Most likely Babor code locations
For Babor, start with the box bottom. If the outer box is missing, move to the product base and then the package seam.
Check the label around each marking to distinguish the production lot from product references; position and character count alone do not identify a lot.
- Check the box bottom under bright side light.
- Check the product base under bright side light.
- Check the package seam under bright side light.
Numbers to ignore
Do not enter the retail EAN/UPC product number, shade number, SKU, ingredient registration number, or volume marking as the batch. Some scannable codes contain additional fields; use only an explicitly identified lot field, not the entire scan.
If several Babor codes appear, identify the production lot from its label and the instructions for that product. Length alone cannot identify it. Keep every mark with its original location and never trim a longer identifier to make it fit.
When the print is hard to read
Embossed or low-contrast batch codes are easier to read with side lighting. Take a photo, zoom in, and preserve leading zeroes, separators, and letter case.
If the box and container disagree, check whether one string is a product reference. Preserve both markings separately while confirming their purpose.
Babor product and package context
Check the ampoule carton, bottle or jar base, tube crimp, and label edge. Treatment-step numbers are not batch codes.
Where is the ampoule batch code? Usually on the ampoule set carton or package rather than as a readable code on every tiny vial.
