Static and Variable Hidden Images to Protect Documents or Packaging

‘Hidden Image’ is a new versatile covert security technology to protect products or documents. Hidden images are invisible to the observer. They can be authenticated by using an optical lens, copy machine, scanner or remote server.

Applications

Hidden images highly effective and can efficiently applied on printed products using various printing technologies (offset, flexo, rotogravure, etc) in CMYK and pantone such as:

• Documents of value and identity
• Packaging material: Carton, paper, plastic, flexible lamination film, etc
• Metal boxes

Special technologies also permit the usage of hidden images on:

• Injection molded plastic parts
• Aluminum foils
• Stamped metal plates (closures of food cans)
• Holographic products (hotstamping foil, lamination film)

Benefits:

• Hidden images are a security feature which can be integrated into almost all existing artwork, without changing its appearance
• No special ink, no special substrates required!
• Uniform appearance across many products and many production sites possible
• Holographic products (hotstamping foil, lamination film)
• Sophisticated anti-copy, anti-forging technology – hard to copy or imitate
• Up to six hidden images can be placed at one location. Verification by rotating optical lens
