Overt Counterfeit Protection

Color-shifting inks, holograms and volume holograms represent a small selection from our portfolio of overt security features.

Advantages of Overt Anti-Counterfeiting Features

  • Quick verification without tools
  • Can be tested by anyone
  • High quality visual impression
  • Unmistakable individual design
  • Very high level of counterfeit protection possible
  • Can be used on labels for all kinds of products

Professional anti-counterfeiting strategies combine different technologies (overt, semi-covert, covert) for best possible security and verification by different audiences.

Holograms

Holograms are easily identifiable and allow even non-experts to quickly recognize an original. Holograms can be used on labels in individual designs and different security levels.

Volume Holograms

Volume holograms are based on the special properties of light-sensitive layers whose planes are used as a three-dimensional medium. The complex, computer-aided generation of these 3D structures makes reproduction virtually impossible.

Volume holograms enable decorative logos, illustrations and other design elements.

Color-Shifting Inks

Color-shifting inks show a different color impression depending on the viewing angles and the range of possible color tones is wide. Color-shifting inks can be well combined with other anti-counterfeiting features.

Checking color-shifting inks can be done quickly and easily without any additional tools.

Guilloches

As a versatile design element, Guilloches offer solid protection against counterfeiting, thanks to the large number of parameters used to calculate line progressions and the combination of security inks and printing processes. Guilloches are created with special design software that is not freely available on the market.

Guilloches can be applied to a wide variety of labels and functional parts.
