MM Packaging issuing Clear Code anticounterfeiting technology to allow pharma customers improve their serialisation and anticounterfeiting activities.
Clear Code is a pre-treatment or coating applied to cartons and labels that enables precise patterns to be applied to the substrate using carbon dioxide, fibre or YAG laser energy. This results in high contrast secure coding for pharma packaging that removes the need to directly inscribe information by instead using bespoke colour changing technology. Moreover, this next-generation coding system is said to produce codes that are completely scuff and smudge resistant and are not susceptible to environmental degradation.
From a manufacturing perspective, Clear Code eliminates the problem of dust particles in packaging lines caused by abrasion whilst also giving wide substrate compatibility.
As a secondary packaging supplier to the pharmaceutical industry, Clear Code is allowing MM Packaging to provide its customers with a wide range of value-added security options, which when used alongside our other anticounterfeiting technologies, ‘deliver enhanced product oversight; throughout the pharma supply chain, while offering protection unmatched protection against simulation.’
Russell Hill, vice president of sales and innovation at MM Packaging US, commented, ‘Clear Code is a revolution for pharmaceutical packaging design. As a leading 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 more sustainable and more cost-effective than other serialisation solutions.’
Mr Hill added, ‘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.’
