Track & Trace
SATO printing solutions… consumers and producers need to know!
Overview
The ability to track and trace goods in the interest of consumer safety is a global concern. Government traceability requirements are emerging quickly and producers cannot afford to fall behind in their efforts to comply. However, implementing a traceability program doesn't have to be daunting.
Printing solutions from SATO facilitate complete visibility of products from producer to customer and back to the distributor. Tainted or spoiled products can be easily identified, recalled, and returned without incident, saving time, money, and potential litigation.
