How does the marking system work?
The marking system keeps track of the product movement throughout the entire supply chain – from production to selling to the shopper at the till. Each production unit is assigned a unique digital code (Data Matrix or another marking type more suitable for certain commodity groups), so that the manufacturer or the importer could place in on the product/packaging. When the product is sold, the code is removed from trade.
