Print batch and serial numbers
Unique identification for product safety, traceability and quality control
In many industries, especially in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, batch and serial numbers are essential for traceability and quality assurance. Batch numbers identify a group of products that have been manufactured under the same conditions, while serial numbers uniquely identify individual products. Correct labeling makes it possible to react quickly and specifically in the event of quality defects or recalls. Depending on the packaging material and production process, different marking technologies are used that can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines.

Legal requirements and product safety
In many industries - particularly in the food, pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors - batch and serial numbers are required by law. They enable complete traceability of products and help to ensure reliable compliance with quality standards.
Efficient recalls and quality management
In the event of production errors or contamination, a quick and targeted response is possible thanks to the clear labeling. Products can be easily traced and recalls can be carried out efficiently.
Optimize logistics and warehousing
Batch and serial numbers simplify warehouse management and support efficient logistics. The products are clearly identifiable, which improves allocation and tracking throughout the supply chain.

Challenges when printing batch and serial numbers
The marking of batch and serial numbers places high demands on precision and production reliability. In particular, integration into existing processes and the avoidance of misprints are crucial for reliable traceability.
Print variable data securely
Batch and serial numbers are variable data that is often generated in real time and fed directly into the production line. Errors in data processing or incorrect print settings can lead to entire batches becoming unusable.
Material-oriented technology selection
Depending on the packaging material - whether glass, metal, plastic or cardboard - the right technology must be used. The adhesion of the ink, the legibility of the codes and resistance to environmental influences play a key role here.
High production speed and readability
Modern production lines work at high cycle rates. Marking must be synchronized without slowing down the production flow. At the same time, the codes must be machine-readable and abrasion-resistant.

The CHROMOS way to the optimum solution
Material analysis and technology selection
Every product has specific requirements for batch and serial number marking. We analyze your production line, the packaging material and the production speed in order to select the right technology.
Secure integration and test prints
Before integration, we carry out test prints on original materials to check legibility and durability. In this way, we ensure that the serial numbers and batch codes are clear and abrasion-resistant.
Seamless integration into existing lines
Our systems are seamlessly integrated into your production processes - whether high-speed systems, clocked lines or manual processes. The marking runs synchronously and without production interruptions.
Long-term support and adjustments
We are also at your side after commissioning. In the event of material changes or process adaptations, we ensure that everything runs smoothly - flexibly and reliably.
