Company inaugurates segregated 7,000-sq-ft space with a new back-number system and its third 100% inspection platform.
Lakewood, NJ – Luminer, a labeling solutions provider specializing in extended content
labels (ECLs) for pharmaceutical ethical and OTC packaging, clinical trials and various other
narrow web applications for the cosmetics, F&B and chemicals sectors, has streamlined its
precision product inspection capabilities by introducing a dedicated 7,000-square-foot
inspection suite at its primary manufacturing facility in Lakewood, NJ. The quality
management segregation also comes with an infrastructure investment: the company has
added its third 100% inspection platform, as well as a back-number validation system.
The dedicated space will further improve Luminer’s comprehensive quality management
processes. In particular, it is designed to optimize QA/QC oversight for the company’s
specialty, extended content labels. Due to their inherently stacked, page-over-page nature,
ECLs pose unique inspection challenges requiring niche-specific solutions.
Luminer provides 100% label inspection – a must for its broad set of pharma customers. For
ECLs, this entails a complex process that involves, among other extra steps, precision vision
systems inspecting individual sheets prior to folding, glue line monitoring to ensure all ECL pages are affixed properly and in correct order, and final inspection initiatives such as
thickness monitoring to confirm label-on-label mounting veracity.
Luminer’s addition of a back-number validation system provides additional assurance for
pharma customers, by helping to ensure labels are matched to their proper individual
packages. Among other benefits, this helps simplify the label application process and, for
prescription products, lends to easier compliance with unit-level serialization
requirements.
“The new inspection suite helps reinforce Luminer as a medium-sized label manufacturer
with big-shop production and quality control capabilities,” said Tom Spina, President & CEO
of Luminer. “Extended content labels especially demand a thorough, multi-step inspection
process. The dedicated quality management space and new infrastructure will further
streamline our workflow, expediting turnaround time from initial quote to production to
delivery.”
Luminer recently incorporated a new extended content label production line, a seven-figure
investment that doubled its ECL manufacturing capacity. The new line’s exemplary
production speeds foster both efficiency and cost-effectiveness, ROIs that Luminer will be
able to pass on to customers.
