Barcode Graphics Inc (BGI), Canada's largest barcode services provider, now offers the NutrifactsNOW™ Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) Server. Barcode Graphics also offers Available Display Surface (ADS) Analysis Service.

Manufacturers, labs, designers, and pre-press operations can utilize this server to generate most of the NFP formats outlined in the US Nutrition Labelling Education Act (NLEA) and detailed in CFR Title 21 (FDA) & Title 9 (USDA).

Based on proven technology, the BGI NutrifactsNOW™ Server provides graphics by e-mail in EPS and PDF file formats. The Server is browser-independent, and input fields are JavaScript validated to prevent typos. Input screens are customized to the workflow needs of manufacturers, third-party labs, designers and pre-press operations.

In the next few years, most US & Canadian food packaging will need to be redesigned to accommodate new Nutrition Facts Panels (trans fat must be displayed in US NFPs by January 2006). Manufacturers, designers, and prepress operations will find the BGI NutrifactsNOW™ NFT/NFP Server a great way to cut costs, speed design time, and eliminate human-error. Manufacturers can use the server to manage formulations, scale lab values to serving size, perform rounding of g/mg amounts, calculate %DV, and produce print ready NFP graphics.

These services complement Barcode Graphics’ existing line of Nutrition services, as well as, barcode EPS/PDF masters, barcoded labels, verifiers, scanners and consulting services. To get more information on these and other services provided by Barcode Graphics, contact us at 800-263-3669.
