DIRECT ANSWER
DRAP has set 9 October 2026 as the deadline for mandatory 2D barcode and serialization on human and veterinary medicine packaging in Pakistan. Plants need unique unit-level codes, aggregation where required, and reporting readiness before that date.
What the deadline requires
Under the nationwide Pharma Track & Trace System, saleable medicine packaging must carry unique serialized 2D codes (typically Data Matrix) so products can be traced through the supply chain. Exalted supplies print/inspect, aggregation, and software layers that support this rollout.
Who must act
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and importers in Pakistan — from large plants to mid-size lines — should treat this as a time-bound compliance project involving production, QA, regulatory affairs, and IT/ERP teams.
