Security Labels and Seals

Standard security holograms are often relied on to protect a brand from tampering and product diverting, when there are other solutions that offer a higher level of security.

In some cases, standard mass-produced tamper-evident labels, tags and seals provide cost-effective security for low-level tamping attempts; however, these are not much of a challenge to the well funded or determined counterfeiter. True brand protection requires labels with higher degrees of security.

Since 1985, Microtrace has worked with leading security label manufacturers who utilize some of the most advanced processes and technologies. Because of these partnerships, we have access to the best options and technologies for custom labels to protect your product, materials and distribution channels.

We create custom security labels using holographic foils, papers and plastic films incorporating multiple taggant technologies, as well as clear UV barcodes and a variety of possibilities to deliver a solution that will meet your needs.

Microtrace security label options include:

  • Taggants
  • Embedded Film
  • Custom Holograms
  • Film labels
  • Paper Labels
  • Various tamper-evident construction
  • Invisible Bar codes and serial numbers
  • Laser marking that writes information directly on an internal layer of seals or labels

Embedded Film

Available in a variety of metallic colors, Embedded Film holds a hidden security feature that is easy to recognize without any special detectors or readers. Embedded Film is delivered on security labels as a solid, metallic color. When peeled off the label, the film strip changes from the solid metallic color to silver with a custom printed message such as logo, company name or other predetermined mark. This allows for allows for instant, on-site verification.

FIPS Certified Security Labels

Microtrace security labels and seals are used for the highest security applications in government agencies around the world. They offer a high level of security against tampering and removal. Variable information is laser etched below the surface as opposed to traditional surface printing. Because this information is recorded beneath the surface of the label, it cannot be removed or modified and is protected against environmental conditions.

Our laser marking process creates an easily recognizable label that is impossible to reproduce using traditional print methods. They can be laser marked with:

  • Sequential alphanumerics
  • Logos
  • Barcodes: 1D and 2D
  • Photographs
