SATO America, a leader in barcode printing since introducing the first thermal transfer barcode printer in 1979, offers an extensive range of barcode labeling solutions for tracking and tracing food products. It is essential for food distributors to have complete visibility and traceability throughout the supply chain and to the customer.

SATO printing solutions enable complete control and traceability to efficiently and safely manage products from suppliers to the customer and back to the distributor as returns. Tainted or spoiled food products can be easily identified, recalled, and returned without incident, which saves time, money, and potential litigation. Also, tracking pallets and recycled or returnable assets are yet another way of lowering costs and improving efficiency. SATO…food for thought!

The complete SATO product line includes direct thermal and thermal transfer printers, OEM print engines, printer accessories, label design software, labels and thermal transfer ribbons.
