What Are LOMEL® Labels?
LOMEL® Labels are specialized batch-inclusion labels made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer film. These labels are engineered to melt seamlessly into rubber compounds during the mixing process, ensuring complete integration without affecting the final product’s integrity.
In the rubber compounding and manufacturing industry, precise ingredient tracking is essential for maintaining quality, compliance, and production efficiency. Paragon Data Systems’ patented LOMEL® Labels and Tags provide a seamless traceability solution, ensuring accurate ingredient validation while eliminating contamination risks.
EFFICIENT LOT TRACEABILITY AND VALIDATION:
OUR BATCH INCLUSION AND LABELING SYSTEM TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
When it comes to mixing rubber, properly identifying and validating ingredient bags before they are added to the rest of the batch prevents scrap dispersal and lost productivity, saving tens of thousands of dollars per year. Even pre-filled bags need to be correctly identified and recorded in case of a recall. Paragon’s LOMEL® labels are the ultimate material to ensure compliant and accurate chemical labeling.
SYSTEM HARDWARE
The Zebra ZT610 printer thrives in harsh environments and is ideal for high-volume applications like batch-inclusion bag labeling. This printer easily produces high-resolution text, graphics, and scannable barcodes.
PRINTING SOFTWARE
Paragon can help you integrate the printer with your existing systems or provide you with a stand-alone solution to print the LOMEL® labels with the exact information you require.
BATCH INCLUSION LABELS AND TAGS
The EVA film melts at 72-77C to become an integral part of the mix. They even work on bags intended for applications with low temperature mixing below 90°C and are ideal for the second pass cycle.

DATA COLLECTION
In addition to collecting and validating ingredient data, many companies need a solution to manage inventory for lot traceability and recall management. By integrating an inventory management system, Paragon can build a complete turnkey solution.
Capturing detailed information about every batch’s mix of ingredients gives you full visibility into your operations, and allows you to trace finished products back to their source chemicals. Using a tool like the rugged Zebra TC8000 handheld computer is a great way to integrate data collection capabilities.

HOW AN INDUSTRY LEADER HARNESSED THEIR UNICORN & ELIMINATED HUMAN ERROR
“How can I put it in words? When you put a barcode on the bag, it makes everything more accurate. If a guy on the line scans a bag, and it’s wrong, it gives him a red screen and saves the batch from contamination. When the system spits out a label, it asks for a tracking number. If a customer has an issue six months down the line, we can go back and reference that number. We’ve done many things internally to eliminate human error, but the combination of the Lomel bag and the Lomel Label is the best. I think it’s a tremendous product.”

LOMEL®: The Ultimate Solution for Batch Traceability
The patented LOMEL® label was designed to eliminate common challenges in rubber compounding and ingredient validation. Made from the same EVA 160 material as Lomel® bags, these labels seamlessly integrate into the mixing process without contamination, ensuring precision, efficiency, and full traceability.
How LOMEL® Labels Work
- Integrated Labeling – The LOMEL® label is directly affixed to pre-filled ingredient bags, providing a seamless identification system.
- On-Demand Printing – Labels are printed in both barcode and human-readable formats, ensuring clear and accurate tracking.
- Error Prevention – Barcode scanners verify ingredient accuracy before mixing, preventing costly formulation mistakes.
- Zero Contamination – Unlike traditional paper labels or RFID tags, LOMEL® labels melt and disperse completely with the bag, ensuring mix purity.
Beyond Labeling – Automated Traceability
Paragon doesn’t just improve ingredient labeling; we provide a comprehensive traceability solution. By automatically capturing and storing ingredient data, LOMEL® labels support batch validation, recall management, and compliance tracking.
