In the production process, defects are difficult to avoid entirely. However, the ability to control and resolve them depends heavily on the traceability system in place.

A Common Situation
A company discovers that some labels in a production batch contain incorrect information, but it cannot identify the exact location of the defective items.
In this case, if there is no clear batch classification system, the usual solution is either to inspect the entire batch again or discard the whole lot.
Limitations of Traditional Methods
Many small printing workshops still operate manually and do not have an internal batch marking system. This makes traceability difficult when an issue occurs.
The Role of Traceability
Assigning an identification code to each label roll, combined with data such as:
helps isolate defects quickly and thereby reduces handling costs.
Trend
Large manufacturers, especially FDI companies, are increasingly demanding stronger traceability capabilities, not only for the final product but also across the entire supply chain.
