Tactical UID Label Delivers Zero Reflection Design With Easy Readability

Low Contrast design UID labels available with zero reflection design for tactical use on DoD property.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) October 20, 2009 -- The Camcode Division of Horizons Incorporated has introduced a new Tactical UID Label with a zero reflection/detection design that is suitable for labeling sensitive tactical items and complies with DoD requirements for unique item identification (UID).

"Bar code labels traditionally require a high-contrast design so they may be easily read by bar code scanning equipment," said Randy Uveges, Camcode's UID Product Manager. "A high-contrast label is at odds with the objectives of vehicles and weapons systems designed for low visibility in tactical environments. Our new Tactical UID Labels are low-contrast and blend in with the marked item yet read as easily as a high-contrast tag."
