 10 and is spaced apart from it on an underside at the upper end 26 of the second

Label section 20 an adhesive layer. The two label sections 10, 20 are essentially delimited by the perforation 32. The adhesive-free area 30 can extend in the direction of the first and / or second label section 10, 20.

In this context, terms such as “above”, “below”, “above” and “below” refer to the illustrated figures and an operational arrangement or use of the security label 1 and the syringe 40, the upper, second label section 20 representing the upper, is assigned to the second part of the vessel or the syringe cap 42, which is removed to open the syringe 40.

FIGS. 1B and IC each show a side view of the security label 1 in schematic representations

applied to the syringe 40, which on the upper,

sealed end 26 has a shape similar to a sugar bag. In the fully applied state, the security label 1 simultaneously forms a body label and a seal label with a label cap which is sealed in itself and which, for example, hermetically seals the syringe cap 42

encloses. In this way, a particularly reliable and secure protection against manipulation for the syringe 40 or another multi-part vessel can be realized and also a protective function for an ingredient against radiation and moisture effects and other influences to be provided. The security label 1 can be used for increased protection or due to

Documentation purposes can also be multi-layered and have additional layers.

The security label 1 is sealed above the syringe cap 42 along the edge line 27, for example by the end 26 having been glued and / or welded after the syringe cap 42 has been wrapped. Figure IC shows in

In comparison to FIG. 1B, a side view of the security label 1 essentially rotated by 90 °.

The perforation 32 is preferably formed in an area of the security label 1 which, in an applied state provided for this purpose on the syringe 40, corresponds to the area between the syringe cap 42 and the syringe body 41. A geometry of the security label 1, in particular a width and length of the respective label sections 10, 20 is preferably designed to match the geometry of the syringe 40, so that the security label 1 realizes, for example, an all-round or an all-round label.

Figures ID and IE each show schematic

Side views of the top end 26 of the sealed

Security labels 1, which compared to the
