VISTASCAN

Vista Scan Imprinting – VISTASCAN is an innovative new concept for your promotional bag marketing. By combining our COLORVISTA imprint process with digital barcode technology, we create a truly interactive experience for your audience.

A digital barcode is an imperceptible digital ID which is embedded into a COLORVISTA imprint. While your eye can’t see a digital barcode, smartphones and tablets can. Scanning the imprint with a mobile device provides an enriched user experience and enhanced marketing opportunities.

The digital barcodes can be detected with the DIGIMARC® Discover mobile app. Scan the photo on the bag, and instantly access an online video, and web page.

Art Guidelines – Vista Scan Imprinting

  • CMYK artwork required and must meet COLORVISTA art requirements.
  • A 2 in. x 2 in. minimum area is required to contain a digital barcode.
  • Photos and multi-colored art are best suited for digital barcodes. Pure White cannot be coded. Large areas of Black or extremely dark colors are not recommended.
  • Custom Green Promos will embed the digital barcode into your artwork using your or your client’s Digimarc account. Please do not apply the barcode to your art yourself, as we must make technical adjustments to the art before the barcode is embedded.
  • Multiple digital barcodes can be used in one design if the imprint area is large enough to support multiple hot spots. Each barcode requires a separate Digimarc service charge. Additional art set-up charges may also apply. See our catalog page 120 for art fees.
