OTC, Supplements And Nutraceuticals
While the regulations governing supplements and nutraceuticals are often less strict than those governing pharmaceuticals, many countries enact consumer protection laws that put additional pressure on companies selling supplements. Manufacturers should choose flexible coding and marking solutions to be able to comply with future regulations without costly disruptions.
Solutions by application
Labels and bottles
When printing on labels and bottles the main challenges include:
- Integration with the labeling machine and matching the printer speed with the constant start/stop motion of labeling.
- Printing a relatively large amount of information in a small area.
Our advantages in labels and bottles application include
High-resolution printers
Able to print human and machine-readable codes on very small spaces.
Experience with difficult integrations
We have successfully installed printers on many labeling lines, including ones where space is at a premium. Our standard setup includes a special encoder that syncs the printer with constant speed changes in the labeling machine.

Sachets
Our advantages in sachets application include
Cost competitive solutions
To minimize per code costs.
High-resolution printers
Suitable for printing large amounts of high definition text on small spaces.
Specialized handling systems
For printing on multi-lane production lines.
Specialized inks
To print on adhesion resistant metalized films.
Small footprint systems
To allow integration into production lines where space is at a premium.
Recommended printers
Flexible packaging
Improper printing technology or ink selection can lead to smudged prints on laminated and non-porous surfaces, especially on fast moving production lines that leave little time for ink to dry.
Control Print carries the widest selection of printing technologies and inks in India, and can offer the most cost competitive solution to meet your coding and marking requirements.
Recommended printers
Tubes
Coding on tubes requires different solutions due to the irregular printing surface and a very small print area.
Our advantages in tubes application include
Industry leading throw distance
50 mm throw distance creates high quality prints even on highly curved surfaces.
Highly accurate printers
With careful calibration our highly accurate printers can create legible prints even in very small spaces.
Small footprint solutions
To allow integration even when space at the line is at a premium.
Recommended printers
Cartons
Cartons and outer packaging, while technically simple to print, can be challenging due to the amount of information that needs to be printed on a small space.
Recommended printers
Blisters and strips
A highly nonporous and reflective surface is perhaps the biggest challenge when it comes to printing on strips and blisters.
Our advantages in blisters and strips application include
Proprietary handling systems
Suitable for multi-lane product lines that require several printheads.
Wide selection of printing technologies and inks
For producing high quality, high contrast codes on aluminum, plastic coated and other difficult to print on surfaces.
