Overt countermeasures:

• Holographic images to help identify your products.
• Tamper-evident labels and seals for your products.
• Patterned adhesive labels.

Covert countermeasures:

• Invisible inks that can be read using black light for manual identification.
• Invisible inks that can be read by UV light in conjunction with scanning equipment for automated packaging lines.
• Incorporating Microtrace’s Microtaggant technology into the label design to give your product a code that cannot be duplicated, identifying your particular product and company.
  • Microtaggants are applied to your product in the ink or an overcoat.
  • Microtaggants range in size from 20 - 80 microns.
  • Microtaggants are colored layers where each color represents a number; together the layers form a unique code for your product.
• Product identification or authentication can be made using three quick and different methods:
  • A handheld device which provides an audible beep when the code is present.
  • UV or black light to see a layer that fluoresces.
  • A handheld magnification tool to read the code.
