Holographic and Security Labelling
Security labelling covers several areas, including:
 |
Security labels provide a means to combat the growing worldwide problem of product counterfeiting and tampering. |
Tamper-evident labels for proof of product integrity
Tamper-evident labels clearly show, at all points of the supply chain, that a product has retained its integrity and hasn’t been tampered with or contaminated. Examples of suitable UPM Raflatac labelmaterials for this area include frangible materials like Tamperproof and Security White PE, and voiding materials like Void Silver TC and Void Text White TC.
Brand Protection labels for proof of product authenticity
Brand Protection labels come in many forms and are designed to identify labelled items as genuine. They can be divided into two basic groups:
- Overt types are designed to give an obvious and visible sign of authenticity. Typical examples are holograms.
- Covert types are designed to hold security features that only the brand owner is aware of or that can be detected only with a special device. Typical examples are invisible fluorescent fibres and luminescent coatings. A high level of security can be attained with DNA taggants, chemical markers or RFID chips.
Anti-theft labels to prevent pilferage
Anti-theft labels are widely used in the retail environment to prevent pilferage at the point of sale. Examples include electromagnetic and radio frequency labels.
