Graphi Mecc’s Serialisation Equipment Offerings

Italian equipment manufacturer Graphi Mecc Group (GMG), based in Verona, has devoted many years since its founding in 1985 to devising the most fool-proof way to produce encoded unique serial numbers, ensuring that sequences are correct, no numbers are skipped or duplicated and the encoding in a variety of formats is accurate.

It guarantees zero errors and now offers its variable data certification (VDC) on all of its serialisation equipment. The equipment can generate and print alphanumeric, linear (1D) barcodes, QR and data matrix codes, such as used on tax stamps, as required on tobacco products under the WHO’s FCTC and anything else that requires traceability.

GMG was established by Andrea Ranzato Vianello, who remains President and CEO, as a re-seller of numbering equipment, with Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS, Italy’s state-owned security printer) as its first customer. In 1999, Vianello decided to develop his own technology, prompted by IPZS’ requirement for a fast, accurate, numbering system to use on the state-issued Bollinos (excise seal) for use on medicines.
