What IL Group will Showcase at BIO 2026
IL Group will highlight its multi‑functional labeling solutions, designed to address several key challenges in today’s pharmaceutical landscape:
- Product protection against physical damage and light exposure
- Occupational safety through VPP (Vial Protective Packaging), reducing exposure to hazardous drugs
- Ultra‑low temperature labeling for biologics, ensuring stability throughout cold‑chain storage and distribution
These technologies are positioned as essential tools that help maintain drug quality and support safe, reliable distribution across global markets.

Integration with Automation and Manufacturing Solutions
In addition to labeling materials, IL Group will introduce its SMCL Series of automatic labeling machines, designed for highly flexible operations.
They are particularly well‑suited for:
- CDMOs
- 503B outsourcing facilities
- Biotech companies managing diverse product pipelines
Key capabilities include efficient multi-product, small-lot operations, automatic changeovers that reduce downtime and operator workload, and seamless compatibility between labeling materials and equipment.
Through these offerings, IL Group aims to explore new collaborations with CDMOs and pharmaceutical manufacturers while demonstrating scalable approaches that align with evolving production models.
