Post Packaging Systems

A batch coding machine is the equipment that applies the batch codes, and often other variable information, such as date or LOT codes directly onto products and/or their packaging. This can be a printer (sometimes referred to as a coder) integrated onto a production line, or a dedicated off-line system that both feeds and prints onto the packaging before it is filled.

Traceability is crucial to protect and reassure consumers and to comply with legal requirements. Therefore, applying batch numbers is a mandatory part of the manufacturing process for all companies producing goods destined to be sold to consumers.
