Printed indicators provide the user with visual confirmation that the product has been exposed to a specific change related to sterilization, temperature, UV exposure, and more.
This functionality is achieved by printing chemically reactive inks and coatings on the product. Tapecon’s printed indicators are clear, distinct, and tamperproof – providing the highest level of confidence to all users.
Printed indicators can be used in virtually any industry or application that requires reliable and consistent monitoring of a process or an environment.
Identify heat or the presence of chemicals to ensure proper sterilization processes with sterilization indicators and temperature indicators.
Alert when a change in temperature, UV light, or humidity occurs.
Indicate a biological state or condition with biological indicators.
