Learn how Conti Systems, Inc. can help minimize the disruption to your business. Without a doubt, you are likely aware of the supply chain constraints that we all continue to experience. We realize this situation directly impacts expected shipment timeframes
Many manufacturers believe that the quality of their product matters most, and try to scrimp on the product packaging in order to increase profits. Of course, we’re in business to make profits, but consumers often judge a product by the
Recently, Business Development Manager, Louis Conti, of Conti Systems visited IIMAK Headquarters in western New York. Established in 1993, Conti Systems is a full-service provider of barcoding, labeling, and product identification solutions.

Shrink sleeves continue to grow in popularity, and appear to be a market driven mainly by the consumer. People really like the attractive full body coverage shrink sleeves can offer over traditional labels. They can be customized very easily, which
It can vary but anywhere from 14-20 business days is standard. Typical 7–10 business days from approved proof — slightly longer than standard custom labels because of the additional substrate and adhesive validation. Rush production is available for compliance-driven or
Yes — food cold-storage labeling including production line labels, finished-goods labels, and rack labels. Different parts of the operation have different temperature exposure profiles, and we spec accordingly rather than applying one cold-storage default everywhere.
Yes — ANSI MH10.8 compliance labels on cold-rated substrate. Compliance labeling for cold-chain shipments has to meet both the regulatory format requirement and the environmental durability requirement, and we produce to both.
High-tack and specialty adhesives for less-than-ideal application surfaces. Tell us the surface condition — frosted metal, oily cardboard, powder-coated steel, condensation-coated plastic — and we spec the adhesive that bonds reliably to that specific surface.
Yes — FDA-compliant substrate and adhesive for pharmaceutical cold chain shipments, validated for the temperature range and condensation cycles typical of pharma cold chain. We coordinate with your regulatory team on documentation requirements.
Standard printers don’t reliably — condensation forms on cold print engines, slowing ribbon transfer and degrading print quality, and electronic components can fail at low temperatures. We supply printers configured for cold environments with heated printheads, condensation-protected enclosures, and sealed
Resin ribbon. Wax and wax-resin ribbons crack and flake in freezer environments, leaving barcodes unscannable within weeks. We always spec resin ribbon for any cold-storage labeling, and we match the resin formulation to the printer model.
Yes — labels passing all three sections of BS5609: seawater immersion, weathering, and abrasion. Required for marine cold-chain shipping. When compliance documentation is required for shipping or audit, we provide the test pass documentation.
Yes — cold-rated adhesives bond at sub-freezing application temperatures. Standard adhesives require room-temperature application; ours don’t. This matters when labels have to be applied to product that’s already in the freezer rather than at a room-temperature staging area.
Polyester substrate with cold-rated adhesive is rated for -20°F and below in service. Specialty adhesives are rated down to -65°F for deep-freeze and cryogenic applications. We spec to your actual service temperature, including the lowest temperature the label has to
