Coding & Marking for Cosmetics & Daily Care Products

Tamper-proof coding and seamless full-track traceability across the entire production and supply chain play a pivotal role within the cosmetics industry.
For cosmetics and personal care manufacturing, batch marking is routinely required on folding cartons, finished packaging, as well as glass and plastic containers; meanwhile, barcodes and 2D codes are directly printed onto finished goods.

Core Advantage: Product data can be embedded compactly within codes to save valuable packaging surface space.
