PACKprint Demonstrations

PACKprint is a scannable product DNA serialization code specific per individual package for food items. The code prints directly onto the items' package and captures information throughout the entire supply chain through to the shopper's pantry, This scannable code elevates brand loyalty by offering transparency relating to the item, such as:

• Innovative per package/carton/pallet retailer programming
• Food origination and journey
• Package specific Ingredient and mfg details, aka personalized allergy warnings
• Manufacturing details including line-specific data points

FASTechnology Group will be demonstrating how PACKprint can be used within the packaging lines for four consumer package goods categories. These are:

• Beverages
• Snack Foods
• Meat
• Bakery

PACKprint Benefits

Private label can especially benefit from PACKprint technology as the code provides information important to manufacturers, distributors and consumers. Manufacturers and distributors can quickly verify key information without additional labeling, resource intensive manual sorting or expensive audit while consumers receive insightful data that can play a role in their purchasing decisions.

Distributors and manufacturers can also benefit from PACKprint due to the ease with which they can:

• Trace and/or recall products
• Provide additional product details
• Eliminate messy and costly labels
• Enhance shopper engagement
• Launch highly targeted marketing campaigns

Buy What You Know

PACKprint's tagline is "Buy What You Know," and it allows companies to choose what information to include, display and selectively access throughout the supply chain, extending to retail and ultimately the shopper pantry in the scannable code. Options include (and are not limited to) revolutionary retailer programming, recalculated/recalibrated ingredient information based on actual package weight, lot information, location of warehouse, actual weights, timestamp of packaging, logistic and operator details, product comparisons, private blogging and cross-merchandising.
