Tablet imprinting is sometimes necessary for ensuring precise identification, brand differentiation and regulatory compliance. However a tablet’s shape, dimensions and surface lubricity significantly impacts the ability to effectively imprint ink logos on them.
In practice it is found that many tablets do not lend themselves well to imprinting of logos at high speeds and often lead to high rejections due to improper/incomplete logos, improper centering of logos, printing on sides of tablets and tablet breakage.
Many of these printing issues are related to the actual physical attributes of the tablet itself. This needs to be understood and addressed during the drug development phase itself to save on rejection related costs during commercial production.
