BEIJING--(Business Wire)--
Datacard Group, the world leader in secure ID and card
personalization solutions, today announced that Beijing Postage Stamp
Printing House has completed the installation of the first
Datacard(TM) MJ7500(TM) card personalization system in China and the

than 20 million anti-counterfeiting labels. These labels will be used

labels' unique features allow consumers to certify their products as
authentic and easily identify fakes.

"The cooperation between Beijing Postage Stamp Printing House and

area of innovative inkjet personalization systems."

quality and speedy system output enables Beijing Postage Stamp House
to produce thermal-like print quality labels with highly secure
personalized data--such as barcodes and text--at unrivaled speeds.

Designed to personalize products consisting of a wide range of
substrates, the MJ7500 system features UV-curable, DoD inkjet printing
technology. It delivers production speeds of up to 30,000 cards per
