New Technology for Packaging Anti-counterfeiting Design

The application of anti-counterfeiting technology in the past was limited to money, securities, special industries, etc. But now, counterfeiting is no longer limited to money, checks and bonds. Valuables such as medicines, tobacco, and alcohol are now often counterfeited. Anti-counterfeit has become a rapidly growing market. Engraving and gravure printing, laser holography, special inks, watermarking, and encrypted code technology have been widely used. Here is to introduce the anti-counterfeiting technology used in product packaging design. This technology is BARCO's CECVSEAL technology.

This technology is to increase the security features from the design of the packaging pattern, so that it can be easily identified without increasing the printing cost. At the same time,
The advanced SECVSEAL professional anti-counterfeiting designs produce packaging products that are either impossible or difficult to control.

Since hidden structures can be implanted in the design, warning messages will appear when this product is copied. SECVSEAL provides a set of tools to verify the authenticity of the product. This is the basic feature of SEVCSEAL.

Like other BARCOFASTLANE products, the SECVSEAL design and assembly system has board-off productivity. The anti-counterfeiting module is integrated in the standard interface, ensuring the highest efficiency. The powerful, flexible and interactive nature of the system makes designing better anti-counterfeit packaging creative.

The following series of basic characteristics of BARCO SECVSEAL packaging security design software.

1. Selection of color. You can choose a hard-to-replicate ink set to effectively prevent color copies. If one color is reproduced correctly, the other will be distorted.

2. Special security light studio design. The special light studio software of SECVSEAL can be used to express continuous tone images with arbitrary dot shapes (which can be irregular shapes) designed by the user, and its shape can also be automatically changed according to the brightness of the original image, any existing one Neither the RIP nor the offset output device can output any dot shape. This feature also has an easily identifiable feature. Any user does not need a dedicated device to distinguish the authenticity from the naked eye.

3. Convex line design - instant embossed background. In the traditional anti-counterfeiting process, the relief pattern is made by a relief machine tool. First, a relief model is made into a model, and the relief machine tool records while scanning the model. The principle is to convert the vertical movement of the probe to the horizontal movement of the recording needle. Quick background software simulates this method of creating relief patterns. Of course, due to the use of computer-aided design, its creative scope and complexity are far from being comparable to mechanical methods.

For example, between foreground and background, not only embossed height, but also changes in the width of the cable, so that the security forbidden.

4. Pattern background design. Nature creates many beautiful patterns such as snowflakes and crystals that have been used in security designs. Not only because of its beautiful appearance, but also because of its complex structure and variety. The crystal simulation of SECVSEAL provides a variety of ready-made symmetrical structures for the user to choose. The user only needs to use the mouse, and the complicated crystal structure background can be generated instantly.

5. Network background design. The principle is to use a certain figure to form the text as a basic structure, so that it is repeatedly arranged along the given direction or the path drawn by the user, and at the same time, a geometrical deformation occurs. It is almost impossible for the imitator to find out the rule.
