In today’s shifting economic landscape, businesses are under growing pressure to adapt to increased costs brought on by tariffs and global uncertainty. At Microcom Corporation, we understand the challenges—and we’re here to help our partners navigate them with confidence.

While some companies are cutting corners, we’re doubling down on the values that matter most: sustainability, quality, and unmatched customer service. It’s these core principles—backed by our expertise in high-volume thermal printing and RFID technology—that help our customers stay resilient, agile, and compliant.

High-Volume Printing, Built to Perform

Whether you’re printing shipping labels, compliance tags, or RFID-enabled barcodes, Microcom’s printers are built for precision, efficiency, and durability—giving you the performance you need without costly disruptions.

RFID Compliance Made Easy

RFID is quickly becoming the new standard for retail, logistics, and supply chain traceability. With PrintEPC™ and ReadEPC™, our RFID solutions are helping customers comply with mandates like Walmart’s RFID initiative—reducing costly errors, improving inventory visibility, and simplifying tag verification processes.

By integrating RFID into your labeling workflow, you’re not only ensuring compliance—you’re investing in smarter, more sustainable operations.

Revolutionizing Patient Safety with Printers Producing Full-Color, On-Demand Risk Notification Wristbands

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, patient safety and efficiency are more critical than ever. Hospitals and medical facilities are constantly looking for ways to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve care. One often overlooked area where technology can make a significant impact is in patient wristband identification. That’s where Microcom Corporation’s latest innovation comes in—our full-color, on-demand wristband printing technology is set to change the way healthcare providers manage patient risk identification.

The Problem: Multiple Wristbands, Increased Confusion

Many hospitals follow standardized color-coded wristband systems to indicate patient risks—red for allergies, yellow for fall risk, and purple for do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status, among others. While this system improves communication among medical staff, the traditional method of using separate wristbands for each risk factor can lead to clutter, discomfort, and even confusion in high-pressure situations.

The Solution: One Wristband, All the Information

Microcom’s full-color, on-demand wristband printer eliminates the need for multiple wristbands by integrating all patient risk indicators onto a single, easy-to-read band. With our technology, hospitals can seamlessly comply with standardized wristband colors while reducing the risk of misidentification. Instead of juggling multiple wristbands, healthcare providers can now rely on a single durable, high-quality wristband that clearly displays all necessary patient risk information.

Why This Matters

Hospitals and healthcare facilities are under increasing pressure to enhance patient safety and efficiency. Our innovative wristband printing solution addresses these challenges with key benefits:

  • Compliance with Standardized Colors – Ensures consistency across healthcare settings.
  • On-Demand Printing – Reduces waste, eliminates pre-printed stock, and streamlines hospital workflows.
  • Clarity and Efficiency – One band with all critical information improves visibility and reduces errors.
  • Durable and Comfortable – Designed for long-lasting wear without compromising patient comfort.
  • Seamless Integration – Easily connects with electronic health record (EHR) systems for real-time, automated printing.

A Game-Changer for Healthcare Supply Buyers

As healthcare supply buyers look for solutions that improve hospital efficiency while maintaining compliance with industry standards, our full-color wristband printer stands out as a cutting-edge innovation. This technology is not just about printing—it’s about improving patient care, enhancing communication, and reducing errors in a field where every second counts.
