Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Goods are targets for product tampering or counterfeiting, carrying potential
for serious health and safety risks.
With the rapid rise of global counterfeit accounting for more than 3% of world trade in the 21st century, both lifesaving and lifestyle counterfeit products comprise an increasing percentage of the US drug market. To better protect our customers’ food, pharmaceutical and healthcare products with secondary packaging, we are committed to an ongoing investment in the technology and expertise required to design and manufacture customized solutions.
Security Inks
Specialty Inks/Coatings
RFID/Source Tagging
Micro Print
We offer a complete array of overt and covert security features designed to guard against fraud risks.
Security Inks
Protect your products with these COVERT inks
Photochromic
Light reactive fluorescent ink responds with prompt, reversible color shift when exposed to UV light. Your brand’s packaging authenticity is revealed when graphic elements change color due to light sensitivity.
Thermochromic
Heat sensitive ink exhibits a distinct color change when touched or rubbed with a finger. Temperature sensitive elements are covert, simple and inexpensive to incorporate into a packaging design, and lend authenticity for consumers.
Invisible Fluorescent
These colorless inks fluoresce a visible color under UV light. Often used with currency, pharmaceutical products can benefit from this added safety precaution.
Coin Reactive
Simulated watermark ink provides instant verification by coin or other metal objects. Challenge fraudsters with a hidden brand message revealed only after removing the coating.
Pen Reactive
Invisible ink becomes evident when touched with a special felt-tip pen. The ink’s invisibility, coupled with a special pen, creates a greater counterfeiting challenge.

Sensormatic Tagging
Sensormatic tags are applied to packaging for anti-theft and pilferage deterrence.
Serialization Prep
Datalase printing prepares package for serialization at the customer’s production line.
Micro Print
Provides a COVERT means of tracking authenticity. Visible only through a micro-scanner, this cost-effective application is extremely difficult to copy.
Microprint
Invisible to the naked eye, this method of using microscopic text to represent graphics, such as lines or borders, is a simple and inexpensive way to prevent fraud. Visible only through a micro-scanner, this method is extremely difficult to copy.
