Pharmaceutical packaging demands precise, legible, verifiable codes — expiration dates, lot and batch numbers, and increasingly 2D Data Matrix codes for traceability and serialization.
Thermal inkjet (TIJ) prints sharp, high-resolution text and GS1-grade Data Matrix codes with native variable data, so each pack can carry its own lot, expiry, and serial. It runs cleanly on cartons, labels, and many surfaces with minimal maintenance. Serialization and track-and-trace requirements vary by market and are complex — tell us your program and we will help you scope a compliant coding setup.
Share your product, substrate, and line speed and we’ll recommend the right setup.
Typically an expiration date and a lot/batch number, plus a 2D Data Matrix code that can carry the product identifier (GTIN), batch, expiration, and a serial number for traceability and authentication.
Yes. Thermal inkjet prints high-resolution, GS1-grade Data Matrix codes with variable data. Because serialization and track-and-trace rules differ by region and are complex, we recommend scoping the full requirement with our team before specifying equipment.
