Labels for IV refrigerated products

Hi all-
We have IV products that are refrigerated. Once the product comes out of the fridge, is labeled, and warms up a bit, the labels tend to fall off. How have others dealt with this?
Using another label manufacturer is not an option and our best solution is to use clear tape to secure the label.
We are an Epic facility and use the Seneca Medical labels with the detachable patient information.
Thanks -
