Patent

CA 2166169

A novel carrier for carrying a group of items, such as cans, bottles or the like which hold beverages, foods or the like, is made of a substantially transparent, plastic material having micro-embossed partial cube- corner type retro-reflector elements on a surface of the carrier. Each item includes an individual machine readable bar code thereon which is at least partially covered by the reflector elements. The package has a machine readable bar code thereon which is not covered by the reflector elements on the carrier. The reflector elements prevent the individual bar codes on the items from being read by a typical bar code reader beam by reflecting the light emitted from the bar code reader so the light cannot penetrate the carrier and read the bar code underneath the reflector elements. The bar code on the package, which when scanned by the bar code reader beam will retrieve package information, can be read by the reader since it is not covered by the reflector elements.
