Did you know product labels and Government documents without security printing features can easily be copied by fraudsters, resulting in financial losses?

 

It has been observed that a lack of security printing in critical documents could lead to the leak of highly sensitive information. Likewise, the absence of security printing options can undermine consumer trust and adversely affect brand image.

 

Considering the scenario, is there a proven way to boost document or label security?

 

What is the best possible way to incorporate security features?

 

Our anti-counterfeiting experts have come up with a range of security printing technologies to deter forgers/counterfeiters.

 

Let’s decipher them:

Security inks – an added layer of protection in documents, labels, and packaging

Innovative security inks have a high resistance to counterfeiting deter forgery and replicate to ensure the protection of your documents and products.

Some types of security inks offered by Holostik include:

  • UV security inks: Text printed with these inks is invisible/covert under normal light, but is visible under UV light. UV security printing is common in currency notes, educational certificates, passports etc.
  • Thermochromic inks: These are heat-sensitive inks that change colour with a change in temperature. The text printed with these inks is covert to the human eye in normal conditions. Such text can act as an authentication feature for supply chain stakeholders.
  • Metal reactive inks: The ink changes colours when rubbed with a metallic object. It is again a great covert element.

    “Holostik security printing solutions help secure documents and products in banking, education, government, and other sectors.”

Sophisticated design patterns generated with mathematical algorithms

The graphic patterns cannot be replicated, resulting in a high level of security for your possessions.

Some security patterns and anti-copy features offered by us:

  • Guilloche patterns: The multi-level security feature can be customized for institutions and banks to prevent financial loss. We can print these graphic patterns through specialized algorithms generated through design software.
  • ‘Copy void’ text: It is a covert feature and appears if a document is copied by the photocopying machine.
  • Micro text: Fonts smaller than 0.3 mm fall under micro text and are placed in documents for added security.

Complex verifiable numbers, data printing & QR codes

Such computer-generated numbers increase the security and protection of sensitive documents and assets. The serialization is generated through software algorithms. The numbers printed on the documents, labels or packaging assign a unique identity to each document/label/package.  

Use of Holography to keep even the smartest criminals at bay

Holography cannot be copied with even advanced photocopying machines. The use of holographic patterns either in the form of hologram stickers or stamping foils can add to the security and visual appeal of the documents and packaging.

Security holograms as a unique security packaging concept have become overly popular in the last couple of years. And the best thing is that they exactly deliver what they promise. But before discussing how they help the FMCG industry against fraudulent activities & supply chain disruptions, let’s understand what these anti-duplication devices are all about.

 

Most companies don’t have much idea about security OVDs or holograms, and this, in turn, becomes detrimental to their business. In fact, they are not exposed to a hologram’s capability to deter counterfeiters/forgers and help their business grow.

 

Globally, FMCG items are at a high risk of counterfeiting. Hence, the related companies must start incorporating security holograms in their packaging.

What Does Counterfeit Of FMCG Products mean?

The term FMCG refers to Fast Moving Consumer Goods, ranging from soap to oil.  The wide demand and scope of these products have made them highly prone to counterfeiting, tampering, adulteration, and diversion.

 

Counterfeiters use the latest technology to copy genuine products and infiltrate supply chains with cheap imitations. The problem of counterfeit FMCG products is not new. With every passing day, more fake items are coming into the market, making it tough to distinguish between genuine and fake items.

 

However, with anti-counterfeit technology by your side, you don’t have to worry about such fake imitations. You can deploy custom security holograms or stickers to ensure the genuineness of your products across the supply chain. With these brand protection devices, forgers have a hard time copying your products and their packaging.

 

Security holograms tend to work as a shield against counterfeiting and ensure that your product is not counterfeited under any circumstances.

How Does a Security Hologram or Hologram Sticker Serve As Protection Device Against Counterfeiting in FMCG Industry?

You might be wondering – how do hologram stickers work? What makes them work as a shield against counterfeiting? The rigorous production process of a security hologram is such that it cannot be replicated at all. Right from master origination, to embossing and printing – the embellishment of advanced optical features makes them foolproof against duplication.

 

The primary aim of security holograms or hologram stickers from Holostik is to deter counterfeiters.

If you are a pharma manufacturer struggling with fake products, poor sales, and supply chain visibility then you can relate to this blog. We’ve written this blog based on the numerous feedback we have received from our anti-counterfeit experts. It will help you gain an insight into your general challenges & assess feasible solutions to drive your business growth.

 

Let’s suppose Mr. Harish Sharma is an owner of a pharma company that is drastically losing product sales due to counterfeiting. A reputed entrepreneur, Mr. Sharma had invested a huge corpus in his pharma business. Eventually, the launch happened, and the company’s cough syrup was rolled out. In the next few quarters, the sales soared up across India.

 

However, after two years, fake replicas of the syrup bottle flooded the market. The sales and brand reputation took a hit badly. Are you facing a similar situation? Stressed and confused Mr. Sharma sought the help of the police. But it was only a temporary relief. Counterfeit drugs were traced back to multiple locations. It was not practical to raid every single shipment. Moreover, the cost of litigation was adding up. This is the story of many pharma manufacturers who struggle with counterfeiting and tampering. But, with a reliable brand protection partner, they can select the right packaging, prevent counterfeiting and grow their business.

 

If you also looking for the right brand protection then we can surely help you, but before that let’s see how Mr. Sharma found a solution to his problem.

 

 In India, Pharma is among the top 5 sectors most affected by fake products (Source: ASPA)

 

Fortunately, one day while surfing the web, Mr. Sharma stumbled across our smart anti-counterfeit packaging. Without further ado, he got in touch with our experts. Our experts thoroughly assessed the product packaging and the company’s supply chain for gaps. Can you guess what were those gaps? Our anti-counterfeit experts identified three key gaps/problems in the packaging and supply chain.

 

Problem 1-The manufacturer was using generic labels for branding purposes. 

Problem 2-There was no means for product authentication in the supply chain.

Problem 3-There was no mechanism to ensure real-time inventory visibility.

 

After identifying the problems, it was time for our experts to get into action! Our experts suggested customized solutions to overcome these challenges. Let’s dig in to know how we helped Mr. Sharma.

We replaced the generic label with a holographic security label for uncompromised security

We provided custom labels with a holographic security strip. Holographic strip with all the intricate patterns, channel effects, raster images etc., cannot be copied by counterfeiters. Criminals can’t afford sophisticated hologram origination technology. Holography cannot be photocopied or replicated by even advanced photocopy machines. Holography is purely optical technology and does not entail any form of reprography. Also, with nano-optical holography, we have taken anti-counterfeit technology to the next level. How? As the name suggests nano optic holograms have security features that are at the nanoscale- unbelievably small. Isn’t it? Imagine your pharma labels with nano-optical holographic strips. Will anyone attempt to copy it. The answer is no!

We fused two levels of authentication in the bottle label- that’s the power of ‘phygital’ (physical + digital)

At Holostik we believe that counterfeiters cannot breach multiple levels of security. That’s why we combined physical and digital technology in the labels. While the holographic security strip served as a physical security device to determine the product’s genuineness, the variable barcode ensured real-time product authentication.

We provided custom inventory software for increasing complete supply chain visibility

We deeply understand the supply chain challenges of our customers. It’s not just limited to duplication and extends beyond to poor product traceability, weak inventory management, low customer retention. Our team of software engineers understood the supply chain architecture and gaps before developing a custom digital solution for the pharma company. Our barcode-enabled digital inventory solution helped the Pharma company track every single item in the supply chain. It resulted in the prevention of raw material wastage and product diversions. All this summed up to a healthy supply chain and flourishing business.

 

 

The use of smart & secure labels from Holostik can help Pharma manufacturers to grow their business, boost supply chain visibility and increase new customers

In India, the liquor industry has been the major revenue contributor in most states. The industry is one of the prime sources of excise collection for most of the states in the country. Reportedly, taxes on liquor and beer bring in nearly INR 90,000 crores to state governments annually. 

 

Now we see that the excise collection is a matter of hundreds of billions & arming the revenue stamps with the latest security features is a must. Even plans for new holographic tax stamps in Asia have showcased how holograms have been instrumental in securing alcohol excise revenues globally.

 

“Tax stamps with holography and digital authetication are effective in preventing tampering, adulteration and poor inventory managemnet finally leading to optimized excise collection”

 

In 2020, Goa and Rajasthan announced a new excise policy for 2020-21, featuring holographic tax stamps to prevent counterfeits and protect liquor revenues. Even the IHMA (International Hologram Manufacturer Association) highlighted these moves made by the state governments. Enabling revenue stamps with nano-optical holograms make the excise collection process simplistic, and now the state governments have begun to realize the potential of holographic tax stamps.

 

Let’s figure out the importance of holography in digital tax stamps.

 

Understanding the Concept of Holography in Revenue Stamps:

 

One of the significant aims of nano-optic holograms is to ensure completely secured stamps that cannot be fabricated under any circumstances. The holograms in tax stamps ensure that the level of security is par excellence, and none can indulge in tampering with it. Often there are fraudulent activities that can duplicate the stamps, which often leads to tax evasion. However, this factor can be taken special care of with the nano-optical holograms!

 

Revenue stamps without holograms are prone to mishaps. It is one of the primary reasons state excise authorities and government organizations must consider employing a solution like holograms along with QR codes. Over the years, this system has been developed more so that there is absolutely no scope for tampering. Moreover, the holograms in tax stamps make inventory management easier with the digital tracking feature.

 

Why Is It Important to Depend on Reliable Names for Hologram Enabled Revenue Stamps?

 

Now that we have already understood what revenue stamps are and the need for equipping these with holographic solutions, it is also imperative to analyze why you need to depend on professionals and reputable names in the industry. The first reason for this is that the quality of tax stamps cannot be compromised. If enforcement agencies choose to do so, the innate requirement of high security will not be fulfilled. Hence, it is essential to depend on professional revenue stamp manufacturers who know precisely how to go about the process.

 

The following important factor to keep in mind is applicability. Holostik has been in this domain for years and can develop promising counterfeiting-proof digital tax stamps to simplify and rationalize the excise collection. The primary goal of the revenue stamps is to ensure hassle-free excise collection and avoid tampering. A reliable solution provider will always pay special attention to this factor.

 

Trust Holostik for High-security Revenue Stamps

 

“Holostik has set a high precedent by supplying state-of-the-art tax stamps to multiple state excise authorities in India. We have received praises from presigious government organizations across India”

 

If you are searching for an excellent option for holographic revenue stamps, then it cannot get better than Holostik. The stamps we manufacture with nano-optical holographic images have a resolution of more than 6 lacs dpi. Moreover, our aesthetic and ultra-modern designs boost the brand value of the products.

Are you stuck with finding the right hot stamping foil supplier for your products? No wonder, stamping foils with all the packaging technicalities can bring a lot of confusion. But don’t worry, as we bring forth the much-needed do’s and don’ts shared by our hot stamping foil experts to simplify your decision-making. Before, sharing the points let’s discuss a bit about hot stamping foils and their uses, especially for packaging professionals dealing with such foils for the first time.

 

Hot stamping is the process of using heat & pressure to apply metallic or holographic foil on materials like paper boards, papers, laminated boards, & corrugated boxes. The stamping process is durable, cost-effective, and flexible. Due to its many features, hot foil stamping is being used in different industries.

 

Lately, the process is being used on a wide range of products to give a decorative look and provide anti-counterfeiting features. Some of the industries where hot foil stamping is used include luxury goods packaging, tobacco, pharma, food, and apparel. Foil stamping is also used in gift wrapping, wedding invitations, and  many other applications.

 

In the hot foil stamping process a heated die forces the foil against a substrate which is held firm by a counter cylinder. The double combination of pressure and heat activates the adhesive lining, and the foil attaches to the substrate

Until now you might have understood the basics of a hot stamping foil, now let’s discuss the do’s and don’ts.

Do’s

-Look for stamping foils with holography. This ensures that your product and packaging remain safe from duplication. Counterfeiters find it really tough to copy holography as it requires sophisticated origination machines and a rigorous process.

 

-Do check for the visual appeal. Yes, stamping foils must have aesthetic and appealing elements to make your products look attractive. Look for good designs, patterns, and optical effects.

 

-Stamping foils with two side-scan marks are always better than those with just one. Scan marks help with the uniform and accurate application of the foil on the application.

 

-Check the background of your stamping foil supplier. Now, this is the most important aspect. Overlooking your supplier’s background and reputation can land you in trouble.

 

-Is the price cost-effective? Pricing plays an important role. Plan with procurement & packaging managers on the budget assigned for packaging. Don’t go for too pricey and or too cheap foils.

Don’ts

-Never finalize your supplier without the sampling process. Overlooking this step can result in a waste of your time, efforts, and investment.

 

-Don’t compromise with foil quality. You or your procurement manager must always check the durability factor in the foils.

 

-Don’t buy foils that can’t be customized as per the stamping machine available with you or your packaging partner.

 

-Never finalize the deal with a foil supplier that can’t fulfill your customized requirements.

 

-Don’t go for suppliers that have a bad market reputation when it comes to meeting delivery deadlines.

 

So, these are the major points that you must adhere to while finalizing your holographic hot stamping foil supplier.

The pharmaceutical industry has, by necessity, always been at the edge of label innovation. Labels for pharmaceutical products protect customers and manufacturers from harm and ensure adherence to regulatory compliances.

 

Labels play a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharma companies, therefore, have all the reasons to adopt the latest advancement in label technology. So, let’s understand what smart labels are and why they are beneficial for Pharma manufacturers and other supply chain stakeholders.

 

“Smart labels allow digitization of supply chains resulting in optmized management of inventory and improved productivity of Pharma companies.”

 

What Are Smart Labels?

Product labels that allow smart digital functions like product authentication, track and trace, loyalty management, and other such functions are known as smart labels. Such labels have printed barcodes that can be scanned with mobile cameras, hand-held terminals, and scanners.

 

Smart labels allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to track their medicines from factories to hospitals to patients and every stakeholder in between. When employed appropriately, these labels can drive several benefits for the pharma industry.

The Role of Smart Labels in The Pharmaceutical Industry

Enhanced Inventory Management  

Pharma companies can use smart labels to identify where storage is in excess, where they need to increase their supply, and more accurate numbers to assess sales and demand. By using smart labels in inventory management, a proper balance can be maintained between shortages and surpluses. The inventory process can be enhanced by recognizing and addressing inconsistencies, such as incorrectly placed products.

 

Prevention Of Counterfeiting 

Smart labels ensure that medications are genuine. Approximately 10 to 35% of prescribed medicines in the developing world are counterfeit, which is a big issue, and smart labels can help overcome it. Logistics providers, wholesalers, pharmacies, clinics, freight forwarders, and even patients can track medicines with smart labels.

 

Improved Supply Chain Management 

A smart label can improve brand protection because pharmacists and supply chain managers can pinpoint a missing shipment. They can determine if it has been stolen or tampered with.

 

Manual inventories can take a long time. Most businesses spend weeks managing their inventory and supply chain. However, with smart labels, the overall time spent on inventory management can be reduced by a considerable amount.
