DataLase Announces the Launch of the New DataLase CASEMARK Tape Applicator at Total Packaging 2007


(FEBRUARY 2007) - DataLase, originator of the award winning DataLase® process, will be unveiling its latest addition to the DataLase® product line at Total Packaging 2007. The new applicator for the groundbreaking DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape solution is the first piece of hardware to be made available as part of the groundbreaking DataLase® suite of products. The applicator will be demonstrated alongside other DataLase products on stand #4231 at NEC, Birmingham, May 15th - 18th 2007.

The DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape applicator has been developed to apply the unique DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape directly onto secondary packaging such as corrugate shipping crates. The new applicator will enable packers and manufacturers to apply DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape to outer case packaging, on the final production line. With the new applicator for DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape it is now possible for the packer/manufacturer to decide where on the corrugate box the variable information (such as bar codes) is required, and the cost-effective tape is then applied directly onto the packaging.

"With the new applicator, packagers and manufacturers have the flexibility to harness the unique benefits of the DataLase® process", comments Steve Kelly, CEO DataLase. "As a company we are keen to offer our customers a whole range of print and packaging solutions, and the DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape applicator is the latest addition to our award-winning suite of products."

DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape was unveiled at Pack Expo 2006, as an alternative to the award-winning DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) pre-print solution. With DataLase® CASEMARK(TM), the corrugate packaging was supplied to the packer/manufacturer by the converter, pre-coated with the DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) ink.

DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Tape contains the unique DataLase® ink, which, when exposed to a low power CO2 laser, changes from white to black, producing a positive image.

Also exhibiting on stand #4231 will be the company's revolutionary DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) label replacement solution, as well as DataLase® PACKMARK(TM) for applying high speed, on-demand variable information to primary packaging materials.
