PRINTING, CODING & MARKING
Why packaging coding matters? The purpose of coding and marking is to keep manufacturers, retailers and consumers informed about a product, its origin, authenticity and shelf-life. Coding and marking includes barcodes, serialisation codes, and expiry or ‘best by’ dates.

EET TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS
By printing barcodes and serialisation codes on every product manufactured, as well as on cartons used to transport these goods,
product owners can trace products moving through the supply chain. This enables anyone involved in the supply chain to identify individual lots, shipments and packages, informing them of a product’s source and where it is destined. This also allows brand owners to efficiently recall products if needed.
DELIVER ASSURANCE ON PRODUCT AUTHENTICITY In the pharmaceutical industry where counterfeiting is a major problem, brand owners use marking and coding to prove the authenticity of their products. This makes it possible for retailers, consumers and everyone involved in the supply chain to immediately trace a
product back to its point of origin. This way it can be tested for its legitimacy, safety in transit, sale or usage.
