Stickers and labels can be
used for security purposes.
But how can a sticker aid in having security or protection for a certain
business product?
You strive hard to
produce a high quality product
and since these products are gaining
popularity, many are being imitated, that, at
some point, imitators claim to produce the original.
These counterfeit products can very well hurt the sales of the
original product. Therefore, the products must be protected.
As a protection, one can use security
stickers.
- Tamper Evident Stickers – These
security stickers are used to prevent tampering and theft. These are
placed on small products or packages which integrity must be maintained,
such as pharmaceuticals, inventoried products, electronic equipment,
baby food and other retail products of a similar nature. When tamper
evident stickers are removed or cut, the left surface may show words
such as “Void” or “Opened”. Such will alert the purchaser that the
product he is buying was already tampered.
- Destructible Stickers – These
security stickers are made of sensitive materials that easily tears off
or breaks apart. Thus, removing these security stickers, unaltered or
whole, from the surface on which they came from is virtually impossible.
The material may easily flake off into many pieces. When one sees a
security sticker that appeared to be torn, then one should assume that
the product or package has been tampered with.
- Holograms – These security
stickers guard against counterfeit products. Copying a hologram is
extremely difficult. Thus, holograms are perfect security stickers for
products which may be easily imitated, such as ID cards, certificates,
credit cards, pharmaceutical products, and legal papers. A label and
sticker manufacturer can be asked to create a customized hologram.

security stickers is made of special materials which cannot be read or
distinguished by the naked eye, but can be read by using infrared. These
security barcodes are usually found on employees’ ID, particularly the
security personnel.

stickers used security inks which are also known as thermochromatic ink.

temperatures.

stickers or labels. The sole
purpose of such security stickers is for authentication.
