Innovative Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions for High-End Printing Ink Manufacturers
High-end inks are used in the packaging and presentation of luxury products. For example, the metallic-like ink that is printed onto boxes of certain wines. High-end inks are used by the world’s biggest brands (e.g. in tobacco and wine brands). These inks are used in industries such as food packaging, pharma, personal care products and vehicle spare parts.

Key issues in printing ink manufacturing
Printing ink manufacturers need a reliable supplier of materials for anti-counterfeiting (e.g. security pigments, thermochromic inks, photochromic inks, etc.) that are needed by brands they are handling. Counterfeit products harm brand integrity, reduce consumer safety, even ratchet up product liability issues.
Ink-based security features are becoming more popular in consumer packaging solutions. These covert solutions are ideal for packaging applications where the field is heavily text or graphic laden.
Brand leaders also now emphasize more on the sustainability of packaging materials including printing inks. For example, choosing suitable materials are of top priority in food packaging ink for direct or indirect contact as the solvents, resins, additives, pigments and other chemicals may harm the safety of foods.
MatriX-Mark™ Solutions
Our MatriX-Mark™ taggants are inorganic and can withstand high stress of physical and chemical resistance tests. Multiple taggant types are available. The advanced anti-counterfeit security feature is virtually impossible to duplicate. To detect the MatriX-Mark security taggant a sophisticated inspection device is required which will give a simple yes/no output to confirm the presence or absence of the security features. A wide range of detector types and taggant inspection systems are available. The colorless MatriX-Mark taggants can be added to all types of colored or colorless inks or coatings, without changing its chemical or physical performance characteristics.
Thermochromic Ink
Our range of temperature-sensitive thermochromic inks can be used in a range of products including tickets, certificates, vouchers, tax stamps and so on.
Thermochromic inks change appearance/color when exposed to various selected temperatures. We provide an extensive range of thermochromic inks (reversible and irreversible).
Photochromic Ink
Photochromic inks are invisible under artificial light and will appear visible once exposed to outdoor sunlight or UV / blacklight. This effect is reversible. Once the ink is not exposed to sunlight or UV light, the ink will return to the transparent appearance within one or two minutes.
This feature offers strong colors that attract attention and is ideal for marketing engagement purposes.
