Bioneer Equips 9 COVID-19 Test Kit Production Lines with HERMA Labelers
HERMA GmbH, a Germany-based provider of labeling machinery and self-adhesive labels and materials to the global packaging marketplace, has been selected by leading Korea biotechnology company Bioneer as labeling provider for its extensive COVID-19 test kit production operations. At Bioneer’s facility in Deajeon, South Korea, HERMA Basic applicators are in place on nine packaging lines, applying 300mm-long top labels for product identification and tamper evidence, as well as a label on the side of the kit’s box.
Notably, the initiative involved a tight labeling window, meaning that the labeling system needed to be highly accurate. And given the ongoing pandemic’s urgency, the project was expedited as well as customized: the product handling systems into which the applicators are integrated were designed and installed in a short timeframe by Hanshin Labelling, HERMA’s sales partner in the Republic of Korea.
