Anti-Counterfeiting
Anti-counterfeiting technologies prevent duplication, tampering, adulteration, and diversion of the products. As per ISO 12931: 2012, the technologies can be segmented as visible (overt), non-visible (covert), forensic & digital. We have complete in-house capability to integrate these technologies. Our security holograms, smart & secure labels and packaging incorporated with digital product authentication, prevent duplication and boost supply chain visibility.
Here is a list of some of the anti-counterfeiting solutions we offer:
Security Hologram
Holograms act as the first line of defense against counterfeiting. Manufactured using nano-optical imaging and advanced origination technologies, our holograms are near-impossible to replicate.
They combine security with aesthetics and help instantly differentiate genuine products from fakes. We offer a wide range of holographic solutions, including:
Holographic Hot Stamping Foils
Our holographic hot stamping foils enhance the visual appeal and authenticity of tags, labels, and packaging. These foils are applied using heat and pressure, making them a permanent feature that is highly resistant to tampering or removal.
Developed with multiple covert and overt features, our HSFs serve both branding and security purposes.
Revenue Stamps
Revenue stamps are primarily used for efficient tax collection, acting as official proof of duty payment. As a secondary function, they include advanced security features such as holograms, making them difficult to counterfeit. This combination ensures reliable government revenue collection while also protecting against fraud and product counterfeiting.
