The Trace-It is BSC's best-value food factory pen, engineered by BST using the same XDetect compound as our J800, delivering full BRC Issue 9 compliance, metal detectability, and x-ray visibility at a price point built to compete with Detectamet.

Designed for production floors where compliance is non-negotiable but budget is real. The Trace-It's compact, ergonomic body is shatterproof, fully detectable from tip to ink cartridge cap, and fitted with the same 30,000-foot stainless steel ink cartridge as the J800, same write-out, same detection performance, lower per-pen cost.

The one difference from the J800: no antimicrobial additive. If your facility requires pathogen-resistant surfaces, the J800 is your pen. If you need a reliable, audit-ready detectable pen that outlasts the competition without the premium, this is it.

Available in 5 body colors for color-coded contamination control. FDA and EU food contact approved. Request a free sample at Service@BlueSupplyCompany.com.
