Military Compliance Solution Offered by Avery-Dennison RIS

Avery-Dennison Retail Information Services (RIS) announces a new RFID military compliance solution that allows vendors to quickly and cost effectively meet DoD mandates for using RFID labels on cartons and pallets and issuing advance ship notices. The label requirements apply to vendors shipping specified commodities to specific DoD distribution centers in PA and CA in addition to the existing DoD mandates for identifying cartons and pallets with barcoded Military Shipping Labels (MSL) that contain shipping data. These labels are produced by vendors with in-house label printing system or sources from service bureaus like Avery Dennison Ticket Express(tm), who manages DoD serial number usage by CAGE code.

"In a market where RFID label costs can be substantial, Avery-Dennison RIS consistently offers highly attractive pricing," notes Mischa Reis, Avery-Dennison RIS Marketing Director, RFID. "Suppliers that ship only small to medium quantities of cases to the DoD will especially benefit from our hardware-free solution. In addition, eligible members of the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) will receive an even better price as part of the 'RFID Savings Program' we signed with the AAFA."
