Pharmaceuticals

Package date coding and marking for pharmaceuticals becomes more and more important every day as a way to combat counterfeiting, track shipments, and verify born on dates. Package date coding can be applied directly using metal type together with hot melt ink rolls or foils, or indirectly using ink jet printers.

Marking pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical packaging is affected by many factors:

• Batch data, lot sizes, and information system integration
• Traceability requirements
• Line speeds
• Package and label material
• Character sizes and fonts

Depending on the time available, quality specifications, mark type required and budget, there are a number of options for the marking of pharmaceutical packaging. Call us for more information.
