Printing, Labeling, and Bar Coding

Whether printing information on a medical device or its packaging, proper equipment, services, and supplies suitable for medical use are required. Hot-stamping, laser marking, pad-printing, screen-printing, and ink-jet printing can contribute to completion of this step. Labeling equipment can apply the correct date, inspection, or verification information onto the products. Tamper-evident, self-adhesive, laminated, and sequentially numbered labels help to achieve this goal as well. Bar coding equipment and supplies, including scanners, printers, encoders, and labels, facilitate delivery and traceability.
