Features of Timestrip
Timestrip’s time products measure the amount of time a product has been in use or opened after the indicator is activated. They can be calculated for minutes, days or months.
Temperature monitoring products offered by Timestrip® can tell you not only that a breach occurred but the duration of the temperature breach. They are currently calculated at a variety of threshold temperatures that are perfect to use for supermarket delivery & storage, food services and delivery & storage of pharmaceutical products.
Timestrip now has a full range of products applicable across many industry sectors, providing information from elapsed time to breaches of temperature and more. An example of the product range includes:
Timestrip® Indicator labels
Timestrip® is a unique end-of-life indicator which uses colour to communicate elapsed time in a room temperature environment. Timestrip® labels can monitor anything from a few hours up to twelve months. Some of the world’s most trusted brands, such as Whirlpool®, WD40®, Febreze® and Tetra® have benefited from adopting Timestrip®.
Timestrip Plus™ Indicator Labels
Where product quality can be compromised by exposure to higher temperatures, let TimestripPlus™ monitor conditions during transit and storage. TimestripPlus™ not only indicates that one or more temperature excursions have occurred, it also shows the accumulated time that a product has been exposed to excessive temperature.
DefrostWatch™ & Fridgesafe labels
DefrostWatch™ sits in the freezer and tells you whether its critical temperature has been exceeded and, more importantly, for how long. Fridgesafe™ communicates that one or more temperature excursions have occurred and records the total amount of time your product has spent out of the fridge.
Fridge Thaw™ labels
Fridge Thaw™ labels assist and automates HACCP compliance for products that are stored in a frozen condition, then depending on product demand, are thawed and cooked or sold fresh.
Promotional time indicators labels
Timestrip technology gives you the ability to provide an effective, unique, promotional tool, whether for gaming, prizewinning, or as an ‘active’ coupon. Promotional items can be customised for your individual needs.
