Batch Code / Lot Number
Batch Code / Lot Number
A manufacturing identification code printed on containers for quality traceability and recall management.
A batch code (also called lot number) is an alphanumeric identifier assigned to a specific production run of containers. Batch codes enable full traceability from raw resin to finished product, which is critical for quality control, FDA compliance, and recall management. In pharmaceutical and food packaging, batch codes must be recorded and retained for the product's shelf life plus an additional period. PailHQ provides batch code documentation with all orders, including date of manufacture, resin lot, and test certifications. Batch codes are typically molded into the bottom of the pail or printed on a label.
