Parcel - October 2008 - (Page 41) advertiser index Atlantic Freight www.atlanticfreight.com Page 39 products & services Parcel Plus Offering DHL Global Mail recently announced the expansion of its Smartmail Parcel Plus service to include packages weighing up to 10 lbs. With this new weight limit, Parcel Plus now offers e-tailers and other high-volume mailers a more cost-effective alternative to traditional courier options for residential delivery. The Parcel Plus delivery area covers the continental US as well as Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and APO/FPO addresses. In addition to free Delivery Confirmation, Parcel Plus provides Web Portal access for viewing tracking information, transit times, piece-level billing and custom reporting. Even with these advantages, Parcel Plus still reduces the cost of shipping, enabling companies to stop paying delivery-area and residential surcharges. There are no address correction fees, and unlike competing services, Parcel Plus offers Saturday delivery at no additional charge. The expanded Parcel Plus service is available effective September 1, 2008. To qualify, package dimensions must be 3”x 6”x .25” to 18”x 14”x 6”. www.dhl.com Automated Packaging Systems www.autobag.com/shipping Page 7 Blue Water Consolidators parcel.bluewaterconsolidators.com Page 39 Cass Information Systems www.cassparcel.com Page 13 Datatrac www.datatrac.com Page 37 DHL Global Mail www.dhlglobalmail.com Page 44 Distribution Management Group www.dmgincorporated.com Page 29 RFID-CP Schober USA unveiled their RFID-CP, which is an ideal solution for medium and small label runs using pre-printed heavy label stock. This new technology inserts UHF and HF inlays under die-cut blank or pre-printed labels and validates the finished product. Control and monitoring is accomplished through the new pendant station, which houses an industrial PC. Additional features, which make this a cost-effective RFID solution, include a new tag dispenser with web tension relief, strategically placed start/stop buttons, greater information gathering capabilities and optional static discharge protection. This proven technology works with transponders in accordance with ISO specifications, in widths from 20 mm to 80 mm (with lengths of 20mm to 180 mm). Pre-printed labels with widths from 101.6 mm to 203.6 mm can be applied at rates from 5,000 to 20,000 labels per hour. An on-board RFID reader ensures the readability of each RFID tag after integration. An automatic control system keeps transponders and printed labels in register. The RFID-CP provides efficient and economical production of contact-less readable tickets for public transportation cards, admission tickets, garments, swing tags and more. www.schoberusa.com Dodge www.dodge.com Page 2 Endicia www.envelopemanager.com Page 23 Genco www.gencoparcel.com Page 31 Green Mountain Consulting www.greenmountainconsulting.com Page 11 Hasler, Inc. www.haslerinc.com Page 5 Intravex www.intravex.com Page 15 Logicor www.logicor.com Page 19 NPI www.npisorters.com Page 9 PARCEL www.PARCELindustry.com Page 34, 38 Precision Software www.precisionsoftware.com Page 33 Prime Vision www.primevision.com Page 35 High Data Capacity Bar Code Specification AIM Global announced the public availability of International Symbology Specification-Datastrip 2D.
