Pharmaceutical packaging requires accurate, stable, and fully traceable product identification. Batch numbers, lot codes, expiry dates, and DataMatrix marks must remain clear and compliant with GMP and global regulatory standards. To achieve this, manufacturers depend on coding technologies that deliver precision across cartons, blister films, vials, bottles, and medical plastics.
For paper cartons and label materials, thermal inkjet printers and TIJ-based systems provide high-resolution alphanumeric codes and 2D barcodes. For flexible films and aluminum foils commonly used in blister packaging, Thermal Transfer Printers and Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) ensure durable, smudge-resistant batch coding and date coding.
High-speed lines often prefer Continuous Inkjet Printers and industrial inkjet printers for variable data on curved or irregular surfaces, supporting fast-drying inks suited for pharmaceutical substrates. When operations require on-site rework or low-volume identification, handheld inkjet printers and portable inkjet devices offer flexible, efficient marking for outer packaging and logistics tasks.
For applications requiring permanent, tamper-proof coding, fiber laser, UV laser, and CO2 laser marking machines deliver precise, non-contact marks on vials, syringe parts, caps, blister aluminum, and medical plastics. Laser coding eliminates consumables and maintains long-term readability essential for traceability.
Across these categories, the industry offers many mature solutions—and manufacturers such as Meenjet also provide corresponding equipment options in TIJ, CIJ, TTO, handheld inkjet, and laser marking systems. This gives pharmaceutical companies a reliable set of technologies to match different packaging materials, line speeds, and compliance requirements.
By selecting suitable coding systems, pharma producers can ensure stable print quality, regulatory compliance, and full traceability throughout the supply chain, from production to patient delivery.
