Packaging, Labeling & Expiry Management for Fiberglass Cast Tapes

Robust packaging, compliant labeling, and disciplined expiry control are core to consistent quality and traceability of fiberglass casting tapes for domestic and export markets. This guide outlines practical choices for barrier materials, on-pack information, and FEFO-based inventory control.

1) Packaging Basics: Moisture/Oxidation Protection

• Primary pouch: multilayer foil with low MVTR and uniform heat-seal; prevents pre-use moisture pickup.
• Add-ons: approved desiccant with “do not eat” warning; kept separate from the roll.
• Secondary pack: humidity-tolerant carton for unit/carton stacking and transport.
• Seal integrity: routine leak and seal-strength checks on sampled units.

2) Label Content & Symbols

• Identifiers: product name, width/length, resin grade, LOT, DOM, EXP (uniform format such as YYYY-MM), and UDI/barcode for traceability.
• Storage: 15–30°C and RH <60%; away from sunlight/heat sources.
• Safety & IFU highlights: water activation with lukewarm water, molding window, skin/heat precautions, and reference to full IFU.
• Standard symbols: expiry, lot, storage conditions, single-use, and other common medical device symbols.

3) Expiry Management & Inventory Rotation

• FEFO: first-expiry-first-out with clear color/date tags.
• Record system: batch traceability across purchase/production/sales; near-expiry alerts.
• Periodic audits: monitor RH/temperature, check roll softness and pouch seal condition.
• Storage & transport: dry pallets; use temperature/RH data loggers on long routes.

4) Shelf-Life Setting & Re-verification

• Validation plan: verify gel time, interlaminar bonding, and roll pliability during the claimed shelf life.
• Post-market feedback: feed field quality data back into documents and corrective actions.

5) Handling Near- or Post-Expiry Units

• Near expiry: limit distribution to fast-turn channels or temporarily hold shipments.
• Expired: quarantine and scrap; training use only with clear non-clinical marking, outside the sales cycle.
