GENERAL INFORMATION
Securikett stands out due to our innovative technology, commitment to quality, and customized solutions. We have a proven track record of protecting brands across various industries, making us a trusted partner in security labeling.
We don’t use off-the-shelf standard material for our VOID labels—instead, we manufacture the labels ourselves and use the adhesive that best suits your packaging. This ensures that the seals are perfectly matched to your packaging materials.
Tamper Evident SecurityLabels and Seals enhance product and packaging security by revealing a hidden “VOID” message upon removal. They serve as a clear indicator of tampering, helping to protect brands and consumers from fraud. These labels are widely used in industries such as luxury, wines & spirits, electronics, agriculture and logistics. They can be customized with unique QR codes, barcodes, or security printing features for added security.
We offer a wide range of SecurityLabels, e.g. tamper-evident VOID labels, smart labels with (unique) QR codes, labels with hologram, destructible labels, or traceless labels with VOID effect.
Security labels are more crucial than ever as counterfeiting and product tampering are on the rise. They help protect your brand, ensure product authenticity, and enhance consumer trust.
Our security labels offer advanced features like tamper evidence, serialization, and authentication technologies that go beyond a simple seal. These features provide a higher level of security and traceability.
Implementing our security labels helps safeguard your brand from counterfeiting, reduces the risk of revenue loss, and enhances your reputation. It also provides valuable data insights through tracking and verification.
Consumers gain peace of mind knowing they are purchasing genuine products. Our labels also offer easy verification methods, which build trust and loyalty with your brand.
ANTI COUNTERFEITING & ANTI TAMPERING
To protect products from counterfeiting, companies can implement several strategies like tamper-evident packaging and holographic labels with visible residue or pattern when removed, that are difficult to replicate, digital authentication technologies like QR-codes for product verification and serialization by assigning identifiers to each product unit to track and verify authenticity throughout the supply chain.
The discovery of counterfeit products on the internet is a serious incident. It damages your brand, unsettles customers, and can involve legal risks. Companies should act immediately, systematically, and decisively.
- Secure evidence
Document the counterfeit with screenshots, URLs, order details, product photos and—if possible—by purchasing a sample product. This evidence is essential for later legal action. - Contact the platform
Report the incident to the relevant sales platform (e.g. Amazon, eBay, Alibaba) using the appropriate brand protection or IP infringement form. Many platforms respond within a few days if the brand is registered.
Good experiences have also been made with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), which helps companies get in touch with local producers and apply targeted pressure. - Seek legal advice
Consult with your legal department or specialized IP lawyers on whether cease-and-desist letters, preliminary injunctions, or criminal complaints are appropriate—particularly in cases involving professional counterfeiters or repeated abuse. The chances of success vary depending on the jurisdiction of the distributor. - Inform customers
Use your channels (website, newsletter, social media) to warn customers about counterfeits and explain the characteristics of genuine products. This strengthens trust in your brand and raises awareness among potential buyers. - Establish internal reporting systems
Set up an internal process for handling counterfeit alerts—e.g. a central email address or ticket system for tips from sales, customer service, or field staff. - Prevent long-term issues
In addition to immediate measures, companies should also invest in prevention. This includes tamper-evident security (seal) labels, digital product protection solutions, and collaboration with online brand protection providers that systematically monitor marketplaces for counterfeits. This makes it harder for counterfeiters to access the market—and easier for customers to identify genuine products.
Select features that are suitable for your product type and packaging material, such as Security Seals or holographic labels with VOID effect. Ensure that tamper-evident features are clearly marked and instructions for consumers to check for tampering are provided. Incorporate tamper-evident measures into the overall supply chain security strategy, including tracking and monitoring systems. Educate consumers on the importance of tamper-evident features and how to identify them to ensure product safety.
The key difference lies in their interaction: physical measures are visible, offering immediate, straightforward verification, while digital measures are dynamic, providing detailed, up-to-date information that can be accessed online. Combining both approaches can create a robust defense against counterfeiting, ensuring products are secure and authentic from production to consumer use. Securikett offers both features in one package.
Identify the level of security needed, from basic measures like branded tamper-evident seals with residue effect to advanced technologies like holographic labels and digital tracking systems. It’s important to consider the ease of implementation and scalability of the solution, ensuring it can grow with your business and adapt to evolving threats. Securikett solutions are scalable.
Tamper-evident seals, labels and tapes with visible residue after opening are critical in preventing product tampering by providing clear, visible indications of any unauthorized access to a product. They show obvious signs of tampering, such as broken seals, void messages, or damaged packaging.
By making it immediately apparent when a product has been compromised, tamper-evident security labels, seals and tapes deter tampering attempts and help maintain the integrity of the product.
Additionally, they build consumer confidence, as customers can easily verify that the product they purchase has not been altered or interfered with, thus ensuring the safety and authenticity of the product.
PRODUCTION & CUSTOMIZATION
The implementation timeline varies depending on your specific processes and requirements. Since every label is customized to meet your unique needs, we work closely with you to ensure a seamless integration. Typically, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the complexity and scale of your project.
Revenue loss due to counterfeit is a real problem for any brand of any size.
Conservative estimates put counterfeit loss at around 10-15% of a company’s top line revenue number so regardless of size the effects of counterfeits.
Our solutions are scalable and cost-effective, starting from smaller quantities to large-scale production. Even for smaller batches, the return on investment through brand protection is significant, however the bigger the batch sizes the more attractive pricing is due to decreasing costs per unit.

SECURITY FEATURES & PROTECTION LEVELS
We provide a wide range of Security Printing technologies, e.g. Holograms and OVDs, Guilloches, Microtexts, Effect Colors, Invisible Inks, Taggants, Watermarks, Cuts and Perforations, Scratch-Offs, or Unique QR-codes for product authentication. A combination of multiple security features is key to achieve a high level of security.
Yes! The more security features are integrated into a label, the higher the level of security.
We offer tailored solutions for different types of tampering. Our VOID effect is triggered when a label is peeled, clearly indicating any attempt to open the packaging. When tampering with heat or cold is a concern, we can integrate temperature-sensitive inks. Our WashVOID technology, on the other hand, makes any tampering attempt involving liquids clearly visible.

Yes, we do! Our PaperVOID labels and tapes are designed to be recycled together with paper and cardboard packaging, enhancing recyclability and supporting the circular economy. Additionally, we offer pull breaks to ensure the label remains on the packaging and is recycled along with it. For plastic packaging, we provide suitable labels and can also produce labels made from recycled PP material.
Paper security labels are in no way inferior to their polypropylene counterparts. They can be equipped with all the same security features, such as tamper evidencent VOID-effects, serialization, holograms, or special inks for indication of temperature or fluid tampering. Thus, they offer equivalent protection and functionality.
One key advantage is their compatibility with paper or cardboard packaging: when applied to paper-based materials, paper labels significantly improve the recyclability of the overall package, supporting more sustainable packaging solutions.
The only current limitation is that fully transparent paper labels are not yet available. However, highly translucent paper variants do exist, offering a tranluscent appearance.
Yes, for reusable packaging we offer solutions such as our residue-free VOID labels. These labels provide clear evidence of first-opening but can be removed without leaving any traces on the product or packaging.
An important aspect of such solutions is consumer involvement. The end user needs to be aware that there shoule be a label on the product in order to verify its integrity.
Sustainability is a direct responsibility of our executive board. Our production is entirely carbon-free, and we operate in accordance with ESG criteria. We are proud to have been awarded an EcoVadis Silver Medal and have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce our carbon emissions by 42% by 2030, based on our 2022 baseline. We are among the first Austrian companies to record Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
