5 Watt uv laser non-contact marking of medicines, safety escort

From “contaminated milk powder” to “problematic vaccines”, “cross-border sales of counterfeit drugs” to “Internet sales of counterfeit drugs,” endless food and drug safety issues continue to challenge consumers’ nerves. The laser marking has special significance for the anti-counterfeiting and safety traceability of medicines. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, the total sales of seven categories of pharmaceutical products nationwide in 2015 were 16,613 billion yuan, of which pharmaceutical sales dominated, accounting for 74.2% of the total sales of seven categories of pharmaceutical products. From this, it can be seen that the rigid demand of society has led to the continuous expansion of the Chinese drug market, but with it, the frequent occurrence of drug safety issues has attracted the attention of the people.

Laser marking is the use of high energy density laser to locally irradiate the workpiece

During the process of research and development, production, circulation, and use, medicines will go through strict requirements and specifications before they can play a normal role. Among them, the production date, production batch number, main ingredients, scope of application, shelf life and other information are important sources for drug counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting, and root tracing. Laser marking can produce a variety of characters, symbols and patterns, etc., and the size of the characters can range from millimeters to micrometers, which is of special significance for anti-counterfeiting and safety traceability of medicines.

Laser marking is a marking method that uses high-energy-density lasers to locally irradiate the workpiece to vaporize or change the color of the surface material, thereby leaving a permanent mark. At present, the application of laser marking technology in the pharmaceutical industry is mainly concentrated in the following two aspects:

Marking of pharmaceutical packaging materials

Pharmaceutical packaging materials refer to materials used to meet product packaging requirements such as manufacturing packaging containers, packaging decoration, packaging printing, packaging and transportation. Different medicines use different packaging materials. The pharmaceutical industry pays attention to safety and health, and has very high requirements for product marking.

Traditional packaging materials use printing technology to uniformly print the drug information on the packaging materials in advance before packaging. However, the printing technology mainly uses ink printing, and the ink is a volatile substance, the quality is difficult to guarantee and contains chemical residues; in addition, the ink is easy to apply, allowing criminals to take advantage of it, and it is difficult to trace the source.

Laser marking is a non-contact and pollution-free marking method

Laser marking is a non-contact and pollution-free marking method. It can not only meet the use of multiple packaging materials, but also all the information marked on drug packaging materials cannot be easily erased and tampered with. It is anti-counterfeit and ensures all circulating drug information It is traceable, as long as there is a problem in any link, the source of the problem can be inquired by the relevant code.

Information mark of the drug itself

Laser marking technology can mark materials such as metal, plastic, wood, etc., and the scope of this marking has been extended to the field of medicines. Mark the specifications and models on the medicine to make it a part of the medicine itself.

Laser marking provides anti-counterfeiting labels and information storage for drugs

For example, capsule marking. The previous marking method for the medicine capsules we eat is ink printing. Ink printing is to directly touch the ink on the capsule. Although these inks are small, they have direct damage to the human body. Laser marking technology can engrave text and pictures on drug capsules, effectively avoiding ink pollution. at the same time. Compared with traditional ink printers, laser marking does not require any consumables, and the printed medicines have no toxic side effects.

In short, laser marking provides anti-counterfeiting labels and information storage for medicines, ensuring the safety of medicines, and saving the cost of ink and other consumables for manufacturers.

Laser technology helps the safe traceability of medicines

2016 is an important year for the transformation, upgrading, and innovative development of the pharmaceutical distribution industry. The "Internet +" business model and cross-border integration will become an important means of drug safety traceability. The Internet + laser technology will use big data as an important means to improve the safety of medicines.

Because the laser marking technology marks on medicines, it has stable reliability and durability. The marked information is clear and intuitive, has strong corrosion resistance, and is not easy to be altered and erased, which well protects the anti-counterfeiting of pharmaceutical products. From an economic point of view, laser marking technology greatly improves work efficiency, not only saving labor costs, but also saving a lot of time.

Using "Internet +", with big data and cloud computing as the starting point, as long as the drug labeling information is used, the production, circulation, and use information of drugs can be inquired through Internet technology. Make up for the shortcomings of the pharmaceutical circulation industry in the provision of public products and services. Such as the quality and safety of the circulation link, the supply of rural and remote areas, the supply of low-priced medicines and small varieties, the reserve of emergency medicine and equipment for disaster prevention and epidemic prevention, and the improvement of pharmaceutical service capabilities.
