Expertise forseamless integrationOptimal coding solutions are part of a holistic approach topharmaceutical manufacturing, with the printer playing a smallbut integral role in addressing industry regulations. While physicalintegration remains a vital consideration, demand is increasingfor equipment that can handle more complex data managementresponsibilities without compromising product safety or legislativecompliance.Videojet solutions are designed with these requirements in mind,helping create serialized, human- and machine-readable codes toaddress pharmaceutical regulations. In addition, Videojet service andtechnical support teams help ensure that the installation is done rightand provides support throughout the life of the printer.Coding technologiesBlister/CartonerCoding may occur in several locations, eitherintegrated into the cartoner itself or on theoutfeed conveyor. Printing may also occurupstream of the cartoner on the primarypack as required.Laser Marking SystemsA beam of infrared light focused and steered with a seriesof carefully controlled small mirrors to create marks wherethe heat of the beam interacts with the packaging surface.Thermal Inkjet (TIJ)Ink-based, non-contact printing using heat and surfacetension to move ink onto a package surface. Generallyused to print 2D DataMatrix and other bar codes.Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)Fluid based, non-contact printing of up to five lines of text,linear and 2D bar codes, or graphics, printed on a varietyof packaging types via traversing systems.4Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)A digitally controlled printhead precisely melts ink from a ribbondirectly onto flexible films to provide high resolution, real-time printsLarge Character Marking (LCM)Ink-based, non-contact printing of tall codes, includingalphanumeric logos, and bar codes in large sizes primarily for casesLabel Printer Applicator (LPA)Prints and places labels of various sizes on multiplepackage types

Coding technologies for your packaging type:Printing applicationTIJParenteralsLaserCIJ Blister packs Cartons Bottles and tubesLabels Flexible materials Cases TTOLPALCM Checkweigher/Serialization moduleLeveraging a checkweigher’s precise materialhandling improves overall print and DataMatrixquality. The printer can generate its own codes orintegrate into a broader serialization solution.Side grip conveyorSimple coder integration with a side gripconveyor allows for marking of either visible orcovert codes on the top or bottom ofpharmaceutical bottles. Downstream codeverification can be easily accommodated whilethe bottle is engaged by the conveyor.5

Bottle labelerPrecise control facilitates high qualityalphanumeric and bar code printing on thelabel. Discrete codes can be applied to thebottles before or after label application.StarwheelConsistent code accuracy is critical for internaltraceability codes commonly placed on vials andampules. The highly precise motion of thestarwheel offers ideal material handling for thisapplication.ThermoformerPrecise mechanical and controls integrationhelps ensure high quality marking on web-basedmaterials, including blister lidding foils and otherbarrier films. Traversing solutions are availablefor thermal and continuous inkjet systems.6

ParenteralsHigh resolution coding evenin tight print windowsWhether being used for customer-facing information or bright stocking, coding injectableproducts is inherently challenging, given the small size and reduced radius of the packaging.Integrating the coding solution into OEM equipment provides improved product control,leading to higher quality human and machine readable codes. Videojet dedicatedpharmaceutical and OEM specialists can help you select the correct solution for yourapplication, whether it is plastic, glass or aluminum.Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)Laser Marking Systems Robust ink portfolio includingautoclave resistant, visible and UV inks Creates high resolution 2D codes onaluminum vial caps for internaltraceability Videojet high resolution printersenable more content in small spacessuch as flip tops, vial skirts, andsyringes Videojet offers multiple scan heads andprecision optics to achieve desired markquality7

Blister packsCoding solutions for thefast lanesBlister coding requires keeping pace with rapid linear speeds whilepotentially coding multiple lanes simultaneously. Codes need to fitinto small print areas and adhere throughout the life of theproduct. Videojet has the broadest portfolio of inkjet and laserprinters to meet your blister coding needs.8Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)Laser Marking SystemsThermal Inkjet (TIJ) Wide range of both dark and lightcolored inks for maximum contrast Creates permanent codes on a varietyof blister materials CleanFlowTM printheads resist inkbuild-up, lessening maintenancerequirements Large marking windows maximizeengagement time for coding multiplelanes simultaneously Four distinct printhead modelsfacilitate integration into blisterpacking equipment Patented Black Solvent ink ispurpose-built for blister foilapplications

CartonsUnlock track and tracecapabilitiesAs the most common saleable unit for pharmaceutical and medical products, carton coding iscritical for track and trace initiatives. Global regulations require up to 4 lines of text and a 2Dbar code, but code quality and line speeds cannot be compromised.
