Pop! Technology

Pop! Technology is a material science company founded with the world’s first patented active barcodes. Today, we offer a portfolio of barcode-based packaging sensors providing manufacturers and retailers with new tools for product safety and counterfeit detection. Pop! Technology’s barcodes are an enhancement to any barcode, such as the Universal Product Code (UPC), so have all the capabilities of the base barcode. Our active and interactive barcodes record additional critical data streams: if a product is authentic or if an item has been mishandled. For instance, one of our products detects if a vial of insulin has been exposed to improper temperatures and prevents the item from being used. With their camera-enable mobile phone, consumers can check the insulin using a Pop! barcode prior to self-administration.
