Carton Label – Batch / Mfg / Exp Print
Batch number, manufacturing date, and expiry date printing is a regulatory-critical requirement for pharmaceutical and FMCG cartons. Poor-quality labels absorb ink, feather during printing, or detach during handling—leading to unreadable data and compliance risks. Direct carton printing is not always feasible due to substrate variation or short batch runs. Anaika offers carton label solutions engineered specifically for batch, Mfg, and Exp printing, providing clean ink holdout, flat adhesion, and consistent readability across packing, storage, and distribution
