Coding Systems for Medical Device Packaging

Code Tech inkjet coding solutions for medical devices are designed to help you comply with the FDA's UDI (Unique Device Identification) and track and trace initiatives.

Our inkjet printers print high-quality, consistent serialization barcodes, date codes and GS1-compliant barcodes on various substrates, including medical tubing, Tyvek, UV Varnish labels, and more.

UV and IR anti-counterfeiting inks are available.

Common challenges include:

  • Ensuring UDI compliance while maintaining high productivity from your packaging lines.
  • Operators need additional training on complicated coding systems.
  • Excessive downtime caused by legacy inkjet coding equipment.
  • Incorporating variable data and serialization in a complete solution.
Applications Include:
  • Printing production and compliance codes on a wide range of materials and package types.
  • Custom serialization and aggregation solutions.
  • Coding products, cartons and bundles
  • Date and traceability coding
  • Printing compliant barcodes in GS1 and HIBCC formats to meet UDI standards.
  • Coding products on multi-lane packaging machines - using multiple printheads or traversing systems.
  • Integration of printers with flexible packaging machines, labelers and other types of equipment.
  • Barcode labeling for UDI and DSCSA


Our continued innovation and expertise, as well as an understanding of the critical issues medical device manufacturers face, allow us to offer products and solutions to meet your specific needs.

Add text, barcodes and compliance logos to flexible packaging, such as IV bags, pouches, trays and more.

Code printers integrate with horizontal form-fill-seal machines, bagging machines, flow wrappers and other packaging equipment.

Print variable text and barcodes on secondary packaging such as shipping cases and cartons.
