About Microtrace

Microtrace is the leader in traceable, anti-counterfeit taggant technologies, security labels and laser systems designed for covert, invisible micro-marking that help identify, track, and protect products and prevent counterfeiting and fraud. Microtrace delivers these custom solutions in a variety of formats that easily integrate into any existing production process.

Incorporated in 1985, Microtrace acquired its core taggant technology from 3M. Since then, Microtrace has continued to develop the technology and now offers several different taggant technologies and solutions. Microtrace taggants, security labels and lasers are used in virtually all industries worldwide—government agencies, consumer product companies and Fortune 500 corporations.

From taggant technologies incorporated into plastic resins, films, fabrics and press-ready security inks to security labels and invisible laser markings on glass, gemstones, pharmaceuticals—or any surface you need to mark. Whatever your brand protection, covert identification and authentication requirements are—we can deliver a security solution in a way that works for you.


The Microtrace Difference

Our capabilities are as diverse as our clients—we offer solutions that are as straightforward and cost-effective as a security label or as complex and advanced as transparent materials on a rapidly moving manufacturing line. And unlike other taggant technologies on the market, ours are so unique and customized that they’re impossible or nearly impossible to duplicate.

What really sets us apart is our ability to customize our technologies or equipment to meet the individual needs of our clients. We do this by getting to know you and your processes, and then identify the best brand protection solution for you and deliver it in a way that seamlessly integrates into your production process. We haven’t found a problem we couldn’t solve—whether it’s product diversion, anti-counterfeit protection, false product liability or warranty claims, marking pharmaceuticals or gasoline/liquid authentication.

If you’re not sure what solution you need to protect your brand, just ask us. We’ll work with you to find the right fit. We also can help you secure the highest quality materials from our network of trusted expert suppliers or work with your current vendors to incorporate our technology directly in to the materials you already purchase.
