In specialist circles, this is referred to as OVDs and the range extends from the less secure, coarser resolution “digital image” to electron beam lasered structures, often in silver or transparent. Copy security depends largely on the accessibility of the technology.  

Securikett specializes in integrating hologram embossing into security labels. The complex connection – print to hologram – makes it considerably more difficult for counterfeiters to imitate. Even a verification filter can be designed as part of such labels. 

Guilloches are fine lines, such as those found on banknotes, which are intertwined. 

Microtexts are so-called semi-covered authentication elements. In view of modern reproduction technology, copy security is often questionable and depends on details such as the printing ink itself or the reproduction technique.

Effect colors are overt features. As known from banknotes, these are iridescent and glittering colors, allowing an end user whether a product is a fake or not by flipping. Depending on the viewing angle, a color change appears, for example from pink to blue.

By using special inks, a wide variety of tampering methods can be clearly detected. We customize tamper-evident effects to your needs.

We also use special colors that make manipulation with liquid, heat or cold visible. Many counterfeiters know that by processing the label with water, hot air or cold spray, the label can be removed more easily. By using special inks, a wide variety of tampering methods can be clearly detected.

Invisible colors are not visible to the human eye without special light sources. 

Authentication features that can only be determined using special, non-public means are often referred to in specialist circles as forensic features. This is because they stand up in court as evidence, a requirement that some others also fulfill. 

The advantage of the so-called completely invisible features is that counterfeiters have no indication that there is anything here and what they should imitate at all. This is where the claim that these are the most secure features comes from. The prerequisite here is that stringent safety management is adhered to when imprinting or incorporating these features – in some cases directly into the active ingredients and medicines themselves.

Watermarks are image marks applied to paper in different paper thicknesses that can be recognized by light transmission. Applications in the field of authentication include bank notes, vouchers, tickets and admission tickets. 

Predetermined cuts in fragile materials complicate the work of fraudsters. Depending on the customer’s requirements we design destructible seals and labels.

With scratch-off ink it is possible to cover codes or pin numbers reliably and opaquely. The consumer can easily scratch off the coating and reveal the information behind it. It is a feature encouraging the end user to check the authenticity of a product.
