Traceability: Giving every product an authentic identity
Traceability creates a value-adding and differentiating opportunity for package printers who are willing to invest in the necessary capabilities.
Certain traceability information will continue to be printed, debossed, or embossed at the point of packaging (for example, lot and date codes), but there is a wide range of applications where traceability can be most effectively implemented upstream at the packaging or label printer. In this case, traceability is implemented by pre-coding the packaging or label with a secure serial number—and using that serial number as a pointer to traceability information.
