    • New Label, same Quality

    Introduction of the new product labeling

    For more than 150 years, Optibelt has stood for proven product quality and durability. Now we are breaking new ground with the new labeling for our belt range. In the coming years, we will successively convert the various product groups to the new labeling so that we can show you not only the proven quality, but also a lot of interesting and important additional information directly on the product.

    Everything at a glance

    Information directly on the product

    QR-Code

    for additional information and explanations

    Pictograms

    for displaying the functions

    EAN-Code

    including article number

    Trace-Code

    for advanced batch tracing

    Which products are being converted?

    We are successively changing the labeling of the belts:

    • optibelt RED POWER 3
    • optibelt BLUE POWER
    • optibelt BLUE POWER 2
    • optibelt SK
    • optibelt VB
    • optibelt SUPER TX
    • optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PRO
    • optibelt DK

    By when will the adjustment take place?

    The production sequence begins with the production of wrapped belts, followed by open-sided belts. V-ribbed and timing belts follow at a later stage.

    Will there be parallel labeling of identical items?

    Yes, during the production changeover, old and newly labeled products may temporarily be in circulation at the same time for production reasons. However, the product quality will not change, meaning that all belts are compatible with each other.

    What are the functions of the barcodes?

    The barcode on the left is the commonly known EAN code. The EAN code corresponds to a 13-digit number sequence, also known as a GTIN. This standardized procedure uniquely defines a product worldwide in the retail industry, as an EAN code is only assigned once. To avoid confusion with the second code on the belt, we mark the codes accordingly. Once production has started without any problems, we will check to what extent it is possible or necessary to visually adapt the imprint or supplement the existing belt designation.

    The second barcode is the trace code, which enables us to trace the respective production steps internally. The sequence of digits in the code itself comes from the respective production paper from production and, if batch tracing is required, provides more details on the materials used, etc.

    Which profiles will appear in the new design?

    At the start, the roll-out was initiated with the optibelt RED POWER 3 in the SPB narrow V-belt profile. All other profiles will be successively converted. In addition, the optibelt SK and the optibelt VB are currently being produced as V-belts in the new design.

    Which length ranges are affected by this adjustment?

    The adjustment affects all length ranges. There are only exceptions with regard to the profile.

    Are there exceptions? If yes, which?

    Yes, there will still be exceptions:

    • With small VB profiles (e.g. 5, 6), the necessary details (e.g. QR code or barcode) cannot be displayed legibly due to the small belt width.
