I.D. Images Automates Duplicate Label Detection for Tracking Labels

Wednesday 13. April 2016 - I.D. Images LLC, is a leading label manufacturer providing thermal transfer, direct thermal, laser, integrated, custom, and linerless labels, as well as thermal transfer ribbons, forms, envelopes, laminated cards and thermal transfer and ink jet printers to distributors across the USA.

A duplicate tracking number can cause havoc for online retailers and their suppliers, resulting in losses from lost or refused shipments, expensive charge-backs plus the untold damage it can cause to customer satisfaction.

As Thomas Kubis, Director of Manufacturing at I.D. Images explains, “The unique requirement we had of ensuring no duplicate labels within a year, presented challenges not typically encountered by most converters and printers. Our due diligence process concluded that the Lake Image technology was the only system that had the database architecture to check nearly a half a billion numbers for duplication, all in real time and at full press speeds. The system was clearly able to adapt and develop to our increasing demands as our relationship developed.”

“By the end of 2015 we had printed over 500 million labels and demand is still growing at a steady rate. We have now added a third print line and considering a fourth line in the coming months,” adds Kubis. “This growth has been possible, primarily due to the speed and quality of our label production processes, but also due to the comfort the Lake Image inspection system gives us in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of every label we print…”
