Effective coding, labeling and packaging solutions
The pharmaceutical industry operates in a highly regulated environment, requiring many specific requirements. On one side is the health of consumers and therefore the important characteristics of labels and packaging are related to providing accurate and clearly visible information about the pharmaceutical name, ingredients, origin, method of storage, expiry date, etc. But just this type of identification is not enough. The industry requires traceability and integrity to be guaranteed all along the supply chain. Pharmaceutical and medical packaging, perhaps more than any other industry, necessitates the highest quality labeling. However, marking solutions must also improve productivity and seamlessly integrate into today's complex production lines. In addition to strict legal requirements for security, traceability and identification, printers and / or labeling systems must meet high standards of product hygiene and safety.
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
We at Betelgeus know that fast market access and cost optimization are critical for pharmaceutical companies. Coding and marking in the pharmaceutical industry is not an option; it's mandatory. The right solution helps to protect brands, manage the supply chain, aid quick product recalls and deliver an overall better experience to the consumer.
