Why Handwritten Labels Still Matter - And How We’re Making Them Better
In a world of high-speed automation and digital tracking, it’s easy to overlook the value of a simple handwritten label. But for many industries, especially in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and lab environments, handwritten labels continue to offer unique benefits that modern printing can’t always match.
At Romark, we recently partnered with TEVA Pharmaceuticals to deliver a clean, durable handwritten label design, combining traditional flexibility with modern durability. Here’s why this labelling method still earns its place and how we’re helping our customers make it even better...
When TEVA approached us, they needed a label that was:
-
Visibly branded, yet minimal
-
Writable by hand, without needing on-site printers
-
Laminated for protection, to withstand lab conditions
-
Cost-effective
We delivered a laser-printed label with their branding pre-applied, leaving space for handwritten input. Laminated for durability, this solution allowed lab teams to quickly and confidently fill in key information, without relying on thermal transfer printers or pre-programmed templates.
Why Choose Handwritten Labels?
Though often underrated, handwritten labels continue to offer meaningful advantages:
1. On-the-Spot Flexibility
Need to label something immediately? No need to fire up a printer. Just write and apply. This is especially useful for environments with rapid changes, batch variability, or mobile teams.
2. No Equipment Needed
Handwritten labels are ideal for remote sites, warehouses, or fieldwork where label printers aren’t practical or available.
3. Cost-Effective Simplicity
For operations with lower label volumes, handwritten options eliminate the overhead of maintaining print equipment or buying ribbons and consumables.
4. Durability When It Matters
Our laminated handwritten labels protect against abrasion, chemical exposure, and general wear, ensuring vital information stays readable over time.
