  MATC REFRIGERATOR THERMOMETERS    
  PRODUCT SUMMARY INFORMATION

Most modern residential refrigerators come equipped with temperature control devices, which allow users to regulate the temperature of their refrigerator. However, most refrigerators do not have any type of temperature indicator display or thermometer to allow consumers to see if the temperature of the refrigerator is within the proper range to ensure maximum freshness and preservation of perishable food items. If the refrigerator is too warm, food items will likely spoil before their expected expiry date, or become tainted and affect the taste of your food. If the refrigerator is too cold, many liquids, fresh fruit, vegetables and other items may freeze or develop ice crystals, also having a negative effect on overall food quality and enjoyment. With the introduction of the MATC Refrigerator Temperature Indicator you can avoid the spoilage of your food on a daily basis.

To ensure the consistency of the temperature inside your refrigerator, simply place an MATC Refrigerator Temperature Indicator or Digital Refrigerator Temperature Indicator on the shelf of your refrigerator, or apply our adhesive-backed format to the inside wall of the refrigerator, beside the light. Each time the door is opened this unique and simple device will provide a clear indication of the ambient temperature range inside the consumer’s refrigerator. MATC’s new digital format cards will even provide a numerical reading of the prevailing temperature inside your refrigerator.

The MATC Refrigerator Temperature Indicators & Digital Refrigerator Temperature Indicators, as with all items in the MATC Encapsulated Liquid Crystal product line, can be custom printed or die-cut into any shape to create a high impact promotional or premium item tailored to suit individual customer requirements. Private label refrigerator temperature indicators can have sustained consumer impact, as corporate brands, messages or websites would be displayed to the consumer, each time the refrigerator door is opened. The MATC Refrigerator Temperature Indicators will remain active and accurate for a period of 5 years or more, providing literally thousands of positive impressions for the company in the future.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The standard MATC Refrigerator Temperature Indicator & Digital Refrigerator Temperature Indicators utilize Encapsulated Liquid Crystal technology to produce a simple but important household product. The standard Temperature Indicators incorporate three basic temperature ranges, these being “Too Cold” (-5 to 0 degrees Celsius or 23-32 degrees Fahrenheit), “Ideal” (1-5 degrees Celsius or 33-40 degrees Fahrenheit), and “Too Warm” (6-10 degrees Celsius or 41-50 degrees Fahrenheit). The digital Temperature Indicators incorporate eight digital temperature levels and three temperature ranges, these being “Too Cold” (-4, -2, 0 degrees Celsius or 25, 28, 32 degrees Fahrenheit), “Ideal” (2, 4 degrees Celsius or 36, 39 degrees Fahrenheit), and “Too Warm”(6, 8, 10 degrees Celsius or 43, 46, 50 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature readings provided are accurate to within 0.5 degree at each level. The size of the ELC area may be customized to suit specific customer requirements, as can any aspect of the physical support. The standard card format measures 8.5 X 5.5 cm (3 3/8” X 2 1/8”), has a 8/1000” (8 PT.) permanent adhesive paper support, and includes up to four over four color printing. The standard format facilitates easy application on the inside wall of the refrigerator and is die-cut with rounded corners. The ELC side is also protected by a transparent plastic film.
