DataLase Showcases its Mass Customization Solutions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2007


(September 27, 2007) - DataLase, originator of the award winning DataLase® process, will be exhibiting its range of mass customization solutions for the first time in the US, on booth #S-5251 PACK EXPO Las Vegas. The unique DataLase process uses a laser reactive coating which undergoes a color change when exposed to a CO2 laser. The DataLase process delivers the flexibility of customization with the cost savings of mass production. PACK EXPO takes place in Las Vegas from October 15 -17, 2007.

DataLase® CASEMARK(TM) Flexo, which offers a number of unique benefits to the market, will be among the range of mass customization solutions on show on booth #S-5251. It is the only system capable of delivering a consistently verifiable bar code on-line and direct-to-carton. This solution provides end-users with the flexibility to apply barcodes and variable information as well as other customized information which has been traditionally pre-printed by the corrugated box supplier. This significantly enhances production line efficiency for both converters and end-users, with change over time and small order fees dramatically reduced.

Also present on booth #S-5251 at PACK EXPO 2007 will be DataLase® PACKMARKTM, a unique coding product used for applying variable information to primary packaging materials. With DataLase PACKMARK, the DataLase chemistry is applied to the packaging, and when activated with a CO2 laser, a positive image appears. Due to the stability of the image produced, this innovative solution, which has a wide range of applications relating to coding, marking, and tracking and tracing, provides extreme protection for brand integrity.

"We are looking forward to introducing our new mass customization solutions to the US Market," comments Kevin Murray, VP and General Manager, DataLase Inc. "PACK EXPO Las Vegas is the ideal opportunity to speak to end-users about our wide product range and we are sure that it will be a successful show."
