Tamper protection for your products
safety labels
Security labels provide products and packaging with special features that enable quick and reliable verification of authenticity and integrity. They make unauthorised opening of the original packaging and counterfeiting immediately apparent to consumers.
They offer additional protection through special printing elements, integrated security features or special colour effects. These features increase security and protect against counterfeiting and unauthorised tampering.
- Effective, difficult-to-counterfeit features
- Hologram, coding and hybrid solutions
- Recognisable material destruction upon first opening
- Combination of several security features in one label possible
- Large selection of raw materials always in stock
- Professional order processing and certified quality management (ISO 9001)
Types of security labels
Clear labeling and traceability
Advantages of security labels
Protection against product counterfeiting
Security labels offer effective protection against product piracy by incorporating features that are difficult to counterfeit, such as holograms, barcodes or QR codes, which enable quick and reliable authenticity checks.
Easy traceability
Technologies such as RFID and serialisation enable products to be tracked throughout the entire supply chain. This allows for seamless documentation and protects against theft or tampering.
Tamper protection
Tamper-proof labels leave visible damage or traces when removed, making unauthorised opening or tampering immediately apparent.
Building trust with customers
The use of security labels increases customer confidence in the authenticity and quality of a product. A visible security feature on the packaging signals that the manufacturer attaches great importance to protection and transparency.
Compliance with legal requirements
In many industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry, security labels are now required by law. They help companies meet regulatory requirements, such as tracking prescription drugs or ensuring product integrity.
What security features can be integrated into a label?
Security labels can contain various features, including:
- Holograms
- Microtext and nano printing
- RFID/NFC technology
- Data matrix codes and QR codes
- UV or IR inks
- These features offer varying degrees of protection against counterfeiting and tampering.
How do security labels help prevent product counterfeiting?
Security labels contain features that are difficult to replicate, enabling counterfeits to be identified. They allow end users, retailers and authorities to quickly verify the authenticity of a product, thereby reducing the likelihood of product piracy and counterfeiting.
How does label tamper protection work?
Tamper-evident labels are designed to leave visible traces when removed or tampered with. For example, VOID labels leave a clear ‘VOID’ stamp on the packaging when removed, indicating that the product has been opened or tampered with.
Which industries use security labels most frequently?
Security labels are often used in industries where counterfeiting is a major problem, such as:
- Pharmaceutical industry: To prevent counterfeit medicines and ensure compliance with legal regulations.
- Luxury goods: To protect expensive products from theft and counterfeiting.
- Food and beverage industry: To protect against tampering and ensure compliance with safety standards.
- Electronics industry: To protect against product piracy and grey market trading.
How can security labels be linked to the supply chain?
With technologies such as RFID and serialisation, security labels can be used to track products throughout the entire supply chain. Each unit is assigned a unique serial number that is stored in a central database, enabling complete traceability from the manufacturer to the end consumer.
How can an end user verify the authenticity of a product with security labels?
End users can verify the authenticity of a product by scanning QR codes, data matrix codes or RFID NFC technology. These codes link to a database that confirms whether the product is authentic. In many cases, special security features such as holograms or invisible print elements can also be used for verification.
Are security labels expensive?
The cost of security labels varies depending on the security features used and the quantity required. Although they may be more expensive than conventional labels initially, they offer significant added value by protecting against counterfeiting, preventing losses and increasing customer confidence.
Can security labels be customised?
Yes, security labels can be customised to meet the specific needs of a company or product. This includes selecting security features, integrating branding and design, and combining different technologies such as RFID or serialisation.
