For consumers to know that a medicine is genuine, products in the pharmaceutical industry need distinctive drug labelling and counterfeit-proof identification features. That’s exactly what Serialization and Aggregation (i.e.Track & Trace) ensures. Pharmacists, for example, can clearly identify the products and can track the transportation of every package end-to-end. This, together with a tamper-evident closure, creates security and confidence.
Because the pharma serialization requirements for differ from country to country, we offer highly flexible Serialization and Aggregation or Track and Trace systems like the Traceable Quality System (TQS): a reliable and future-proof solution for our pharmaceutical customers.
In addition, we successfully integrate OEM components into packaging machines. The standardized interfaces also support perfect Serialization and Aggregation IT integration. As a result they are fully compatible with existing machine and system components.

Serialization & Aggregation at Losan Pharma GmbH
“With TQS, Wipotec has a flexible, modular Track and Trace system that has been perfectly tailored to our needs. TQS handles all common packaging forms, whether folding boxes, bottles or their aggregation levels. With TQS, we are perfectly prepared for the implementation of future global serialization and aggregation requirements.”
Dr. Marco Klingele | Track and Trace Program Lead / Head of Administration | Losan Pharma GmbH
TQS – That’s What Our World-Leading Pharmaceutical Serialization & Aggregation Systems Do
The Serialization & Aggregation systems of the TQS family offer you serialization, checkweighing, tamper-evident and multi-stage aggregation.
Meet country-specific regulations for Pharmaceutical Serialization & Aggregation with TQS
As a result of EU Directive 2011/62/EU, from February 2019 the pharmaceutical industry must not put any more prescription-only drugs on the market unless it is possible to verify their authenticity by serial numbering and tamper-evident sealing. This is used to improve consumer protection in the case of drugs.
It poses a challenge for companies in the pharmaceutical industry because the production environment, serialization and aggregation requirements may vary widely at national level.
We know what’s important in terms of country-specific Serialization and Aggregation pharmaceutical advice and have compiled and analyzed all the crucial information for you on an interactive world map.
To the country-specific pharma serialization and aggregation requirements
Folding Boxes: Serialization, Weight Inspection, Tamper-Evident, Aggregation
Folding boxes are serialized by printing the side surfaces or the top. Weight acquisition to check whether they are complete. And we offer the tamper-evident application for this so that the closure is also tamper-proof.
Aggregation can be built up in several stages through to pallet level. Rejecting defective packages that fail the weight, application and printing test ensures 100% product monitoring.
To what extent do you want to serialize?
- The TQS-SP serializes folding boxes in the smallest space
- In addition, the TQS-HC-A checks folding boxes for completeness
- If necessary, you can also apply Tamper-Evident Labels
- The TQS-HC-A also has an additional Vignette Labeler
To what extent do you want to aggregate?
- Combining of single packages into bundles (first stage aggregation)
- If you have already serialized your products, the TQS-CP supports semi-automatic aggregation

Bottles and vials: Serialization, helper code printing, 360° all-round inspection, aggregation
Bottles or vials are serialized by applying unique labels. This is followed by full-surface print verification using optical inspection. If labels are not readable, they are identified and rejected before being applied.
In addition, a 360° all-round inspection with verification of bottles and vials takes place at the exit of labelling machines. If necessary, a helper code is printed on the base or lid of bottles or vials.
To what extent do you want to serialize?
- With the TQS-Bottle, you can serialize bottles and vials on a minimal footprint
- Print pre-serialized products with helper codes for subsequent aggregation
To what extent do you want to aggregate?
- Semi-automatic aggregation of manually packed shipping boxes
- 360° all-round inspection, verification, semi-automatic aggregation up to the target quantity
