Serialization affects numerous packaging forms, but respondents to Healthcare Packaging’s Serialization Playbook survey clearly indicated that cartons and bottles represented the primary packaging types involved in serialization.

The Playbook was downloaded more than 4,700 times between 2012 and 2018. Each person answered a series of questions that revealed details such as where they worked, their role in serialization, as well as key metrics such as how many lines they were responsible for serializing and where those lines were located.
