Marking pharmaceutical packaging

Many drugs and medications are packaged in card boxes, which must be marked with an array of information for traceability purposes. The laser ablates the inked coating on the card, resulting in very high quality and easily legible marks. Variable information such as manufacturing dates, batch codes, barcodes, QR and 2D Data Matrix codes can be applied on the production line, on the fly, with the information being updated continuously as required.

The laser marking process is quick, clean, and reliable. Marks are indelible and tamper-proof, and consumable costs are effectively non-existent once the laser coder is installed. This makes laser coding an attractive alternative to traditional ink-based technologies.
