Clear artwork. Controlled versions.
Give the product name, strength, batch information and supporting print a defined place. Work from client-approved artwork and distinguish similar variants when changing versions and packing.
01 / Healthcare cartons
Clear information.
Clear coding.
Paper cartons for medicines and medical supplies, with accompanying printed information. Connect artwork, carton structure, coding and code checks around your packaging and traceability requirements.
01 / THE CONTEXT
Understand the product.
Then define the package.
A medicine carton needs to fit its contents and make the product name, strength and key information easy to read. For traceability coding, content, placement and scanning conditions belong in the prepress brief, so the information and carton work together.
Reserve the code area early.
Agree on coding rules, size and placement at prepress. Consider contrast, quiet zones and scanning conditions alongside the paper surface and finish.
Fit the contents and packing process.
Review folds, glue areas, tuck flaps and leaflet space against the existing inner pack or medical product. Check loading and removal in the sample and align with downstream packing.
02 / MATERIAL. STRUCTURE. PRINT.
Every detail.
For the product.
Start with client-approved artwork and coding rules. Agree on paper, layout, code area and structure before connecting printing, die-cutting, gluing, coding and code checks with the client’s traceability process.

CODING / PROJECT CONNECTIONS
Connect the code to the project.
Coding and code checks belong alongside the client’s coding rules, packaging levels and handover requirements. Agree on these connections at the start of the project.
- 01
Agree on the source.
The client confirms the source of the codes, data files, packaging levels and artwork version. For medicines, align with the marketing authorisation holder or manufacturer’s requirements.
- 02
Plan for clear printing.
Consider the paper surface, print and finish when placing the code, clear of folds and die-cut edges. Coding and inspection focus on complete characters, symbols and readability.
- 03
Define acceptance together.
Agree on checks, exception handling, quantity reconciliation and records. Confirm capabilities, responsibilities and acceptance criteria for duplicate-code checks, aggregation or system interfaces when required.
Drug traceability codes uniquely identify sales packaging units at each level; a code for each carton does not mean a code for every tablet. Medical-device UDI follows separate rules and the registrant’s or filing entity’s confirmed requirements.
