Authenti-Mark™

Coding Products' solution to a complex problem: Authenti-Mark™ security ribbons are thermal transfer ribbons integrated with security features for the purpose of brand protection, diversion control, and counterfeit prevention.

Some of the unique attributes of Authenti-Mark™ thermal transfer ribbons are:

• 100% resin formulations are extremely durable once applied and extremely difficult to remove.
• Variable print applied digitally using thermal transfer ribbons allow the brand owner to take control of a portion of their security solution by assigning where the security features will be placed on the product and for how long.
• Overt, covert, and combination features are possible.
• Coding Products has long been a 'Partnership Supplier' that can bring to market distinct customer driven solutions.
• We are ready to discuss 'Chain of Custody' issues to insure that your supply chain maintains its integrity.

Wavy Line Scratch-off

• Effectively hides personal ID numbers and authentication codes.
• The consumer easily reveals the hidden data after purchase, using a coin or fingernail to remove the scratch-off layer.

Holographic Foils

• A breakthrough technology in holographic technology.  Print data and holograms on the fly, changing images/data every label if desired.
• Standard and custom patterns available.

Color-Shifting Inks

• Printed data changes color when held at different angles.
• Use various color-shift combinations to easily identify brand diversion; e.g. regional distinctions.

UV Flourescing Inks

• Invisible Ribbons. Images/data printed with a UV-fluorescing clear ink are invisible until exposed to UV-light.
• Black Ribbons. UV-fluorescing black ink look just like a standard black thermal transfer ribbon print, until exposed to UV-light. 
• Color Ribbons. Images/data printed with a UV-fluorescing colored ink can be incorporated into logos, graphics, or text and look like a standard print, until exposed to UV-light.
• All of our ribbons can feature carious fluorescing colors that pop with neon-bright intensity when exposed to UV-light.  Fluorescing colors include red, blue, yellow and green.

Machine Readable Taggants

• Taggants are higher-level, covert security features that allow brands to be authenticated in the field by use of proprietary readers.
• Taggants (yours or ours) can be integrated into any of our black, clear or color thermal transfer ribbons.
