With the Quanta™ pen, SHL Medical has introduced a new injector platform that has been developed for weight management therapies. The multi-dose platform device addresses central requirements of modern long-term therapies. Schreiner MediPharm has complemented the Quanta™ pen with a multifunctional and perfectly fitting label solution.

Platform for Exacting Requirements
SHL Medical is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of self-injection solutions headquartered in Switzerland. The Quanta™ pen was developed specifically for cardio-metabolic long-term therapies and addresses key aspects such as intuitive handling, consistent dosing performance, efficient operational costs, and sustainability. The automatic spring-driven mechanism with fixed dose setting reduces injection preparation steps and supports a steady injection rhythm—an important prerequisite for medication adherence and patient safety in the case of weekly use.

Short Time to Market
To satisfy the rapidly growing demand for weight management medications, reliable system solutions are crucial. The combination of a platform pen and functional label offers precisely that advantage. Schreiner MediPharm developed a perfectly fitting label that adopts SHL Medical’s branding while integrating added functional value. An anti-slip varnish improves grip and supports safe handling while a holographic effect serves as an overt security feature and enhances the design. The pen plus label facilitates fast integration into pharmaceutical manufacturing thus supporting shorter time to market.

Connectivity and Differentiation
As a special feature, a label-integrated NFC chip enables a wide range of options for digital applications and easy interaction with the end user. Content such as product information, user guidance, or service offerings can be conveniently read via smartphone. In addition, the functional label provides further options for customized differentiation. Additional security, design, or functional elements can be integrated as needed to specifically adapt the pen to the brand, application, or market strategy.
This co-marketing project is a case in point showing how two leading experts pool their expertise to functionally and digitally extend platform devices in combination with specialty labels.
