Printing Options for What?

Label printing requires high-resolution technology to ensure text is legible, durable, and compliant with FDA regulations. Labels must be durable enough to remain readable throughout a product's lifecycle, which includes transit, storage, and consumer use.

Overview

Printing Options in SiCompounding allow you to configure label printing settings for two distinct types of pharmacy labels:

• Inventory Labels — For tracking medications, supplies, and equipment.
• Compounding Stock Labels — For sterile and non-sterile compounded medications.

Label requirements vary depending on the product type:

• Prescription drugs
• Over-the-counter (OTC) medications
• In-patient hospital use

Proper setup of printing options ensures accurate tracking, compliance with regulations, and quality output.
