1. A plurality of pharmaceutical containers, comprising:
a plurality of geometric parameters defined for each container of the plurality of containers,
each geometric parameter of the plurality of geometric parameters having a mean value and a standard deviation,
wherein for a group of the plurality of geometric parameters, each geometric parameter of the group has a standard deviation that is greater than or equal to a lower threshold value specific for the geometric parameter, and
wherein the lower threshold value is at least 1% of the mean value of the geometric parameter, and
wherein the plurality of geometric parameters are a unique identifier for each container in the plurality of pharmaceutical containers without any extra added or molded element on the plurality of containers.
