Strong protection combines several features that are checked in different ways: some by anyone at a glance, some with a simple tool, and some only by trained staff. We help you choose the right combination for your product.
| Feature | What it does | How it is checked |
|---|---|---|
| Guilloche patterns | Fine, interlaced line patterns that blur or break up when copied | By eye or with a magnifier |
| Microtext | Text printed so small it looks like a line; copies lose the letters | With a magnifier |
| UV fluorescent inks | Invisible or subtle in daylight, glow under ultraviolet light | With a UV lamp |
| IR transparent inks | Look the same as normal inks but react differently under infrared light | With an infrared viewer |
| Thermochromic inks | Change color with temperature, for example when touched or chilled | By touch or temperature |
| Holographic foils | Images that shift with the viewing angle and are hard to reproduce | By eye, tilting the item |
| Tamper-evident VOID materials | Leave a visible “VOID” pattern if the label is removed | By eye, after removal |
| Serial numbering and codes | Unique numbers, QR or 2D codes for each item, for tracking and verification | By reading or scanning |
| Security paper | Paper with built-in protective properties | By eye, touch or tools |
| Embossing and micro-engraved foil | Raised or finely engraved marks that are hard to copy | By touch and eye |
| Security die cuts | Special cut patterns that tear if a label is removed | By eye, after removal |
| RFID and NFC | Electronic tags that can be read with a device | With a reader or phone |
