Security Printing Solutions for Reliable Product Authentication
Taggant transfers deliver high-security Spectral Taggant™ signatures in a finished format that integrates directly into your print or labeling process. When labels are not viable or printer-applied inks pose security or process challenges, this method ensures consistent authentication without introducing risk or complexity.

High-Security Signatures. Simple Application.
Microtrace taggant transfers are fully optimized carriers of Spectral Taggant signatures. Applied through a process similar to cold foil transfer, they mimic direct printing while eliminating the need for printers to handle taggant security inks.
- Applies to areas as small as ¼ inch
- Delivered in finished form with tight tolerances
- Compatible with most commercial printing workflows
- Enables authentication regardless of printer capability
- Available also as a thermal transfer
Control Security. Simplify Printing.
Taggant transfers eliminate the risks and complexity of using security inks in uncontrolled environments. By manufacturing the taggant signature in-house and delivering it in a finished format, Microtrace ensures consistency, security, and ease of use.
- Removes need to ship or manage security inks
- Standardizes authentication across printers, regions, and equipment
- Ensures consistent taggant performance and print quality
- Reduces printer burden with no specialized training or pre-press room ink testing
- Maintains full control over taggant integrity and application
- Compatible with Microtrace handheld detectors for fast, reliable validation
Versatile and Scalable Authentication
Taggant transfers offer a secure, scalable alternative to labels or taggant inks. With options for color, shape, and custom branding, they integrate easily into packaging, labels, or product formats without disrupting aesthetics or production.
- Available in black, metallic, holographic, or custom colors
- Supports branded graphics or secure design elements
- Integrates with packaging, labels, or direct-to-product surfaces
Make Secure Simple
Microtrace taggant transfers streamline secure printing across supply chains. Whether you're managing multiple vendors or protecting a single high-value product line, they deliver consistent, covert authentication with minimal operational change.
