Case Study: Solving Ink Spreading on Pharmaceutical Packaging with Perfecta® Limitless Barcode

The Challenge

A customer was experiencing difficulties when printing a Data Matrix GS1 barcode directly onto their packaging. Although the initial print appeared sharp, within seconds the ink began to spread across the surface. This caused the print to blur and become difficult to read, compromising both legibility and barcode scan reliability.

The Solution

To address the issue, the customer adopted Perfecta® Limitless Barcode ink. Unlike conventional inks that can sit on the surface and migrate, Perfecta® Limitless Barcode was specifically formulated to contract on contact with the surface. This unique property ensures the print remains crisp and well-defined immediately after printing.
