Why packaging coding matters

Coding and marking includes barcodes, serialisation codes, and expiry or ‘best by’ dates. Their purpose is to keep manufacturers, retailers and consumers informed about a product, its origin, authenticity and shelf-life.  

There are three main reasons why this is important:

China\\\\\\\’s green agriculture breakthrough

To meet traceability requirements

By printing barcodes and serialisation codes on every product manufactured, as well as on cartons used to transport these goods, product owners can trace products moving through the supply chain. This enables anyone involved in the supply chain to identify individual lots, shipments and packages, informing them of a product’s source and where it is destined. This also allows brand owners to efficiently recall products if needed.

To deliver assurance on product authenticity

In the pharmaceutical industry where counterfeiting is a major problem, brand owners use marking and coding to prove the authenticity of their products. This makes it possible for retailers, consumers and everyone involved in the supply chain to immediately trace a product back to its point of origin. This way it can be tested for its legitimacy, safety in transit, sale or usage.  

To provide information about product freshness

Consumers check the expiry, ‘best-by’ and ‘use-by’ dates on products to ensure these are safe and fresh to consume. These markings help consumers to derive maximum value from their basket of goods, as well as to reduce food waste.
