Barcode Graphics Inc (BGI), Canada's largest barcode services provider, now offers the NutrifactsNOW™ Nutrition Facts Table (NFT) 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 NFT formats outlined in the recent amendments to the Canadian Food and Drug Regulations (Part II).

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.

To complement our NFT server, BGI also offers ADS Analysis Service. Our ADS Reports are based on customer supplied Adobe Illustrator package designs or dielines (usually supplied by e-mail). The report calculates ADS per government regulations and outlines the NFT formats which can be used on the package.

In the next few years, most Canadian & US food packaging will need to be redesigned to accommodate new Nutrition Facts Tables (the US FDA has recently added trans fat to US NFPs). Manufacturers, designers, and prepress operations will find the BGI NutrifactsNOW™ NFT Server a great way to cut costs, speed design time, guarantee compliance to Health Canada/FDA formats, 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 NFT graphics, instantly and inexpensively.

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 888-263-3669.
