Checkpoint Systems, Inc. introduced EVO, its new high-speed, high-quality production capabilities for RFID tags and labels.The company also launched Check-Net Mobile App, an order-tracking mobile app, and its expanded RFID printing capabilities in Asia.
As more retailers realize the benefits RFID delivers, its adoption has skyrocketed. To support their initiatives, retailers are requiring high-quality, high-performance tags that are of heavier weight and often uniquely shaped, which makes them unable to be printed with conventional RFID thermal printers.
Checkpoint’s new EVO printing capability is able to encode, verify and print variable data on high-quality, high-performance RFID labels at 10 to 15 times faster than conventional RFID thermal printers.
“Up until now, high-quality RFID tags required large formats and high volumes of printing,” said James Wrigley, president and COO, Apparel Labeling Solutions, Checkpoint Systems. “EVO’s advanced technology uses templates for a retailer’s specific variable data, such as SKU, style code, department, size, color, barcode and price. That, coupled with its high speed, enables a more efficient printing process that provides retailers with significant cost savings and a faster turnaround on orders.”
EVO printing is performed to the retailer’s exact specifications, and tags can be printed on both sides. EVO allows for printing of lower volumes of high-quality tags, reducing costs for retailers. The EVO printing capability is available immediately.
Checkpoint’s global IT infrastructure, Check-Net, now has a new mobile app. Check-Net Mobile is a real-time app for smartphones and tablets that allows retailers to quickly and easily access account information, check order status on the fly as well as receive push notifications regarding orders. With Check-Net Mobile, retailers can track orders all the way through the production cycle, check orders across multiple Check-Net accounts, and review and approve or decline orders. Both iPhones and Androids are supported.
In addition, the company announced that Checkpoint’s ALS Vietnam facility now offers thermal printing of RFID tags and label production capabilities.
