Microencapsulation was invented in the 1950's by National Cash Register in Dayton, Ohio for the carbonless copy paper industry. From there the uses for the technology seemed almost endless and a wide variety of industries began to utilize different shell materials, internal phases and techniques to manufacture microcapsules for their specific end use. Lipo Technologies Inc. was incorporated in 1990 and we are a privately held company. Before we became Lipo Technologies we were Djinni Industries, whose claim to fame was encapsulated liquid crystal for mood rings and thermometers. Once we became Lipo we expanded our technology platforms and our customer base. At LTI we consider our true advantage our versatility. We think of ourselves as a solution provider and we come to you with our "toolbox" to help you solve your toughest production dilemmas. Please visit our website to get a brief overview of just some of the technologies we utilize and contact us to discuss your project in further detail.

Scratch and Sniff Fragrance Printing

Lipo Technologies handles a wide range of microencapsulated needs for many businesses. Fragrance printing is used by many companies to allow the sampling of products. This helps the end consumer make a better decision on which product they like.

A few developments in scratch and sniff / fragrance printing:
- use of menthol fragrance for nasal congestion
- packaging to enhance or mask institutional foods
- tests used to detect Alzheimer's disease
