Smart label

Timestrip(R) smart-label technology, which measures elapsed time, is moving a step forward. The label automatically monitors elapsed time and can work under a variety of conditions, from ambient and refrigerated to freezing and extremely high temperatures. When the label is activated, a food-grade liquid travels across it at a consistent rate, giving a clear indication of the amount of time that has passed since the product was opened or first applied. The technology can work in an applied-label format or can be integrated into products or packaging. The blister or button that activates the Timestrip can be incorporated on the back or the front of the label. Timestrip can measure elapsed time for periods ranging from a few minutes to 12 months, and across a wide range of temperatures, which can help add value to all kinds of products, from food to cosmetics, household appliances and medicines, according to the co. By repositioning the activating blister onto the front of the label, so that it's in a more prominent position and is easier to activate, Timestrips can be even more attractive and easy to implement for major brands, the co. says.
