Security Labels for Tamper-Resistant Packaging

These are suitable for security and warranty protection uses of all kinds and the type and features of your security label will be made to the specification you need for the application you require.

Positive ID Labels can make security labels with a number of security features to meet any requirements. Security print features include; micro text print, guilloche patterning, copy evident backgrounds and purposely placed micro design faults and invisible inks.

There are also a number of physical features that are incorporated to ensure security. These include “blockout” features, tamper evident adhesive, destructible material, micro cuts and more.

Security Labels can have a number of applications; Asset Tracking Labels, Warranty Protection Labels, “Void if Removed” Labels, secure certification or inspection recording. The task of the label is to prevent fraud or certify management procedures are followed.

Print Features on Security Labels

To meet your needs, there are many features we can incorporate into your security labels. Security features should be ‘layered’ so any counterfeiter will have to overcome several layers of security – some of which they will miss. Below is an outline of some common security features:

Micro Text

Mirco text print uses extremely small text to act as a security feature in your secure label. This is very difficult to achieve without access to very specialised printing plates. A counterfeiter would also need a very high-quality printing press to mimic such a feature. Micro text print on your security labels can be made more secure by the use of invisible inks utilising a range of UV wavelengths. More than one invisible ink can be used (and even overprinted on one another) to add extra security.

Guilloche Patterns

Guilloche printing is commonly seen in bank notes and financial documents. It is impossible to duplicate without the guilloche patterns over-exposing in the copied documents. This overexposure will often reveal itself as a phrase or warning identifying duplication. You can see for yourself if you photocopy a ten-pound note, a passport or a driving license document. These guilloche patterns need very high-quality printing plates and are extremely difficult to duplicate.
