Smart Label Solutions
Variable Data Printing (VDP)
Variable data printing allows for the integration of unique, item-specific information into every production run. This includes the application of sequential numbering, batch details, traceability data, 2D or QR codes, personalised text, and variable images. These labels serve as individual data points that strengthen supply-chain visibility, enhance authentication programs, and facilitate real-time consumer engagement.
Widely used across regulated markets and complex product lines, our smart VDP label solutions improve data accuracy and reduce risk by ensuring every unit carries a distinct, verifiable identity.
Product & Brand Security
Protecting product integrity requires security measures designed to prevent counterfeiting and illicit interference. Our smart security labels and shrink sleeves incorporate tamper-evident features that make any attempt to alter a product immediately visible.
For high-value sectors, such as apparel, electronics, and cosmetics, we offer holographic deterrents and covert features—including invisible UV fluorescent inks, bespoke embossing, and microtext. These technical additions ensure products remain authenticated and trusted throughout the supply chain.
Secure QR Codes
Scantrust® technology utilises a patented, copy-proof micro-pattern embedded within a secure QR code to enable instant authentication without a dedicated app. This smart label approach allows consumers, inspectors, and partners to verify authenticity via a smartphone, triggering immediate alerts if a counterfeit is detected. Brands gain real-time intelligence into scan activity, risk locations, and engagement. The system facilitates a direct link to digital content, combining robust anti-counterfeit protection with functional consumer interaction and technical supply-chain data.
Sustainable Label Solutions
Achieving sustainability goals requires a disciplined approach to material reduction, recyclability, and responsible production. We engineer smart, sustainable labels using thinner facestocks, recycled and bio-based materials, and ocean-bound plastic options.
Our technical team ensures constructions, including wash-off PET labels, are compatible with existing recycling streams, supported by our partnerships with Polyco and Fibre Circle. By utilising minimal-material formats like Labelling by Banding®, along with ECG, UV LED, and digital printing, we further minimise waste and energy consumption.
RFID Smart Labels
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) facilitates the automated identification and tracking of goods without line-of-sight scanning. These smart labels utilise embedded RFID inlays to transmit high-accuracy data, making them essential for logistics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. The inlays are engineered to integrate seamlessly with various label shapes and materials without affecting appearance. By enabling rapid data capture and supply chain transparency, RFID technology improves operational efficiency and reduces losses throughout the distribution network.
