In the pharmaceutical industry, precise and compliant package date coding and marking are essential to combat counterfeiting, ensure traceability, and maintain product integrity.
As a leading provider of marking and traceability solutions for pharmaceutical packaging, we understand the complexities and offer tailored services to meet these critical needs.
Effective date coding and marking serve multiple purposes:
Anti-Counterfeiting: Implementing unique identifiers helps prevent the distribution of counterfeit medications, safeguarding patient health.
Traceability: Accurate markings enable tracking of products throughout the supply chain, facilitating efficient recalls and quality control.
Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to industry standards and regulations ensures that products meet legal requirements, avoiding potential penalties.
We offer both direct and indirect marking solutions to accommodate various packaging materials and production environments:
Direct Marking: This method typically utilizes metal type or logodies to make a permanent, sunk impression into the package; hot melt ink rolls or foils can be added if color is preferred. It applies codes directly onto the packaging surface, ensuring durability and legibility.
Indirect Marking: Employing advanced inkjet printers, this technique allows for high-speed, non-contact application of variable data, suitable for diverse packaging types.
Several critical factors must be considered to ensure optimal marking quality and compliance:
Batch Data, Lot Sizes, and Information System Integration: Seamless integration with existing information systems is vital for managing batch data and varying lot sizes, ensuring accurate and consistent markings.
Traceability Requirements: Implementing serialization and aggregation processes enhances product traceability, aligning with regulatory mandates and industry best practices.
Line Speeds: Our automatic solutions are designed to operate efficiently at high line speeds, maintaining marking accuracy without compromising production throughput.
Package and Label Material: We tailor our marking technologies to suit various materials, including cartons, labels, and foils, ensuring compatibility and adherence.
Character Sizes and Fonts: Customizable character sizes and font styles are available to meet specific branding and regulatory requirements, enhancing readability and compliance.
Package date coding can be applied directly using metal type together with hot melt ink rolls or foils or indirectly using inkjet printers.
With a deep understanding of the pharmaceutical packaging landscape, we are dedicated to providing innovative marking solutions that address the industry's unique challenges.
Our commitment to quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction positions us as a trusted partner in ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products.
