In the pharmaceutical market, in order to eliminate medical errors, anti-counterfeiting, and enhanced traceability, it is often required to mark tablets and capsules with precise details about the drug, dose, origin, and patient.
This requires the use of rich symbolic data, such as machine-readable 2D encoding. This coding requirement can be placed in a very small area and is more accurate than traditional marks.
A Datalase "edible ingredient" approved by the United Kingdom Patent was introduced by Sherwood Technology, which is used in tablet pharmaceuticals and candy packaging. With CO2 lasers, Datalase "edible ingredients" can mark more products. The adjuvants are in the form of a dry powder or an aqueous solution that is applied to the surface of the product through a spray system and then marked with a low-power carbon dioxide laser.
