Scanbuy Partners with DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers and Printpack to Bring 2D Barcodes to Flexible Packaging

Scanbuy Inc., a global leader in mobile marketing solutions, today announced a joint agreement with DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers (P&IP) and Printpack Inc. to use Scanbuy's 2D barcode technology for flexible packaging applications. Printpack, one of the largest flexible packaging converters in the United States, will partner with DuPont P&IP to offer this interactive technology solution to global customers.

Scanbuy's 2D barcode solution, called ScanLife, immediately connects any physical media to mobile information and content through the camera phone. The technology removes the need to type in long URLs or search by keywords on the phone. With the help of Printpack, these 2D barcodes can now be placed on virtually any flexible packaging surface from shrink sleeves on beverages to pillow pouches for salty snacks, allowing a marketer to extend information and content on to the mobile phone.

"We are very pleased to be expanding our existing partnerships with Scanbuy and Printpack," said Carolann Haznedar, global business director, DuPont Ethylene Copolymers. "Printpack's flexible packaging technology will allow us to offer a more complete solution to our customer base of major consumer good manufacturers."

Printpack's Market Development Manager, Tom Seidel, added; "Our customers are constantly in search of new and innovative ways to connect with consumers. 2D barcode technology offers an item-level, on-the-spot consumer experience that takes interactive packaging to a whole new level."

Scanbuy's technology supports all major code formats, including the EZcode which can be printed at smaller sizes than most other formats. This is especially important for packaging applications where space is extremely valuable, such as energy bar or snack food wrappers. The codes allow a customer to get recipe ideas, coupon offers, nutritional information, and more; directly from their favorite product.

"Partners like DuPont P&IP and Printpack are committed to taking this technology to the next level of market deployment," said Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer of Scanbuy, Inc. "These agreements are vital in completing the value chain as our audience size grows to millions of people around the world."

Scanbuy's technology has been commercially deployed by leading mobile operators and handset manufacturers in France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Mexico, and the United States. The mobile application is supported by every operating system and is now being preloaded on new handsets. People can download ScanLife from their mobile browser at www.getscanlife.com [1].
