In today’s pharmaceutical supply chain, serialization isn’t just a regulatory checkbox. It’s the backbone of product security, visibility, and patient safety. And while most companies use serialization, far fewer truly understand it.
At Apace Packaging, serialization and aggregation aren’t afterthoughts. They’re specialties. Our serialization experts are some of the most technically proficient professionals in the field, with the kind of hands-on, systems-level understanding that only comes from years of experience across every layer of the process.
Experts Who Don’t Just Manage Serialization, But Master It
Our serialization team can do something few others can: completely deconstruct and rebuild EPCIS files to ensure they pass through Level 4 (L4) systems without error. It’s a capability that’s earned Apace a reputation as the go-to partner for serialization problem-solving, even for other contract packagers.
We’ve been brought in by multiple companies to fix serialization issues that weren’t discovered until products reached their 3PLs. Because we understand the full serialization hierarchy—from the smallest sellable unit to the interpack, case, and pallet levels—we can pinpoint the breakdown, correct it, and ensure full data integrity moving forward.
The Apace Approach: Precision Meets Automation
Our team doesn’t rely solely on third-party systems; we build our own in-house scanning programs designed to capture data while simultaneously performing in-process verification and validation.
Each scan confirms that the correct information is being recorded at the correct serialization level, instantly catching discrepancies that might otherwise slip through manual review. By removing human error from the equation, we ensure every aggregation layer—from individual bottle to pallet—is accurate, validated, and fully traceable.
This proactive validation process guarantees that every EPCIS file we generate is complete, compliant, and ready for seamless transfer into our customers’ Level 4 systems.
Trusted by Partners, Proven in Practice
Serialization has become one of the most complex and critical parts of pharmaceutical packaging. It’s an area where experience truly matters. Our serialization experts don’t just know the technology; they understand the regulatory landscape, the data standards, and the downstream realities our customers face.
When you work with Apace, you’re not just getting a packaging provider. You’re getting a partner who can see serialization from every angle: technical, operational, and compliance-driven.
Because in an industry where every code matters, we make sure every connection does too.
