Hanita Coatings Introduces New Tamper-Evident Face Stock

Thursday 17. April 2008 - Hanita Coatings, a provider of topcoated polyester label face, recently added two new films to its portfolio of tamper-evident security face stock. These distinctively colored films contain a covert message only revealed when peeled, leaving a residual "void" footprint on both the applied surface and the lifted label. Even if the label is resealed, the color-change void message clearly indicates illicit activity.

Available in vivid green or dark blue, these 50 micron polyester films are offered with a standard “void” text, or with a personalized message, image or logo to enhance brand identification. Films are topcoated to ensure optimal print adhesion by conventional print processes and thermal transfer, ideal for demanding pharmaceutical, electronic and food packaging applications.

“Hanita Coatings provides over 40 different types of tamper-evident PET face films to the label industry. These range from transparent, non-visible void films to metallized holographs, with a full gamut of white, silver, colored, glossy or matte films in between,” explains Nir Dvir, Hanita’s print substrates product manager. “But these new two-color films show that the label has been tampered with in a way that is irreversible, and easy to spot at a distance.”
