The Drug Quality and Security Act will require a unit level traceability system for pharmaceutical products. What will this mean for your pharmaceutical business? Read our article to find out how to mark your packaging, label cases and pallets.
Marking a code directly into the material of a part allows traceability throughout its entire lifecycle. Some compliance standards, like MIL-STD-130 or UDI, require permanent markings. Lasers have been used to mark parts and products in industries for many years. Read our primer to find out a bit more about this type of marking. 
Linerless labels have some advantages over traditional labels, such as less waste and more labels per roll. If you are looking at linerless labels for your application, then read about the ways to print these labels.   
The datamatrix code is the code of choice in most industries for marking small parts. Find out more about this useful code and see exactly how much data it can actually hold.
