NOIDA, INDIA | Uflex Ltd. was honored by the Assn. of Intl. Metallizers, Coaters and Laminators (AIMCAL) under the Technical Excellence category for the Kohinoor Anti-Slip Bag, which is used for bulk retail packaging of premium rice. The special feature of this bag is an anti-slip device that prevents the bags from slipping over each other and off the stack when piled one over the other for unitizing, during transportation, and during display on the shelf.

The anti-slip property is achieved by using a special micro embossing process on the finished laminate prior to bagmaking. The micro embossing is registered so as to appear only on the central portion of the bag and is not visible when viewed normally.

I.D. Images was approached to print tracking labels for a global online retailer with the requirement for no duplicated labels within a 12-month period. Thomas Kubis, director of manufacturing, says, "When producing millions of tracking labels daily, the challenge for us was to deliver a solution that guaranteed that every label we produced, within a 12-month period, had a unique tracking number. Not only did we need to verify every label within a job and across multiple presses, but we also had to verify every number against all labels printed in the last 12 months. We needed to find a solution that gave us the confidence it would minimize the risk of us producing a duplicate label." I.D Images chose the Discovery Multiscan inspection system from Lake Image Systems. Central to this selection was Lake's Discovery Enterprise, a server-based solution capable of networking multiple devices to provide an end-to-end, comprehensive inspection and integrity capability. "The Lake Image technology was the only system that had the database architecture to check nearly a half a billion numbers for duplication, all in real time and at full press speeds," adds Kubis.
