October 9, 2008 - Source tagging technology that embeds radio frequency identification (RFID) tag in corrugated shipper or paperboard folding carton earns Innovator of the Year honors. Contest cosponsored by Association of Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC), Alexandria, VA; Board Converting News, Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ, recognizes Embedding System for Flexo Folder-Gluers, as well as developers, HIDE-Pack, Montreal, QC, Canada; Integrated Solutions Group of Domino Printing Sciences Plc, Cambridge, UK. During converting process, layers of adhesive encapsulate RFID inlay so it’s part of packaging medium. Integration of tag not only preserves its performance under detrimental conditions such as condensation resulting from cold storage or shocks from handling on automated equipment, but also simplifies adoption of RFID. “HIDE-Pack reduces the need for capital-intensive RFID printers and applicators, simplifies RFID adoption, and cuts consumable costs by eliminating the need for a paper label,” adds B. Dwain Farley, ceo of Domino ISG (Americas). “It truly is a revolutionary technology that can enable true traceability throughout the supply chain.”
