The Evolution of Print – Apply Labeling

Print and Apply – Finally as Simple as it Sounds. 

Many of our customers are faced with the same demands when it comes to labeling their secondary packaging:

• more output from packaging lines.
• higher efficiency and less downtime.
• best possible barcode quality for GS1 compliance.
• minimize the total cost of ownership.

Traditionally, labels would be applied to the side of a shipping case or tray, using a pneumatic or servo driven tamp arrangement. This method has provided excellent service over the years and it is still the most common process in use today.

Using a tamp applicator, while being simple and reliable, does have some drawbacks, though.

The label can only be printed while the tamp pad is in its home position. This means that there are parts of the application cycle where the printer is forced to be idle – reducing the maximum output of the labeler.

These systems usually need plant compressed air to operate them. With many of our customers looking to reduce their overall plant air usage, this is not ideal.

There can also be safety considerations with reciprocating parts operating at high speeds – it is difficult to ensure there are no pinch points.

PowerMerge

To address some of these issues, ID Technology introduced PowerMerge.

Rather than using a tamp system to deliver the label to the product, as the label leaves the print engine, it travels on a driven belt where it is controlled by a flow of air (from a fan, not plant air) to the product.

PowerMerge provides some great advantages:

Once a label is printed and on the belt, the next label can start its own print process. This virtually eliminates and seat time in the print-apply, increasing output considerably.

Gaining time in the sequence also means that the printer can run at lower print speeds, even while maintaining high outputs. This provides better print quality and longer life of printer components.

However, while PowerMerge is often a big step forward compared to tamp applicators, it does have a couple of drawbacks.

• the label is fed with the narrow side across the web – this means that more material has to pass through the printer for each print cycle.
• this orientation gives fewer labels per roll.
• not the ideal orientation for the best barcode quality.

Introducing CrossMerge

CrossMerge brings our PowerMerge concept to another level.

Labels feed from the printer ib the most efficient orientation and then change direction to allow them to be wiped onto the product.

For our customers, there are some huge advantages of CrossMerge.

• Like, PowerMerge, the print speed is disconnect from the application speed, allowing the printer to run at a slower speed than is usual – while still proving higher outputs.
• Lower speed causes less wear (and consequently maintenance requirement) and provides the best print quality.
• Improved ISO/ANSI barcode verification scores.
• Up to twice as many labels per roll (4×2 label compared to conventional wipe-on labeling).
• Up to twice as many labels printed before printhead replacement needed.
• Unlike labelers with delicate near-edge printheads, CrossMerge works great with both thermal transfer and direct thermal labels.
• ID Technology’s lifetime limited warranty if you use our labels.

One of the (many) cool things about CrossMerge is that it can be installed on most existing ID Technology 252 or 255 labeling systems – make the most of your current investment.

The Art of Barcode Shaving

Array ( [post_title] => The Art of Barcode Shaving [post_content] =>

Okay, I’m not suggesting that your barcodes are looking a little scraggly and in need of getting their chins cleaned up. Barcode shaving (also often referred to as pixel shaving) is a way of tweaking your barcodes to get the best, verified print quality.

In this article I want to dig a little into this process and how it relates to printing two-dimensional barcodes when using inkjet printers.

When producing 2D barcodes such as DataMatrix or QR code to GS1 standards, it is obviously important that the data is correct, the structure of the encoded data is correct and the quality of the printed code meets the quality standard.

Typical GS1 DataMatrix Code

Getting the data correct is really the job of the organization that’s printing the barcode, after all, it is their data.

The structure of a GS1 barcode is defined in the GS1 general specification. It’s relatively easy to check that the structure of the data is correct in some cases using a simple smartphone application – I’ve discussed this several times elsewhere.

In the GS1 system, quality for 2D barcodes, such as data matrix and QR codes, is defined in the ISO/IEC 15416 standard.

To verify the quality of a barcode against the standard, a number of measurements are taken using a calibrated verifier. All of these measurements each produce an individual grade which is then combined into one single overall score.

One of these parameters is called print growth. This measures the size of the elements in the barcode and ensures they haven’t crept above the size they should be.

With a 2D DataMatrix barcode, as an example, each of the little squares that makes up the symbol should be exactly the same size, both the dark and light squares.

Look at these two examples:

One of them looks to be printed nice and darkly you – would think that it will be easy for a scanner to read and that its verification score will be good.

In the other example, the barcode looks somewhat lighter. Intuition tells us, that this one would be more difficult to read in the dark version and possibly would score less high in the verification

As it happens, both barcodes are easy to read with most barcode scanners – I can read them just fine with the Barcode Check app on my phone.

However, if you look more closely at the darker example, you’ll see that the darker squares are somewhat larger than the white ones – this is print growth.

What is Print Growth?

When printing with an inkjet printer, the image is produced of a number of very small individual drops of ink. The examples I’ve used were printed on our ClearMark Thermal Inkjet printer, set at 300 dots per inch in both the horizontal and vertical axis. Since the barcode is 0.5″ square, each size is 150 drops or pixels and the individual small squares that make up the barcode are 7 x 7 pixels.

As the drops of ink are sprayed onto the product, they dry quickly (assuming the ink is compatible with the substrate), but not instantly. There is often some time for the drops to spread a little before they set permanently, causing the elements on the image to be slightly larger than intended.

This is why when inspecting a DataMatrix or QR Code that has been printed using inkjet, the small squares that are printed are often too large as the ink spreads.

This is print growth – you can see in the darker example, that the black squares are infringing on the white ones – causing the white squares to be smaller, or even rectangular, rather than squares.

Print growth will downgrade the ISO score of your barcode – possibly to the extent that it fails verification.

So What’s The Solution?

In these situations, Barcode (or Pixel) Shaving is your friend.

With each of the small squares in my example barcode, our ID Technology and Code Tech TIJ printers (and our Greydon Genesis inkjet printers), allow pixels to be removed (shaved) from around each square. So I could make the elements of my barcode 6 x 6 pixels (instead of 7 x 7), but still centered in the same location. This allows the ink to spread a little in each barcode element, but still stay within its assigned overall area.

Using barcode shaving on our printers allows them to be fine-tuned to ensure the best verification scores for both DataMatrix and QR Codes. This is huge for customers who need to comply with GS1 standards, such as those in the medical of pharma industries.

Is it easy to set up?

Yes, this is easy to use on both our Code Tech and ClearMark printers.

Here is the setting screen on ClearMark. You simply set the amount of shaving as a percentage. There is a little trial and error involved, but the setting is saved with the message to remember for next time.

So Shaving is Good?

Yes – this feature can be the difference between passing or failing barcode verification. It is often well worth the time to spend a few minutes fine-tuning your barcode settings, to avoid potential problems in the future.

Okay, I’m not suggesting that your barcodes are looking a little scraggly and in need of getting their chins cleaned up. Barcode shaving (also often referred to as pixel shaving) is a way of tweaking your barcodes to get the best, verified print quality.

In this article I want to dig a little into this process and how it relates to printing two-dimensional barcodes when using inkjet printers.

When producing 2D barcodes such as DataMatrix or QR code to GS1 standards, it is obviously important that the data is correct, the structure of the encoded data is correct and the quality of the printed code meets the quality standard.

Manage Your New Nutrition Labels

Array ( [post_title] => Manage Your New Nutrition Labels [post_content] =>

The new style, FDA approved, nutritional facts labels take effect next month.

The agency has stated that due to many companies int the food industry not being ready, enforcement will be delayed for six months, but this is still a good time to ensure you have a plan to be in compliance.

One of the reasons stated for the delay is that many food producers have a large number of existing printed labels in stock that need to be used up, and many have not finished the process of procuring labels to the new design.

One way to help with this problem (and to make managing many SKUs of nutrition labels much easier) is to invest in ID Technology’s labeling system, with optional print/apply head to print the nutrition information right on the label applicator at the time of use.

The 262 print/apply labeling head can be used as the bottom head on a top/bottom labeler or as a bottom only labeler in order to produce the completed printed nutrition label.

On a top/bottom set-up, this allows for the existing nicely printed digital or flexo label to be applied to the top of the package and the complete bottom label with allergen, ingredients and nutritional information be printed on the bottom label.

We recommend using NiceLabel label management to provide full control of the label designs and ensure that only the correct, approved label is printed every time.

Using this system can eliminate the need to source and manage multiple pre-printed label SKUs and prevent being left with inventories of obsolete labels when the copy on the label changes.

In addition, the 262 labeling head can also apply conventional printed labels, allowing our customers to use pre-printed labels for large volume products and the print/apply feature for smaller runs.

Our labeling systems are built in the USA and are designed to be easy to set-up, use and maintain.

The new style, FDA approved, nutritional facts labels take effect next month.

The agency has stated that due to many companies int the food industry not being ready, enforcement will be delayed for six months, but this is still a good time to ensure you have a plan to be in compliance.

One of the reasons stated for the delay is that many food producers have a large number of existing printed labels in stock that need to be used up, and many have not finished the process of procuring labels to the new design.

One way to help with this problem (and to make managing many SKUs of nutrition labels much easier) is to invest in ID Technology’s labeling system, with optional print/apply head to print the nutrition information right on the label applicator at the time of use.

The 262 print/apply labeling head can be used as the bottom head on a top/bottom labeler or as a bottom only labeler in order to produce the completed printed nutrition label.

On a top/bottom set-up, this allows for the existing nicely printed digital or flexo label to be applied to the top of the package and the complete bottom label with allergen, ingredients and nutritional information be printed on the bottom label.

We recommend using NiceLabel label management to provide full control of the label designs and ensure that only the correct, approved label is printed every time.

Using this system can eliminate the need to source and manage multiple pre-printed label SKUs and prevent being left with inventories of obsolete labels when the copy on the label changes.

In addition, the 262 labeling head can also apply conventional printed labels, allowing our customers to use pre-printed labels for large volume products and the print/apply feature for smaller runs.

Our labeling systems are built in the USA and are designed to be easy to set-up, use and maintain.

Product Coding for Protein Producers

Array ( [post_title] => Product Coding for Protein Producers [post_content] =>

Regardless of package type, companies that produce meat or poultry products need to add variable information to the package. This includes date and lot codes, establishment codes, regulatory agency logos, and increasingly barcodes.

In many industries, this is quite straightforward, but for protein companies, there is the added complication of the environment in which coding and packaging equipment has to operate. Cold and wet conditions are the norm and any equipment brought into the plants needs to be able to handle this as well as washdown situations.

Traditionally continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers have been used for printing variable information onto meat and poultry packaging. These printers can usually handle the harsh conditions found on the packaging lines and also produce the print quality that is good enough for the applications. Thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers have not been used in the past due to the inks being unsuitable for use on the films used for the packaging.

Over the last few years, however, there have been great advances in the chemistry of inks for TIJ printing and today, this technology is proving to be very successful at printing onto the non-porous substrates used for protein packaging.

The ink cartridges used in thermal inkjet printers ensure that there is no need to have to deal with the MEK and other solvents used in other print technologies, such as CIJ. There is no need to deal with disposing of partially used ink or additive bottles.

With no cleaning cycle needed at startup or shutdown, a thermal inkjet printer is always ready to work.

The thermal inkjet coders provided by ProMach brands, Code Tech & ID Technology, are designed to be able to get the job done in these areas. They bring all the advantages of the thermal inkjet system but include models that are available in IP65 versions, perfect for producing excellent code quality every time, regardless of the environment.

Reduce Maintenance & Downtime

A thermal impact printer uses familiar HP type ink cartridges. This means that every time you change the cartridge, you effectively get a new printer.

As a bonus, should you need to change the color of your print, this is accomplished by simply replacing the ink cartridge with one of the required color.

Our TIJ printers come in versions that are built to IP65 environmental protection. This means that regardless of how dirty or wet the packaging environment, the printers will operate happily.

Exceptional Print Quality

With print resolutions of up to 600×600 DPI, thermal inkjet produces perfect prints every time, even when printing very small fonts or high-density barcodes.

Inks are available that are fast drying and durable to suit just about every packaging material.

Quick and Simple Installation and Integration

Thermal inkjet printers from ID Technology and Code Tech have a small footprint, making them easy to install in your parent packaging machine, even when multiple heads are needed.

Combined with the web handling and printer traversing expertise of the Greydon brand, printers from ProMach Labeling & Coding can be integrated with every type of flexible packaging machine.

Is TIJ Always the Best Technology to Use?

No, not always.

Thermal inkjet brings some important advantages, but there are times where an alternative technology such as CIJ printing, thermal transfer, laser or ink stamping might make sense. We happen to sell a complete range of coding technologies so we can work with you to help decide which is best for your unique needs.

Listen to our GS1 Digital Link Podcast

Traditional ways to communicate to customers such as TV and print advertising are not performing as well as In the past.  These are also a one-way form of communication, yelling a message at consumers – no wonder they don’t work as well as in the past. In addition, engagement on a brand’s social media pages is in decline as well. What is a marketer to do?

So how does it work?

End of Parts & Service – SATO Printers

Array ( [post_title] => End of Parts & Service – SATO Printers [post_content] =>

As companies improve their products and introduce new models, earlier generations are discontinued and eventually can no longer be supported.

I recently received a reminder from SATO that some of their legacy models have reached the end of their service/support period.

Included are the following models:

You can see the original SATO end of service notice here: SATO EOS Doc

Most users of these printers have already upgraded to current models, but if you happen to still be using any of these models, please note that by the end of August, service will end and spare parts will be limited until the end of the year, after which they can’t be ordered.

What Should You Do?

If you do use any of these discontinued printers, it is best to upgrade to a new  SATO CLNX printer. The new model has a lot of advantages and is designed to be a simple replacement for older printers. SATO also has a special trade-in program for the legacy printers that you can take advantage of. ID Technology can help you with every step of this process.

Product Handling Considerations for Barcoding on Shipping Cases

Array ( [post_title] => Product Handling Considerations for Barcoding on Shipping Cases [post_content] =>

Using inkjet printers to add variable information to shipping cases, is increasing in popularity. Using this technique can dramatically reduce the number of pre-printed items that need to be managed and fit into company efforts to increase digitalization and move to a lean workflow.

Here at ID Technology, we have a lot of experience when it comes to installing inkjet systems for printing barcodes, text and graphics onto corrugated cases. We are a founding distributor of the FoxJet ProSeries system and have won the prestigious Regency Award for top FoxJet distributor for 14 consecutive years.

If there is one thing we’ve learned over this time, it’s that having good product handling is as important as having good printing equipment for getting the high-quality, compliant GS1 barcodes that customers demand. If the boxes are not presented consistently and accurately to the printheads, this will show in poor print quality and in particular will not allow high-quality barcodes to be printed.

To help educate users on best practices for product handling, our friends at FoxJet recently produced a detailed whitepaper on this topic that goes over many of the issues that are important to ensure great quality printing every time.

FoxJet ProSeries Printers

The whitepaper the transition from the case taper or sealer to the conveyor where the barcode printers are installed as being an area of crucial importance. Because space is often limited on packaging lines, the printheads often have to be installed very close to the exit of the case sealer. Some important factors are:

Carton Control – Proximity to the Printhead

It is important that after leaving the case sealer, the boxes are correctly presented the correct distance from the printheads. The drops of ink that are fired from the printheads can only travel a short distance while maintaining accuracy. If the box is too far away, print quality will decline and if so close it hits the printhead, damage might occur.

Be sure to control the boxes gently so that the boxes are undamaged as they pass through your packaging processes.

It’s best to use guide rails to accurately control the position of the box and even better use in conjunction with FoxJet’s retracting printhead brackets. This bracket uses a roller allow the printhead to be the correct distance from the box every time.

Product/Conveyor Speed

Ensure that boxes leaving your case sealer are traveling at a speed that is within the limits of your inkjet printer. Our FoxJet ProSeries printheads are able to print high-quality text, barcodes and images at up to 300ft per minute, which is enough for all but the fastest production lines.

Angel Hair

No, we are not talking pasta here! Some case sealing machines use hot melt adhesive to hold the flaps on the boxes closed. At times the adhesive applicators can leave a stringy residue behind that can get stuck to the printheads and block the tiny nozzles. Dust from the corrugated boxes can be bad too – be sure to regularly clean your packaging equipment and the printheads.

Vibrations

Good quality printing depends on the boxes being transferred smoothly past the printheads. Make sure your conveyor belt runs smoothly and that you are not dropping boxes onto the conveyor where the printheads are mounted. We’ve seen this happen and the results are not always pretty!

Best Practice of All

The best way to get the best labeling or coding for your shipping cases is to connect with your local ID Technology representative. With many years of experience, combined with the case packing, sealing and product handling of ProMach, we are able to help you determine the best solution for all your case coding or labeling needs.

If the box is too far away, print quality will decline and if so close it hits the printhead, damage might occur.

Be sure to control the boxes gently so that the boxes are undamaged as they pass through your packaging processes.

It’s best to use guide rails to accurately control the position of the box and even better use in conjunction with FoxJet’s retracting printhead brackets. This bracket uses a roller allow the printhead to be the correct distance from the box every time.

Product/Conveyor Speed

Ensure that boxes leaving your case sealer are traveling at a speed that is within the limits of your inkjet printer. Our FoxJet ProSeries printheads are able to print high-quality text, barcodes and images at up to 300ft per minute, which is enough for all but the fastest production lines.

Angel Hair

No, we are not talking pasta here! Some case sealing machines use hot melt adhesive to hold the flaps on the boxes closed. At times the adhesive applicators can leave a stringy residue behind that can get stuck to the printheads and block the tiny nozzles. Dust from the corrugated boxes can be bad too – be sure to regularly clean your packaging equipment and the printheads.

Vibrations

Good quality printing depends on the boxes being transferred smoothly past the printheads. Make sure your conveyor belt runs smoothly and that you are not dropping boxes onto the conveyor where the printheads are mounted. We’ve seen this happen and the results are not always pretty!

Array ( [post_title] => Promotional and Loyalty Print Solutions [post_content] =>

Have you ever received a printed coupon or offer when you left a store, restaurant, or hotel?

These printed pieces that may offer some sort of discount, promotional product, code, or game are called printed promotional products or loyalty printed solutions!

Promotional Products are designed to increase brand awareness. They are an incredibly powerful marketing tool that allows a brand to connect with consumers.

Did you know that consumers prefer personalized rewards for their loyalty to a brand?

• 68% of consumers would shop at a store offering rewards over ones that do not.
• 61% of consumers say that the most important way a brand can interact with them is by surprising them with offers or gifts just for being a customer.
• 4 out of 5 people are more likely to engage with a brand that offers incentives.

Coupons have a low-cost investment that can generate a big return. About 20% of females and males both look for printed coupons at least once a week. 36% of Millennials and 29% of Gen Z often use coupons.

Overall coupons increase sales and brand awareness. By adding a coupon to your products package, you will increase the number of new customers, increase the return of former customers, and increase long-lasting brand strength.

Loyalty Programs

Loyalty programs can help maintain price integrity, increase aspirational purchases to achieve rewards can provide gains in units per transactions, increase store trips and conversions.

The younger the generation, the more interested they are in playing a game to earn points and Millennials redeem rewards most often.

• 71% of Gen X, 70% of Millennials, 63% of Baby Boomers, and 62% of Gen Z said a loyalty program influences their brand choices.
• 77% of Millennials redeem rewards once a quarter.

Design

When creating or deciding what promotional product will be best for your brand here are some tips to consider.

1. You want to make sure that your consumers are aware of the promotion. This can be done by using advertisements, word of mouth, or social media.
2. You want the promotional piece to cost worthy for your consumers. Meaning most consumers will be willing to participate in the promotion if it means possible getting a free product or an amount off their purchase/next purchase.
3. You want the promotional piece to stand out. If you choose to do a peal and reveal or coupon that will be adhered to your product you don’t want it to blend in too much to your packaging design because then it may be over looked or not noticed by consumers.
4. You want to make sure to include all the information the consumer needs to know of either the advertising for the promotional piece or on the promotional piece itself to ensure there will not be any confusion. This information could include an expiration date, date of when the piece can be redeemed/used, or a website that you can visit for more information/rules.

Solutions

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic stores are seeing an increase in online ordering but a significant decrease in walk-in customers. A solution to get consumers back in the stores is by launching a promotional product/campaign. This will increase the walk-in, brand awareness, and sales.

Food Security Labels

Array ( [post_title] => Food Security Labels [post_content] =>

In recent years food delivery has been becoming more and more popular with consumers. Not only do many restaurants offer delivery but there are third-party options to get your food delivered as well offering a more convenient and easy way to get food delivered. Some of the third-party options include using apps such as Grub Hub, Door Dash, and Uber Eats.

With options for food delivery increasing so has consumer’s concern for their food security when using these new methods.

A recent trend that the food industry has begun to use to ensure food security is adding tamper-evident labels or seals to food during the delivery process. Although tamper-evident labels or seals have been used for years on products in other industries such as automotive and electronics it is new to the food industry. These labels are added to the containers or packaging of food at the restaurant before it leaves their facility. Tamper-evident labels or seals offer consumers reassurance that their order has remained untouched in transit from a restaurant to their door.

The most popular type of tamper-evident labels or seals being used are ones that have slits for security: when the label is removed, it separates into pieces, indicating that it has been tampered with. These labels can be put on a variety of different substrates such as paper bags, plastic bags, cardboard containers, plastic containers, and more.

FEATURES

• Gives consumers the reassurance that their food was untouched during delivery
• Visual proof if consumers food was tampered with
• Easy to apply quickly
• It can be used on a verity of different substrates allowing 1 label to be used on different packaging/containers.

DESIGN

Many tamper-evident labels used in the food industry have a simple and clean design to them with not many graphics or type on them. These labels can include a logo indicating where the food is from or simply just have the words “Eat Well” or “Enjoy” on them. Some may say “tamper-evident” on them indicated the reason for the label.

These labels can be any shape and size. However, we have seen most of them being small and either rectangular or circular and not being bigger than 2 to 3 inches.

OTHER MARKETS

Tamper-evident labels have been popular in other markets such as automotive and electronics for years and just recently have been used in the food industry. However, there are more industries that tamper-evident labels can have used in as well.

Hotel security labels are intended to be placed on the outside of a hotel room door covering the crease between the door and the door frame. These labels are placed here to after a room has been cleaned indicating to guests that the room was not tampered with or touched after it was cleaned and sanitized.

Other markets where tamper-evident labels can be used with the same concept as what we see happening on food products and hotel rooms are:

• Airplane security seals
• Rental car security seals
• Health, beauty, and pharmaceutical packaging

DIFFERENT SECURITY LABELING TYPES

There are three different types of security labeling techniques: tamper-evident labels, authentication labels, and track and trace labels. The best solutions for a product depending on what ways a product needs protection.

Tamper evident labels are printed on destructible substrates that can change the appearance or are destroyed when tampering such as removing or transferring the label occurs. If a product was tampered with and the label was removed or transferred, a tamper-evident label will show proof that the product tampered. One way the label will do this is by ripping into pieces and leaving evidence behind on the product showing that it was tampered with. Sometimes this can be strips of the label itself or it can be the word “void” repeated over the area that the label was adhered to.

Authentication labels incorporate combinations of security features that can be visually seen or identified and easy to verify. These security features can be checked by anyone within the supply chain. Visual authentication includes barcodes, special inks, holograms, watermarks, embossing, and more. Authentication labels can also contain hidden security features such as invisible images or text, hidden barcodes, digital authentication, markers, retro-reflective technology, optical variable devices, and more. Hidden features can be verified by special lighting, magnification, technology, and software. Authentication labels are nearly impossible to copy or imitate.

Track and trace features can be visual or hidden and can be added to products, pallets, or shipping containers. This unique marker can be monitored through the whole process of the supply chain. This feature requires special management data technology and software. Track and Trace solutions allow products to be traced from production all the way down the supply chain till the product reaches the consumer’s hands which allows the consumer to verify where the product came from and where it traveled from the time it left the manufacturing facility. With this information, the consumer will be able to identify if the product was tampered with, and if the product is authentic.

These labels can be any shape and size. However, we have seen most of them being small and either rectangular or circular and not being bigger than 2 to 3 inches.

OTHER MARKETS

Tamper-evident labels have been popular in other markets such as automotive and electronics for years and just recently have been used in the food industry. However, there are more industries that tamper-evident labels can have used in as well.

Hotel security labels are intended to be placed on the outside of a hotel room door covering the crease between the door and the door frame. These labels are placed here to after a room has been cleaned indicating to guests that the room was not tampered with or touched after it was cleaned and sanitized.

Other markets where tamper-evident labels can be used with the same concept as what we see happening on food products and hotel rooms are:

• Airplane security seals
• Rental car security seals
• Health, beauty, and pharmaceutical packaging

DIFFERENT SECURITY LABELING TYPES

There are three different types of security labeling techniques: tamper-evident labels, authentication labels, and track and trace labels. The best solutions for a product depending on what ways a product needs protection.

Tamper evident labels are printed on destructible substrates that can change the appearance or are destroyed when tampering such as removing or transferring the label occurs. If a product was tampered with and the label was removed or transferred, a tamper-evident label will show proof that the product tampered. One way the label will do this is by ripping into pieces and leaving evidence behind on the product showing that it was tampered with. Sometimes this can be strips of the label itself or it can be the word “void” repeated over the area that the label was adhered to.

Authentication labels incorporate combinations of security features that can be visually seen or identified and easy to verify. These security features can be checked by anyone within the supply chain. Visual authentication includes barcodes, special inks, holograms, watermarks, embossing, and more. Authentication labels can also contain hidden security features such as invisible images or text, hidden barcodes, digital authentication, markers, retro-reflective technology, optical variable devices, and more. Hidden features can be verified by special lighting, magnification, technology, and software. Authentication labels are nearly impossible to copy or imitate.

Track and trace features can be visual or hidden and can be added to products, pallets, or shipping containers. This unique marker can be monitored through the whole process of the supply chain. This feature requires special management data technology and software. Track and Trace solutions allow products to be traced from production all the way down the supply chain till the product reaches the consumer’s hands which allows the consumer to verify where the product came from and where it traveled from the time it left the manufacturing facility. With this information, the consumer will be able to identify if the product was tampered with, and if the product is authentic.

In recent years food delivery has been becoming more and more popular with consumers. Not only do many restaurants offer delivery but there are third-party options to get your food delivered as well offering a more convenient and easy way to get food delivered. Some of the third-party options include using apps such as Grub Hub, Door Dash, and Uber Eats.

With options for food delivery increasing so has consumer’s concern for their food security when using these new methods.

A recent trend that the food industry has begun to use to ensure food security is adding tamper-evident labels or seals to food during the delivery process. Although tamper-evident labels or seals have been used for years on products in other industries such as automotive and electronics it is new to the food industry. These labels are added to the containers or packaging of food at the restaurant before it leaves their facility. Tamper-evident labels or seals offer consumers reassurance that their order has remained untouched in transit from a restaurant to their door.

The most popular type of tamper-evident labels or seals being used are ones that have slits for security: when the label is removed, it separates into pieces, indicating that it has been tampered with. These labels can be put on a variety of different substrates such as paper bags, plastic bags, cardboard containers, plastic containers, and more.

FEATURES

• Gives consumers the reassurance that their food was untouched during delivery
• Visual proof if consumers food was tampered with
• Easy to apply quickly
• It can be used on a verity of different substrates allowing 1 label to be used on different packaging/containers.

DESIGN

Many tamper-evident labels used in the food industry have a simple and clean design to them with not many graphics or type on them. These labels can include a logo indicating where the food is from or simply just have the words “Eat Well” or “Enjoy” on them. Some may say “tamper-evident” on them indicated the reason for the label.

These labels can be any shape and size. However, we have seen most of them being small and either rectangular or circular and not being bigger than 2 to 3 inches.

Cannabis Labels

Array ( [post_title] => Cannabis Labels [post_content] =>

In 1996 California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis. This sparked a trend that spread throughout most of the United States since. As more states are legalize the medical cannabis market has grown more then 310% globally within the past 4-5 years.

In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Since then, other states have joined them, including Whitlam Groups home state of Michigan.

In 2019 the cannabis packaging market in the US was valued at $101.48 billion. By 2025 this market is expected to reach $297.51 billion. This is a 22.59% growth rate within a 6-year period.

As the medical and recreational cannabis markets grow rapidly it is necessary to have suitable packaging for your cannabis products. Due to various government regulations across the globe, the packaging of cannabis is of the upmost importance. Let’s look at some of the design and packaging trends within the cannabis market.

Green Packaging

One trend that we have noticed to be popular within the cannabis market is green packaging. Green packaging uses materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.

Cannabis is promoted as on all-natural solutions so making sure the packaging is eco-friendly is important to promote an image of environmental consciousness. Some eco-friendly solutions include

• Using green, amber, or blue glass bottles to keep products potent longer with UV filtering abilities
• Using less packaging waste by cutting unnecessary shipping and packaging materials
• Using Sustainable materials such as hemp, cotton, glass, and recycled materials
• Using earth-friendly materials such as renewable, recyclable, compostable and biodegradable
• Non-toxic design methods such as plant-based dyes and inks, embossing, and etching, biodegradable adhesives

Compliance Needs              

Making sure your packaging has shelf-appeal while complying with packaging laws is important when designing the right packaging solutions. While creative design is important for image appeal, complying with regulations and requirements are important for brand-trust.

Before designing your packaging product, it is important to check with your state regulations and other requirements for cannabis. It is important that before starting packaging production you share the regulations and requirements with your packaging manufacture.

Labeling requirements for cannabis products vary in each state, but there are general labeling requirements for all cannabis products. Products with more THC have a more pronounced testing and labeling requirements than products that are more marijuana-based.

One requirement for cannabis labels is that it must include the potency of marijuana and concentrates. This information can be displayed in two ways on a label. One way is to have the font be no smaller than 10-point font, bold, framed, and in a font that is at least two sizes bigger than the other label text. The second way is to have the font be no smaller than 10-point font, bold, framed, and highlighted with a bright noticeable color.

When displaying the percentage levels for cannabinoids on labels it should be shown by range and appear from lowest to highest concentration. All marijuana-infused products must also have a potency statement.

 Creative Design

 When designing cannabis packaging it is important to first know who your audience will be. The cannabis market is not a one-size-fits-all proposition though. Different demographics find different benefits from THC and CBD. Each consumer group is also split between using for health and wellness or for recreational purposes.

There is also a growing market for dog’s as well. Reports indicate that cannabis products for pets could reach a $1 billion industry by 2022.

It is important to create a design that will appeal to the demographic you want to target. If so you are targeting different demographics it is important to keep your design appealing to all. In order to keep your design sophisticated and appealing here are a few design characteristics to keep in mind:

• Clean shapes and sleek package designs
• Sharpe and clean edges
• Bright colors
• Embossing, stamped gold/silver foil, and frosted glass
• High-quality, intelligent brand marketing aimed at professionals
• Focus on medicinal-friendly logs

Users should be able to distinguish between recreational and medicinal cannabis products. It is important to ensure that your design is appealing to consumers as well as having them be able to tell the difference between medicinal and recreational products by the design of the packaging.

Here are some design options that are associated with different demographic groups.

Luxury

A luxury design can be used for an upscale look. This can attract a more mature, discerning demographic. Some design aspects that we see with a luxury look include foil accents, subdued color palettes, simplified shapes, clean lines, and elegant typography.

Natural

This design trends show cases the natural aspect of cannabis products. This design can be used when targeting the more health-conscious demographic. Some ways you can create a natural design in your packaging and labels is by using earthly colors like greens and browns, and also using words/language that have a more natural feel such as “whole”, “raw”, and “organic.” For more information on other natural solutions read above on green packaging.

Minimalist

A minimalist design can give your brand a stylish, contemporary look that is subtle but still communicates the quality of your product. A Minimalist design can be portrayed as boring or plane but there are a few techniques that you can be creative with this type of design that can be very appealing. Making sure to only use 2 or 3 colors and using clean geometric shapes are known to be appealing and eye catching. This design can attract younger and new customers.

Health

Medical cannabis is legal in more states than recreational cannabis is which means there are more opportunity to tap into the medical cannabis market. Taking advantage of the medical aspect of your product by using medical or pharmaceutical symbols and colors can add legitimacy to your business and appeal to medical users. Highlighting the health benefits by adding statements like “pain relief,” or “anti-inflammatory” can also be appealing.

A minimalist design can give your brand a stylish, contemporary look that is subtle but still communicates the quality of your product. A Minimalist design can be portrayed as boring or plane but there are a few techniques that you can be creative with this type of design that can be very appealing. Making sure to only use 2 or 3 colors and using clean geometric shapes are known to be appealing and eye catching. This design can attract younger and new customers.

Health

Medical cannabis is legal in more states than recreational cannabis is which means there are more opportunity to tap into the medical cannabis market. Taking advantage of the medical aspect of your product by using medical or pharmaceutical symbols and colors can add legitimacy to your business and appeal to medical users. Highlighting the health benefits by adding statements like “pain relief,” or “anti-inflammatory” can also be appealing.

In 1996 California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis. This sparked a trend that spread throughout most of the United States since. As more states are legalize the medical cannabis market has grown more then 310% globally within the past 4-5 years.

In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Since then, other states have joined them, including Whitlam Groups home state of Michigan.

In 2019 the cannabis packaging market in the US was valued at $101.48 billion. By 2025 this market is expected to reach $297.51 billion. This is a 22.59% growth rate within a 6-year period.

As the medical and recreational cannabis markets grow rapidly it is necessary to have suitable packaging for your cannabis products. Due to various government regulations across the globe, the packaging of cannabis is of the upmost importance. Let’s look at some of the design and packaging trends within the cannabis market.

Green Packaging

One trend that we have noticed to be popular within the cannabis market is green packaging. Green packaging uses materials that are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.

Cannabis is promoted as on all-natural solutions so making sure the packaging is eco-friendly is important to promote an image of environmental consciousness. Some eco-friendly solutions include

• Using green, amber, or blue glass bottles to keep products potent longer with UV filtering abilities
• Using less packaging waste by cutting unnecessary shipping and packaging materials
• Using Sustainable materials such as hemp, cotton, glass, and recycled materials
• Using earth-friendly materials such as renewable, recyclable, compostable and biodegradable
• Non-toxic design methods such as plant-based dyes and inks, embossing, and etching, biodegradable adhesives

Compliance Needs              

Making sure your packaging has shelf-appeal while complying with packaging laws is important when designing the right packaging solutions. While creative design is important for image appeal, complying with regulations and requirements are important for brand-trust.

Before designing your packaging product, it is important to check with your state regulations and other requirements for cannabis. It is important that before starting packaging production you share the regulations and requirements with your packaging manufacture.

Labeling requirements for cannabis products vary in each state, but there are general labeling requirements for all cannabis products. Products with more THC have a more pronounced testing and labeling requirements than products that are more marijuana-based.

One requirement for cannabis labels is that it must include the potency of marijuana and concentrates. This information can be displayed in two ways on a label. One way is to have the font be no smaller than 10-point font, bold, framed, and in a font that is at least two sizes bigger than the other label text. The second way is to have the font be no smaller than 10-point font, bold, framed, and highlighted with a bright noticeable color.

When displaying the percentage levels for cannabinoids on labels it should be shown by range and appear from lowest to highest concentration. All marijuana-infused products must also have a potency statement.

 Creative Design

 When designing cannabis packaging it is important to first know who your audience will be. The cannabis market is not a one-size-fits-all proposition though. Different demographics find different benefits from THC and CBD. Each consumer group is also split between using for health and wellness or for recreational purposes.

There is also a growing market for dog’s as well. Reports indicate that cannabis products for pets could reach a $1 billion industry by 2022.

It is important to create a design that will appeal to the demographic you want to target. If so you are targeting different demographics it is important to keep your design appealing to all. In order to keep your design sophisticated and appealing here are a few design characteristics to keep in mind:

• Clean shapes and sleek package designs
• Sharpe and clean edges
• Bright colors
• Embossing, stamped gold/silver foil, and frosted glass
• High-quality, intelligent brand marketing aimed at professionals
• Focus on medicinal-friendly logs

Users should be able to distinguish between recreational and medicinal cannabis products. It is important to ensure that your design is appealing to consumers as well as having them be able to tell the difference between medicinal and recreational products by the design of the packaging.

Here are some design options that are associated with different demographic groups.

Luxury

A luxury design can be used for an upscale look. This can attract a more mature, discerning demographic. Some design aspects that we see with a luxury look include foil accents, subdued color palettes, simplified shapes, clean lines, and elegant typography.

Natural

This design trends show cases the natural aspect of cannabis products. This design can be used when targeting the more health-conscious demographic. Some ways you can create a natural design in your packaging and labels is by using earthly colors like greens and browns, and also using words/language that have a more natural feel such as “whole”, “raw”, and “organic.” For more information on other natural solutions read above on green packaging.

Minimalist

A Minimalist design can be portrayed as boring or plane but there are a few techniques that you can be creative with this type of design that can be very appealing.

Environmental Standards

Array ( [post_title] => Environmental Standards [post_content] =>

Green Day isn’t just a band it’s every day here at Whitlam Group. Whitlam’s Environmental Policy Statement is “Protect the Environment”. We understand how important it is to make clean choices that will protect our environment for everyone’s future. Here are some of the ways that Whitlam has gone green to Protect the Environment.

Our environmental programs include:

• Energy usage reduction: Turning off lights and unused equipment, keep doors shut, shut down computers at night, and purchase energy-efficient equipment
• Reduce solid waste: Recycle paper, corrugated boxes, plastics-production scraps, and waste matrix materials.
• Emergency response team: Prevent and/or contain spills
• Hazard waste disposal: properly dispose of waste ink and solvent, used oil and liquid industrial waste, and universal waste.
• Saturated rags: Rags do not enter the waste stream since they are laundered by Absorbtech.
• Air Quality: Always maintain a clean air both indoors and outdoors by limiting harmful chemicals and keeping containers closed. We also use non-solvent inks whenever possible to limit our chemical discharge into the atmosphere.

Green Day isn’t just a band it’s every day here at Whitlam Group. Whitlam’s Environmental Policy Statement is “Protect the Environment”. We understand how important it is to make clean choices that will protect our environment for everyone’s future. Here are some of the ways that Whitlam has gone green to Protect the Environment.

Our environmental programs include:

• Energy usage reduction: Turning off lights and unused equipment, keep doors shut, shut down computers at night, and purchase energy-efficient equipment
• Reduce solid waste: Recycle paper, corrugated boxes, plastics-production scraps, and waste matrix materials.
• Emergency response team: Prevent and/or contain spills
• Hazard waste disposal: properly dispose of waste ink and solvent, used oil and liquid industrial waste, and universal waste.
• Saturated rags: Rags do not enter the waste stream since they are laundered by Absorbtech.
• Air Quality: Always maintain a clean air both indoors and outdoors by limiting harmful chemicals and keeping containers closed. We also use non-solvent inks whenever possible to limit our chemical discharge into the atmosphere.

Weatherability

Array ( [post_title] => Weatherability [post_content] =>

Weatherability is the ability of a label to withstand the effects of outdoor weathering, sunlight, heat, cold, humidity, rain, snow, and time.

Some of the components, along with the weather, that effect the life of a label include the type of ink used, the base material and the top coating of the label, and what substate the material will adhere to.

Why Weatherability Matters

The weather can cause a label to peel off easy or by itself, lose color, become illegible, scratch, or fade completely. The problem is that these labels may have important information on them that is essential or important so therefore these labels need to last as long as the products they are on.

It is important for labels to remain legible for product information such as lot numbers, barcodes, instructions, safety warnings, and warranties.

Solutions

There is no one-fits all answer when it comes to weatherability because each situation and weather type is different for every label.

It is important to understand the different types of weather environments your label will be in and make sure to test your label and review the results before choosing the best solutions.

Different types of common weathering tests that are done are:

• Accelerated Weathering
• Climate Cycling
• Water Resistance
• High Humidity Exposure
• Oven Aging and Freezer Aging
• Salt Spray Exposure
• Immersion in Chemicals or Cleaners
• Peel Strength
• Humidity

The final results will give you an evaluation on adhesion, legibility, color retention abrasion resistance and other properties. 

Why Whitlam

Whitlam has over 50 years of experience in the Automotive Industry we understand regulations and requirements of labels. With our In-House Lab we have the capabilities to test labels against some of these types of weather conditions. We have solutions that will help your label withstand the effects of outdoor weathering, sunlight, heat, cold, humidity, rain, and time.

Whitlam can offer solutions that are tougher, better and longer lasting. For more information contact Whitlam today!
