Eson Pac strengthens position in pharma with EyeC print inspection

Switzerland-based printer Eson Pac has invested in EyeC print inspection technology to allow it to meet the strict requirements for artwork inspection and print quality required to work in the pharmaceutical industry.

Through its investment, Eson Pac plans to position itself more strongly in the field of pharmaceuticals and predicts further orders with the use of the inspection system, which complies with ISO 9001, GMP, GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11

This has included an EyeC Proofiler 400 DT off-line inspection system in combination with the Proofiler Graphic option. The EyeC Proofiler 400 DT performs a comprehensive check of samples against one or more approved PDF files or a reference print. The Proofiler Graphic option makes the graphic inspection from a printed PDF file in pre-press possible.

Last year, Eson Pac was in conversation with a large international pharmaceutical group for the further production of labels. In order to secure the order, an extensive list of criteria for an artwork and off-line inspection was expected to be fulfilled. Based on the use of an EyeC inspection system, Eson Pac was able to guarantee both the required artwork inspection in the pre-press stage as well as the sample inspection during the entire label printing process.

For six months, the EyeC system has now taken over the pre-press artwork inspection as well as off-line random sample inspection during label printing.

EyeC noted that customers, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, are placing high demands on package printing based on existing directives, such as GMP, and are requiring the use of inspection systems to ensure a high print quality.

Through its investment, Eson Pac plans to position itself more strongly in the field of pharmaceuticals and predicts further orders with the use of the inspection system, which complies with ISO 9001, GMP, GAMP 5 and 21 CFR Part 11.
