Batch Coding

Batch & Lot Coding

Batch coding (also known as lot coding) is a critical part of traceability. NAXJET has a range of lot code printers capable of printing onto nearly any type of packaging at high speed with multiple lines of text even in harsh production environments.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines a lot code as “a specific identified portion of a batch, that is uniform and that is intended to meet specifications for identity, purity, and composition”. Regulations are continuously strengthening to protect consumers and producers across many industries must take care to ensure that their batch numbers or lot codes are legible and consistent.

Why batch & lot coding matters

1. Traceability: Track every product through the supply chain.
2. Recall Management: Quickly identify and isolate affected batches.
3. Regulatory Compliance: Meet FDA, EU, and other international standards.
4. Brand Protection: Prevent counterfeiting and ensure product integrity.

Lot number printing solutions

Our automatic coding machines are designed to print batch and lot numbers that are clear and durable directly onto manufactured goods or packaging. Ideal to ensure batch traceability, for tracking parts between production locations or to safeguard against product recalls.

Every NAXJET lot number printer is designed with you in mind and can be set up with ease via our user-friendly interface, with most models offering smartphone-style touchscreen operation.

Flexible solutions for any production environments

Options are available for any production environment like our popular continuous inkjet printer, the NAXJET S800, with ingress protection (IP) rating suitable for dusty or wet conditions and permanent marking with our laser lot coders and batch coding machines.
