There are several reasons why product owners need to print marks and codes on their product packaging, cartons and so forth. These include:
Meeting traceability requirements: By printing barcodes and serialisation codes on every product that is manufactured, as well as the cartons that are used to transport these goods, product owners can trace their products as they move through the supply chain. This enables anyone who is involved in the supply chain to identify individual lots, shipments and packages – telling them where the products have come from and where they are destined. This also allows product owners to quickly recall products if they need to.
Ultimately, the purpose of marking and coding is to keep everyone in the supply chain, retailers and shoppers 100% informed about the product – providing details on its origins, authenticity and freshness.
