Coded Labeling Improves Product Safety, Combats Counterfeiting

Labeling and especially wrong labeling has become a major reason for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) complaints and recalls. One way to approach this challenge is to put a code onto each and every container, and to verify the codes between different steps of the value chain. Together with Frewitt Printing, this firm offers a unique laser-coding and code-verification system. A DataMatrix code is engraved directly on the barrel of a pre-filled glass syringe with a low-energy laser. Then, this code is verified by a high-performance vision system. The company sees this as another step to improve product safety and combat counterfeiting. — Seidenader Vision GmbH, Markt Schwaben, Germany
