  • Patent number: 10702452
    Abstract: A packaging system includes a container having a closed end an open end, a longitudinal axis running through the closed end and the open end, and an outer surface. A closure assembly fitted to the open end of the container has an access port. The system also includes a detachable cap disposed over the access port, and a label disposed about the container, characterized in that the label has a first region angled relative to the longitudinal axis, which first region consists essentially of a name of an injectable drug product, and a second region angled relative to the longitudinal axis, which second region consists essentially of a concentration of the injectable drug product, whereby the said first and second regions are angled such as to lie in planes that make non-zero as well as non-right angles with the longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 9463138
    Abstract: A packaging system includes a vial with a rim about an upper open end, and a neck between a lower closed end and the rim. The vial contains a pharmaceutical product. A valve is disposed over the open end, and a crimp ring is disposed over the valve with an opening defining an access port. A detachable cap is disposed over the access port. A single tubular label is disposed about the vial, and extends only from a first edge aligned with the closed end to a second edge at the cap. The label has first and second sections separated by a single circumferential perforated boundary aligned with the neck. The first section is backed with an adhesive and attached to the outer vial surface, and extends between the closed end and the boundary. The second section extends at least between the boundary and the cap.
