  Universal Track and Trace (from Avery Dennison) : A new labeling solution that allows manufacturers to meet and even exceed U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) requirements for product tracking, and then manage the tracking data online, is now available from Avery Dennison.

With the Universal Track and Trace program, factories can:

• Incorporate a unique alphanumeric identifier--or garment license plate--into product tracking labels.

• Create links to component information and other specific manufacturing data.

• View and download the data from a secure website.

The unique alphanumeric identifier is the key to retrieving data about a specific component in a fabric lot. In the event of a garment recall, the label ID leads to the garment's fabric supplier and then helps determine the full scope of goods that used the questionable fabric.
