From "poisonous milk powder" to "problem vaccine", "cross-border counterfeit drugs" to "Internet counterfeit drugs", the endless stream of food and drug safety issues continue to challenge consumers. Laser marking has special significance for anti-counterfeiting and safety traceability of medicines.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce's statistical system, the total sales of seven major categories of pharmaceutical products nationwide in 2015 were 16,613 billion yuan, of which pharmaceutical sales dominated, with sales accounting for 74.2% of the total sales of seven major categories of pharmaceutical products. It can be seen from this that the rigid social demand has led to the continued expansion of the Chinese pharmaceutical market, but with it comes the frequent occurrence of drug safety issues, which has aroused people's attention.
In the process of R&D, production, circulation and use, drugs will pass the strict requirements and regulations before they can play their normal role. Among them, the production date, production batch number, main ingredients, scope of application, shelf life and other information are important sources of drug counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting and traceability. Laser marking can print all kinds of text, symbols and patterns, etc. The character size can be on the order of millimeters to microns, which has special significance for the anti-counterfeiting and safety traceability of drugs.
Laser marking is a marking method that uses high-energy-density laser to irradiate the workpiece locally to vaporize or chemically change the color of the surface material, thereby leaving a permanent mark. At present, the application of laser marking technology in the pharmaceutical industry mainly focuses on the following two aspects:
Marking of pharmaceutical packaging materials
Pharmaceutical packaging materials refer to the materials used to manufacture packaging containers, packaging and decoration, packaging printing, packaging transportation, etc. to meet product packaging requirements. The use of packaging materials for different types of drugs is also different. The pharmaceutical industry pays attention to safety and hygiene, and has very high requirements on product labeling.
