Digital Print Technology
Digital print technology offers a range of customization options,
enabling pharmaceutical companies to produce packaging materials tailored
to their specific needs. This can include custom sizes and shapes, unique
designs, and the ability to print variable data such as lot numbers, expiration
dates, and product information. In this case the required UPI QR code was
easily managed through the same print production run on each carton.
