Labels and packaging: For European markets - Tata Surgical

Good packaging protects the instrument and carries the information hospitals need. For private label products, it also shows your brand.

This is general guidance. Check the exact labelling rules for your products with a regulatory specialist.

Information usually on labels

  • Product name and item code
  • Manufacturer details and, where needed, the authorised representative
  • Lot or batch number
  • Quantity
  • Standard symbols, such as “manufacturer”, “lot”, “do not reuse” for single-use items
  • UDI where required
  • CE marking where it applies

Languages

Many EU countries require labels or instructions in their national language. Plan multilingual labels if you sell in several countries.

Packaging types

  • Individual poly bags with a label
  • Boxes for sets or multiples
  • Sterile peel pouches for single-use items
  • Protective tip caps for delicate instruments

Instructions for use

Reusable instruments need cleaning and sterilisation instructions. These can be printed or provided in electronic form where permitted.
