A barcode is a machine-readable representation of a unique number, allowing retailers to track product sales in their inventory system. It typically consists of dark ink on a light background, forming high and low reflectance patterns that are converted to binary digits. UPCs (12 digits) and EANs (13 digits) are common types of barcodes.

Enhancing Diabetes Management with Durable Adhesive Patches

Type Strong is an Australian company dedicated to improving the daily lives of individuals managing diabetes. Founded by Ryan Lecchi, who lives with Type 1 Diabetes, the company understands the unique challenges faced by those relying on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and insulin pumps. Ryan is a design engineer who loves creating amazing products that help people living with diabetes. Their product line focuses on providing high-quality adhesive patches designed to protect these devices. Their primary products are adhesive patches that protect diabetes devices.

The patches are hypoallergenic, ensuring compatibility with sensitive skin. Crafted from latex-free materials, they minimize the risk of irritation. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with allergies or skin sensitivities.

Durability is a key aspect of Type Strong’s patches. Designed to withstand the harsh Australian summer, they offer long-lasting adhesion. Users can rely on them to keep their sensors secure for over 10 days, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Tape rolls are also available which gives you the option to create your own patches or add extra protection during higher risk sports or activities.

The company’s commitment to quality and user-centric design has garnered positive feedback from customers. Individuals appreciate the reliable performance and skin-friendly materials of the patches. With a focus on quality and user needs, Type Strong continues to support the diabetes community in Australia. They donate 50c from each online purchase to the Type 1 Foundation.

Their products have been using our EAN-13 barcodes since 2021.

Each patch comes in a resealable, waterproof pouch, ensuring that the patches remain clean and ready for use. This thoughtful packaging enhances convenience and hygiene for users.
