Temperature Indicating Labels

Monitor temperature changes quickly and accurately

Validate your product has remained in safe storage and transport temperature range. Temperature monitoring labels are used to measure and record excursions should they occur at the shipment, package, or product level. These indicators change or darken in color to indicate a temperature excursion. 

High Temperature Indicators

High Temperature Ascending (HTA) indicators clearly reveal if your product has been exposed to high temperatures. A permanent visual color change from white to red clearly indicates if your product was exposed to temperatures that could cause them to be ineffective or unsafe.

ATI manufactures high temperature indicators for rising temperatures with response as low as 25°C and as high as 230°C. With a clear indication through color change, you will know your product has reached a critical temperature.

Standard Solutions

Chemical temperature indicators with color change from white to red to designate excursion. A QR Code allows
the unit to be scanned to create a digital record of
the excursion.

Freeze Indicating Labels

ATI’s irreversible indicator labels support descending temperatures between 15°C and -8°C. With a distinct color change at the designated threshold, you will know your product has been exposed to a temperature that could affect its efficacy or quality. We offer freezing temperature indicators printed to be applied at the product level or self-adhesive labels applied at the carton or pallet level, giving you clear indication if your product has been exposed to cold or freezing temperatures.

    Dual Temperature Monitoring

    ATI ascending and descending indicators can be applied together on a card to ensure a product stayed within a temperature range. An ascending indicator can have a response temperature as low as 25°C
    and as high as 216°C. Our descending indicators have response temperatures between 15°C and -8°C. When combined on one card, you will know if your product reached both the highest temperature or
    lowest temperature.

    Color Changing Solutions

    ATI’s liquid crystal temperature labels use color change to indicate temperatures or temperature ranges. This is an easy-to-read and precise temperature label indicator that can be customized to the shape and size that fits your specific needs. Solutions range from -9°C up to 65°C. Drug testing, medical device, pharmaceutical and industrial companies rely on ATI liquid crystal thermometers when accuracy and reliability matter most.

    Reversible Temperature Indicating Labels

    ATI’s unique ascending resettable ViziRev™ solution is the perfect indicator when storage and use temperatures are different. ViziRev provides visual indicaton that a product has gone from cold to warm and back to cold or freezing temperatures. ViziRev technology can be integrated into your existing product labels, used in conjunction with a printed card, or be applied in a custom fashion to suit your specific product needs. This unique temperature monitoring label can repeatedly transition from one image to another during temperature changes, providing a clear indication and continuous temperature monitoring.

    Stability Budget & Shelf Life

    How long can a pharmaceutical product be exposed to temperatures outside the recommended storage conditions? From clinical trials to vaccines, drug and specimen management when handling the delivery of tissue and biologics, the establishment of a stability budget and shelf life knowledge are critical.

    ATI manufactures solutions to protect your product when a potential temperature excursion can’t be avoided. Temperature indicating labels allow for continuous temperature monitoring to ensure a clear conclusion to the conditions a product
    has been exposed to during storage, in transit, and to the last mile.

    Easily Identify Excursions

    Temperature indicating labels are designed to provide a clear visual indication and continuous monitoring for the temperature range that fits your product profile.

    Our ATI temperature labels record a permanent, irreversible, or reversible reading for the reader to quickly understand if a high temperature or low temperature was attained, allowing for easy identification of temperature excursions.

    How do temperature indicating labels work?

    These one-time use indicators undergo a chemical change when they reach their rated temperature. Typically, once a temperature range is defined, a melting point is set that triggers a chemical reaction to produce a permanent color change. Available as an adhesive strip or as a label, the color of the chemistry provides a clear indication of whether the temperature has fallen below or exceeded a rated threshold as defined. It can also be used to provide proof of an attained temperature range.

    Critical applications for Temperature Labels

    To the point of care

    From manufacturing to the last mile, knowing that your product has been effectively monitored throughout the supply chain is the end-to-end visibility and ease of use that comes from using a temperature indicating label.

    Direct to The consumer

    Temperature indicating labels can monitor product ingredients or the product for both high and low temperatures, including freezing and high-temperature indicators, or both forms of indication with the proper indicating label.

    For the medical industry

    Quickly determine if your product has stayed within its specific stability budget through delivery.  With the ability to create the right label for your product, increasing stability profile and budget is at the core of our temperature monitoring solutions.

    Data is in the numbers

    Our Variot temperature indicating labels are printed with QR Codes, allowing the viewer to find your website, read and verify quality analysis records, the Certificate of Conformance file, and other documents right from the label.

    When paired with ATI’s FREE app service, CAVU HUB, data is at your fingertips 24/7, anywhere
    in the world.
