Korea-Based Biotech Co. Outfits Nine COVID-19 Test Kit Lines with New Labelers

Bioneer is meeting test kit needs with applicators that apply 300mm-long top labels for product identification and tamper evidence.

The company opted for HERMA Basic applicators for 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.

With COVID-19 infection rates climbing, the need for test kits has increased dramatically, both for healthcare personnel and the general public. Our World in Data reports that new cases exceeded 2.5 million globally on Jan. 6, 2022—that figure was under 439,000 just one month prior.

Impossible to ignore, testing and distribution sites have made headlines for extreme lines and traffic jams, while at-home test kits have been in short supply in many markets. Prices have also risen in certain chains.

Bioneer is one company aiming to meet testing needs. The Korea-based biotech company sought a labeling provider for its extensive COVID-19 test kit production operations at its Deajeon, South Korea, facility. Challenges of the project included a short timeline (given the urgency of supplying test kits) as well as a particularly tight labeling window that necessitated a highly accurate labeling system.
