Serialisation solution for pharma supply chain security

MM Pack­ag­ing, a sec­ondary pack­ag­ing sup­pli­er to the phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal indus­try, is sup­port­ing its cus­tomers clean up their seri­al­iza­tion and pro­tect their prod­ucts with the Clear Code anti-coun­ter­feit­ing tech­nol­o­gy. Clear Code is a pre-treat­ment or coat­ing applied to car­tons and labels that enables pre­cise pat­terns to be applied to the sub­strate using CO2, Fibre, or YAG laser ener­gy. This results in high con­trast secure cod­ing for phar­ma pack­ag­ing that avoids the need to direct­ly inscribe infor­ma­tion by instead using bespoke colour chang­ing technology.

This cod­ing sys­tem pro­duces codes that are com­plete­ly scuff and smudge resis­tant and are not sus­cep­ti­ble to envi­ron­men­tal degra­da­tion. Clear Code elim­i­nates the prob­lem of dust par­ti­cles in pack­ag­ing lines caused by abra­sion – pro­duc­ing safer work­ing con­di­tions – while also ensur­ing Clear Code has a wide sub­strate com­pat­i­bil­i­ty in the industry.

Rus­sell Hill, VP Sales and Inno­va­tion in MM Pack­ag­ing US, said: “Clear Code is a rev­o­lu­tion for phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal pack­ag­ing design. As a provider of phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal pack­ag­ing, we reg­u­lar­ly see busi­ness­es strug­gling with seri­al­i­sa­tion: from tech­nol­o­gy pro­duc­ing excess dust, to sus­tain­abil­i­ty agen­das push­ing you to use alter­na­tive meth­ods, or need­ing to use more effi­cient tech­nol­o­gy to improve your effi­cien­cy ratios, Clear Code is both a sus­tain­able and more cost-effec­tive seri­al­i­sa­tion solution.

“MM Pack­ag­ing acts as a part­ner to our cus­tomers through­out the pack devel­op­ment process, incor­po­rat­ing seri­al­i­sa­tion dur­ing the pack­ag­ing design stage to save time and mon­ey and opti­mise the down­stream pack­ag­ing pro­duc­tion process. We’re delight­ed to be able to offer this cut­ting-edge solu­tion and can’t wait to share its ben­e­fits with the wider industry.”
