About the Collaboration

One of FASTech Group’s foremost innovations is its portfolio of PACKprint® solutions, which provides a wealth of shopper value-add and essential product information in the form of shopper scannable package unique coding on the product.

Information can range from each package-specific manufacturing location to food origination, ingredient details to the carbon footprint. Then wrapped in shopper engagement unique marketing offers and tools to speed the instore shopping experience and make it faster and convenient.

The PACKprint® solution can assist with product tracing, recalls and highly targeted marketing campaigns. It’s also useful for enhancing shopper engagement while making it possible to include extensive and detailed information without the need for large and wasteful labels.

One additional innovation for this show is PACKprint® solution can now be GMA compliant. This means it conforms to standards that ensure a brand owner can maintain and store information in a single location, and the location is easily accessible to those who need it.

Digimarc® Barcoding solutions are known for dramatically reducing the time consumers spend in checkout lanes by eliminating the time-consuming need to locate a barcode on each package to scan each item. The barcode is instead embedded into the entire surface of the product’s packaging.

Scanning the code is as easy as scanning the item, which can be done at the checkout counter as well as with customer smartphones to engage online with brands.

Combine the extensive information of PACKprint® with the speedy scanning of Digimarc® Barcodes and you get an instant, easy access to comprehensive product information, a revolution for the industry.
