Colour-Changing Labels

Colour-changing labels are innovative adhesive labels that change colour in response to environmental elements such as temperature, UV exposure and pH levels. These labels provide real-time visual indicators of product freshness, safety and quality assurance, making them extremely valuable in industries such as food, medicines and cosmetics.

These labels are commonly used in temperature-sensitive packaging to monitor cold chain logistics and ensure products stay within safe temperature ranges. In the pharmaceutical industry, they help detect potential spoilage, whereas in cosmetics, they signal exposure to dangerous UV radiation. Their capacity to provide fast feedback boosts consumer confidence and regulatory compliance.
