Printing Partner - Scantrust Portal - Secure Codes - Managing Substrates

Different substrates perform differently when printing Scantrust Secure Graphic codes on them. This is why it is important for a printing company to manage all substrates well. Please note, any differenced (including but not limited to: paper, lamination, ink, etc) that happen to the substrate should be defined as a new substrate on Scantrust Portal.
