Frequently Asked Questions

Marking and Coding essentially refers to printing variable information such as batch code, batch number, QR code, MRP, manufacturing date, expiry date and more, on product packaging during the manufacturing process.

Marking and Coding on products have become extremely critical to the success of the entire supply chain and quality control process by helping big manufacturing firms identify, track and trace their products as well as prevent counterfeiting of goods.

In addition to the advantages of having proper Marking and Coding, printing such essential product details on any manufacturing product across sectors has mostly become a regulatory mandate by the government.
