Applying identification on solid dosage drug products can be necessary from the point of regulatory compliance, patient safety and brand protection. Identification marking on tablets, capsules and softgels prevents medication errors, ensures traceability and protects against counterfeiting.
The choice of marking technology often causes confusion. With large volumes and high speed requirements an added factor is the ability to inspect every printed logo and reject individual products at high speeds.
What is clear from our experience is that the winning formula has two components:
- Effective material handling when the product transfers through the machine, irrespective of the choice of the marking mechanism.
- Inspection of the marking and single product rejection at high mechanical speeds.
