Serialization and Track & Trace
Serialization and Track & Trace in the packaging department ensure product authenticity, safety, and regulatory compliance. Serialization assigns a unique, machine‑readable code—such as a barcode or 2D DataMatrix—to each saleable unit, carton, and pallet. This unique identifier allows every individual product to be distinguished from others. Track & Trace captures and records each product’s movement and status throughout packaging, warehousing, and distribution. By linking these events to the serialized codes, companies can monitor product flow, prevent counterfeiting, support recalls, and maintain transparent supply‑chain visibility. Together, they create an end‑to‑end digital audit trail of every packaged item.
