Printing and Marking Solutions for the Tobacco and Vape Sector
Serialization and Traceability for Tobacco and Vape Products
The tobacco sector is among the most regulated in terms of traceability. EU Regulation 2018/574 (EU-CEG) mandates the serialization of every single sales unit and every multi-pack with a unique identifier (UI), with real-time registration in the European traceability system. Adopted marking technologies include laser, high-resolution inkjet, and TTO systems, all integrated with the serialization IT infrastructure. The vape sector is subject to the TPD2 Directive with continuously growing traceability requirements. Learn more about the end-to-end Track and Trace solutions.
EU-CEG Compliant Serialization Systems
Tobacco serialization systems must be integrated with national traceability platforms and the European EU-CEG system. Every generated UI must be unique, readable, verifiable, and registered before the product leaves the factory. Automatic inspection systems verify 100% readability and correctness of every product code. Exception management, including unreadable codes and rejected products, must be systematically documented and tracked. The complexity of these systems requires specialized consulting.
