Repacorp: Offering End-to-End Custom Labeling and Packaging Solutions

Another aspect is the customization. Oftentimes, customers opt for seamless customization. To that end, we offer standard as well as custom solutions for a wide range of RFID applications and in a variety of sizes, materials, and with a wide range of inlays. Our flexographic presses offer up to 12 colors using spot colors, 4-color process, and 6-color Hexachrome capabilities with 200 line screen and direct-to-plate technologies that rival offset printing at a low price. We also use special UV inks, varnishes, and adhesives for different applications.

What are the different customizations that you offer?

We offer customized labels for various requirements. Our configurations include custom sizes, materials, UV inks, varnishes, and adhesives. In addition to that, our offerings include various configurations such as rolls, sheets, pin feed, and fanfold. Repacorp employs diverse materials, including retro-reflective, magnetic, vinyl, polyester, films, Tyvek, and more. As mentioned, our flexographic presses can print up to 12 colors in one pass and up to 20 inches wide. We also have unique solutions for harsh environments, asset control, and warehouse management.

Quality check is another aspect that differentiates us. Repacorp can check barcodes to make sure it meets the mandatory quality parameters. We have developed a press that encodes the printer chip and prints the encoded value on the face.

What is the methodology that your company adopts while serving your customers?

Most of our non-retail customers come with a specific requirement and demand for a particular solution. In that case, we listen to their business requirements and help them adopt RFID into their existing labels. While designing RFID labels, it is important to understand details such as read-distance, materials used for tagging, and inlays, as it helps us meet our customer’s unique requirements. After figuring out all these technical aspects, we go on to the printing process.

For our customers in the retail sector, there are certain specifications that are already in use. Depending on what they are tagging, the inlays can be used from different suppliers.

Can you cite a customer success story?

One of our customers who were using three types of labels approached us for unifying the information contained in the labels. They were using two non RFID labels and one RFID label for the cartons before shipping it out of the facility. This affected the efficiency significantly as the packaging process needed the involvement of more employees and consumed additional time. After understanding the flaws in the client’s process, we designed a longer label that combined all the information into one label. Our design helped them save time, as they don’t have to paste labels that are located at three different parts of the warehouse.

What does the future hold for your company?

RFID tags are finding applications in new niche sectors such as healthcare, attendee tracking, race timing, and IT asset tracking, to name some. Recently we have designed RFID wristbands for the healthcare sector. In addition to that, many retailers are beginning to understand how RFID can directly benefit the business’s bottom line. In the days to come, we will be focusing more on such niche requirements that utilize the practicality of RFID technology.
