‘Brilliant Label enables Checkpoint’s Apparel Labeling Solutions business to supply its customers with a source-to-store solution, through which all their apparel labeling needs can be met by Checkpoint as a single supplier,’ said Steven Davidson, president of Checkpoint’s Apparel Labeling Solutions business.
Checkpoint’s Check-Net service, the company’s 24/7 global ticket ordering, logistics and data management platform, allows retailers and vendors to order various tags and labels for individual product lines. The system automatically allocates orders to one of more than 30 strategically located print shops around the world, where they are processed. Apparel vendors can then apply tags and labels at source, during the garment manufacturing process. The location of Checkpoint print shops plays a significant role in helping to minimize and control the overall labeling expenditure for any retailer or vendor.
The acquisition of Brilliant Label delivers the ability to embed RFID tags directly into other garment trim items such as fabric and woven brand labels and a host of other carriers.
