I noticed the “Also Available” sections on some of the products pages. What does that mean?

It means you are very observant. Many of the products we carry have more options that our manufacturers provide but that we do not necessarily stock yet. For example our Retractable Pens have more options in body colors and ink colors. If you are interested in some of the options noted then please contact us at Service@BlueSupplyCompany.com to get pricing and availability. We have the option to bring these in with our stock shipments or have them shipped directly to your from the manufacturer. Minimums and lead times will vary.

If one of these options becomes a consistent item for you then we can add the items to our stock for your convenience.

What is a detectable product?

A detectable product is any item that has been modified so that it and its pieces can be easily identified by industrial metal detectors and x-ray systems.

Why are detectable products used?

Detectable products are primarily used by the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries to reduce the risk of foreign body contamination in products to protect the consumers. By making high-risk items detectable by the metal and x-ray detection systems in place the potential for contamination is substantially reduced.

How detectable are your products?

Materials are made detectable by evenly dispersing metallic additives throughout. X-ray visibility is achieved through the use of high-density additives. Where it is not possible to make the entire product/material detectable, foil strips or metal clasps can be incorporated to make a product partially detectable.

How detectable are your products?

Our plastics and rubbers are very detectable and contain enough metallic content to make them jump to a magnet. However, their detectability is very much dependant on the sensitivity of your metal detector or x-ray inspection system. Different aperture sizes, line speeds, food types and packaging types all have an impact on the sensitivity of your inspection system. The more sensitive your system, the smaller the piece of detectable product you will be able to identify. Testing in your own environment is highly recommended.

Are all of your products both metal detectable and x-ray detectable?

When possible yes. We try to carry items that are detectable by both systems but this is not always possible. While the presence of metal content in our products does make them metal detectable this does not always mean they will be x-ray detectable as well. The rule of thumb is when you aren’t sure, please check. We have provided the detectability information on every product page. There are also data sheets available that will contain this information in our Resources page.
