Brand Protection with Package Inspection

Compliance and traceability improve patient safety and reduce liability exposure

Regardless of the products being made, packaging affects consumer perception of quality and value. If the wrong item is in a package, or a defective product ships, customer satisfaction and brand image are impacted. Manufacturers that make package compliance and traceability a priority achieve a significant competitive advantage.

Compliance, traceability and authentication

Uniquely coding each lot, batch, or individual item to identify time and location of production can help you achieve more efficient and less costly recalls.

Process Control and Supply Chain Management

The better and more precise the track and trace system, the faster you can identify and resolve problems. If profit margins are narrow, reduced manufacturing and supply chain costs can often be the difference between profit and loss.
