VACCINE MONITORING PHARMA LABELLING FOOD STORAGE DISTRIBUTION TECHNOLOGY

Fully customized labelling technology

Oli-Tec™ is an intelligent label technology that mirrors the decay cycle of the product to which it is applied.

Custom Time Alert

Key Action Dates for Temperature Sensitivities are determined by the manufacturer or producer for their products based on their own historical test data. Oli-Tec™ labels are designed and produced to match these dates.

Consumer Education

Oli-Tec™ provides a timelline indication to the consumer on the suitability for consumption or use in a simple, graphical manner which is easily understood.

Storage Condition Monitoring

Oli-Tec™ technology is both Time and Temperature sensitive, to account for different storage conditions.

Visual Alert of Time & Temperature Conditions

Time monitor labelling

The Tick emblem turning from Amber to Red indicates that the label has been activated. The Red Timeline will slowly move along the Amber viewing window to indicate the remaining life left in the product. When the viewing window becomes completely Red, then the product should be discarded.

Flexible labels – maximum technology

The Oli-Tec™ label is a multi-layer construction, with a central active layer comprising of a number of reservoirs and connecting features. Once the label is activated, either at the point of packaging, or on the point of opening, the Oli-Tec™ label commences operation.

The internal scientific process is one of diffusion, and inside the label there are three distinct functional areas/zones.

Activation Zone

Contains the Activation Media that activates the label. The media is contained in a separate reservoir prior to activation.

Control Zone

Contains a colour changing diffusion regulating indicator media, which is connected to the viewing zone. In use, the activation media reacts with the indicator media and initiates the internal chemical process.

Viewing Zone

Primary diffusion zone, the progress through which is determined by both time and temperature. Having a clear window through which the progress of the colour change can be seen allows the end user to see a real life timeline of the decay of the product.

Oli-Tec™ Capabilities

Digital Printing
The Oli-Tec™ technology uses digital printing as opposed to traditional printing methods.
Whether internal designs to change label timings, or designs to change the top decorative layer, these designs can be changed easily reducing machine downtime due to the whole process being digital.
Flexibility
for Label Reels
Some smart labels in the market have either significantly raised sections of surfaces to allow for the mixing/activation of medias, or are unduly stiff which is not conducive to circular winding.

The Oli-Tec™ label has been developed to be supplied as standard label reels and rolls.
Automated Application
Oli-Tec™ labels can be applied using standard high speed label applicators which have been modified by the incorporation of a simple low-cost activation roller mechanism. Once the application machine has been prepared, there is no additional pre-process step to the packaging procedure.
Simple Activation
Oli-Tec™ labels can be activated by production operators or end users by hand or by simple hand-held tools.
Easy Adoption
Oli-Tec™ machines use recognised printing industry manufacturing processes.
Standard Storage
Much like traditional labels, Oli-Tec™ labels can be stored in ambient conditions. No refrigerated storage is required.
Recyclable
All materials used to construct the Oli-Tec™ label are made from recyclable material meaning we fall within the ‘zero waste to landfill’ objective.
Freezer Labels
The label continues its lifecycle monitoring process at freezer temperatures, where the life of the label is slowed to match that of the product in recognition of the reduction in temperature. If the label is activated, a standard 5 day label would last for 2-3 months in the freezer.
Communication
Not only does the Oli-Tec™ label replicate the decay of a product at the varying storage temperatures, our cold store labels also have features on the Top Decorative Layer that allow end users to visually see if the storage conditions for the goods is correct.
