Unimed Pharm aims to use the RFID labels in an effort to identify original drugs as opposed to counterfeits. The tags are round coils, 24mm in diameter, attached to the inside of the cap of the container with a permanent adhesive.
UPM Rafsec has company headquarters and R&D centre in Tampere, Finland, and a production plant in Jyvaskyla.
