While on press, our skilled pressmen will print the imposed file assessing image and colour. Quality Assurance department monitors ink colour, paper and quality against approved hard copy or previously printed samples.
Random press sheets are pulled from every skid and run through our EyeC scanner (Text Verification software system). Regardless of the language, numbers and/or font size, the system checks and verifies each character against the customer approved pdf or hard copy. A certificate is generated for each scan and placed into the docket.
As part of our verification process, a line clearance is performed at all stages of production. Folder counters and scanners are challenged before each order. Periodic samplings of trays are weighed to ensure accuracy in count.
Our wide array of equipment can handle simple to the most-complex fold configurations and can be 100% barcode scanned with pharma code and code 128 in-line scanning on both sides, and that correct product codes have current revision numbers. Glue verification has been added to our processes to ensure our clients receive exceptional finished product.
When packaging, each carton must be weighed by using the data that was previously entered at the time the order was received. Our computerized weighing system (Free Weigh System) verifies counts of packaged inserts or outserts within the cartons. This allows a high level of count accuracy; reassuring our clients of reconcile effectively.
