A method, comprising: providing a combination of a package and a label attached to the package, wherein the label comprises a fluorescent substance, illuminating the label with excitation light so as to cause the label to emit fluorescence light, capturing an image of the label by using an imaging unit, and detecting the position of the label by analyzing the captured image and/or detecting a degree of adhesion of the label by analyzing the captured image.

The present invention relates to a baggage tag (1) to be fastened to a luggage, such that the luggage can be tracked and traced via the baggage tag. The baggage tag comprising a face material (5) with a first side (6) and a second side (7). A liner (8) with a first side (9) and a second side (10), wherein the first side is siliconized and facing against the second side (7) of the face material (5); and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (11), which is arranged between the second side of the face material and the first side of the liner. The baggage tag further comprising an RFID tag which tag comprises an RFID antenna (3) and an IC (4) attached onto the antenna such that the antenna and the IC form the RFID tag and wherein the RFID antenna is formed directly onto the second side of the liner.

A flexible self-adhesive label comprising a radiation-sensitive indicator for a syringe, the syringe comprising a barrel part with a front part and a rear part, having a tip at the front part, a piston at the rear part, and an exterior surface with a marking thereon. The label is attached to at least one part of the syringe and does not overlap with the marking. Also disclosed is a labeling method, kit and dispenser featuring such labels.

The present invention relates to a method of identifying and/or distinguishing materials by means of luminescence, wherein at least one luminescent substance is incorporated into the material and/or applied onto the material and the luminescence behaviour of the substance is analysed after excitation by means of radiation, and the use thereof for identifying and/or sorting and/or recycling and/or authenticating and/or performing a quality check and/or formulation check on materials.

The present invention regards a device for recognizing the authenticity of a packaged product to be sold, arranged in a container provided with a passage through which the product may be extracted for the utilization or consumption thereof, comprising a seal (16) whose breakage is performed so as to allow the opening of said passage. The device comprises an element (19) for the authentication of the product positioned on a portion of the seal not visible from the external thereof and solely accessible following the breakage of the seal. Preferably said element (19) for authenticating the product consists of a unique code generated through algorithms, the container of the product is a bottle and the relative seal is the capsule (16) for covering the neck of the bottle and the relative cap.

The present invention relates to a label for marking items comprising a carrier material with a top side and a bottom side. The carrier material is printable at least on the top side. Adhesive layers are provided on the bottom side and the top side, wherein at least the adhesive layer provided on the top side can be activated for example by heat.

Process for making a fabric label (1) containing one piece of unique electronically-readable information; characterized by comprising the following steps: providing a fabric bolt made of a material mainly comprising synthetic fibers at least in the weft, generating at least one array of m×n cells, being n the number of rows and m the number of columns; generating at least one first sequence of variable information (3); associating the variable information (3) to the cells of the previous array in compliance with a predetermined logic; inserting, by the use of an image assembler, the graphic form that can be associated with each of said variable information (3) into a cell of a graphics array (5) with size m×n; printing said array (5) of images on a first medium (8) through a digital printing process; transferring said print, by heating, through a process named sublimation on said bolt (7) to generate a second medium (9) of fabric comprising said array (5); storing in a database the variable information (3) printed on each label (1), taking care of tuning the column m and the row n on which every information has been positioned; cutting the second medium (9) of fabric in m ribbons or labels rows (12) having size adapted to be wound on bobbins (13) that are wide as wide the single cell is.

A mobile device includes a body configured to be worn by a user; a lock switchable between an open state and a closed state, where, when the lock is in the closed state, the mobile device is prevented from being removed from the user; and a wireless data system, where the wireless data system and the lock are jointly configured such that, when the lock is open, the wireless data system is at least partially disabled.

An apparatus and method are provided for tagging or labeling an item or equipment for identification and tracking purposes. The apparatus comprises a length of supply material having a first section with a first opening and a second section that may have additional features such as notches or second openings that are configured to engage with the first opening when the second section is pulled through the first opening in the first section. By pulling the second section through the first opening, a loop of material may be formed and applied around an item or product for identification and tracking purposes. Such a tag or label is particularly advantages for use with medical devices and equipment.
