On guard: Security labels protect product integrity and authenticity
Global brand owners make some of the world’s best-loved goods. However, they also produce products that are vulnerable to tampering attempts and contamination. It’s clear that these companies need some serious force protection.
UPM Raflatac has stepped up to the plate with new security labeling products that hang tough as they pass through the supply chain, giving high value products the personal attention and vigilant surveillance they deserve from initial application through distribution, display, sale and usage.
Each of these tough products has a built-in security feature that provides visible evidence of destruction when altered, which helps authenticate products – and proves that a strong offense is the only way to go.
