Lake Image Systems has deployed an automated solution at Belgium-based Reynders Label Printing for inspecting and authenticating the ScanTrust’s QRcode technology on secure packaging and labels.

A secure cloud-based product authentication and supply chain traceability specialist, ScanTrust has developed the secure QRcode which contains a unique fingerprint pattern that cannot be copied thus making it ideal for anti-counterfeit packaging applications.

As part of the work for Reynders, Lake Image provides a real-time, camera-based solution to read, decode and validate the QRcode during printing of the QRcode onto labels and packaging.

The camera-based solution also extracts the unique fingerprint image and interrogates the ScanTrust cloud system to authenticate the code before the start of each job, the firm noted.

Additionally, every QRCode is read and validated and through integration with an offline ScanTrust tool which also ensures the quality and integrity of each unique fingerprint.

Reynders Label Printing CEO Marc Reynders said: “As an organisation, we pride ourselves in delivering the highest levels of quality whilst maintaining operational and technical excellence at all times.

“With the combined ScanTrust and Lake Image solution in place, we can now fully automate our workflow according to our high standards and have the reassurance that we are delivering a quality, error free product to this prestigious client.”

The integrated and fully automated solution provides Reynders with assurance to deliver a highly effective, traceable, and low cost secure label and packaging printing service to a major brand, Lake Image said.

Reynders added: “The market for a highly effective, traceable, and low cost solution for producing secure packaging is expanding fast.

“With this solution, we are now well positioned to benefit from this growth and are already delivering this secure packaging solution to two additional clients, with a few more in the pipeline.”

Lake Image Systems is engaged n providing print quality inspection, variable data verification and integrity management solutions for the label, packaging and commercial print environments.
