Deciphering the labelling codes

The label codes help us and you, our valued customer, track products that were manufactured during a certain time. In the event of a product enquiry, understanding the codes on a label can assist you and your customer to identify the product and its manufacturing batch. This assists us to trace the product, apply the relevant corrective action and close your enquiry in the shortest possible time, with the least amount of disruption to you.

Note of importance:

A manufacturing batch can run over multiple days and shifts.
In the event of a quality issue, it is possible that only one shift has been
affected and not the complete batch.
