Checkpoint Systems Enhances Its Check-Net Print Shops; Can Now Print, Encode, Test One Million RFID Labels in 24 Hours

Significantly Boosts Ability to Rapidly Produce Accurate, High-Quality RFID Labels for Apparel Retailers' Source Tagging Initiatives

THOROFARE, N.J. - Oct. 16, 2014 - Checkpoint Systems, Inc., a leading global supplier of merchandise availability solutions for the retail industry, today announced that its Check-Net print shops have implemented significant new printing capabilities that allow them to quickly print, encode and test RFID labels for apparel retailers and manufacturers employing its source tagging capabilities.

Check-Net's unique new system is eight times faster than industry- standard thermal transfer printers and offers higher accuracy (99.9%) and quality, including multicolor RFID label printing. This makes Checkpoint's source tagging program ideal for apparel retailers with global operations that require a large number of labels for their stores around the world. In fact, Check-Net can now print and encode one million RFID labels in 24 hours.

Check-Net increases operational efficiency by delivering unprecedented value to retailers in handling source tagging initiatives. From managing Hard Tag @ Source programs to replenishing stock items such as self- adhesive radio frequency (RF) labels on rolls and woven or printed apparel labeling solutions, the service facilitates the complete ordering process and ensures the right products are delivered at the right time.

Along with the new printing systems, Check-Net offers new processes and quality controls, including individual re-serialization for EPC codes. EPC testers are attached to printers, and Checkpoint follows strict manufacturing processes to ensure that the RFID labels that are not used are destroyed. In addition, Checkpoint uses anti-static solution packing to avoid RFID chips being damaged.
