With the new European requirement for braille on new packaging for pharmaceuticals coming in to force last October, there has been an added burden to ensure that the braille is correct.

With the new European requirement for braille on new packaging for pharmaceuticals coming in to force last October, there has been an added burden to ensure that the braille is correct With full implementation of the law scheduled for 2010 there will be an increasing need to verify that, as well as the conventional printed texts, according to DVS Quality Solutions

DVS is now offering a package of electronic proof reading systems that will take time out of the proof reading process, as well as reducing the possibility of recalls from incorrectly printed and embossed packaging, it claimed.

The Pharma-Printcontrol, developed by Krauss Software of Germany is a quality control tool that will check text, graphics and braille against a master PDF file.

The system can be used to check multiple image composite sheets against a single master regardless of orientation and nesting, said DVS.

The systems are available from A3 up to A2 incorporating Braille check and up to A0 for non-braille check.

For verification of texts in electronic files DVS also offers the TVT (Text Verification Toll) from Schlafender Hase of Germany.

This software allows the inspection of Word, RTF and PDF files where the same text has been transferred or flowed in to an artwork file.

It highlights any differences between the files and allows the operator to accept or reject the differences, added the company.

Braille is also included in the inspection and the system decodes the braille so that the exact wording of any differences is apparent.

The product is said to be widely used in the regulatory and artwork departments of pharmaceutical companies across Europe.
