Counterfeit packaging has been rising year after year, and for medicines it puts lives at risk. We build covert and overt security features into your cartons and labels, so customers, distributors and inspectors can tell a genuine pack from a copy.
Overt, semi-covert and covert features, each checked by a different person.
One feature on its own can be copied. We combine features from each layer, so a counterfeiter has to defeat all of them at once.
Features a shopper or pharmacist can check by eye or by tilting the pack, such as holographic foils, colour-shift effects and tamper-evident seals.
Features that appear under a UV torch, a magnifier or a matched decoder lens, such as UV-reactive inks, micro-text and hidden images.
Features built into the artwork itself, such as line modulation, guilloche and relief structures and IR inks, which need lab tools or the original design file to verify.
Every feature is designed in our pre-press studio and proofed on our own Heidelberg presses, so line frequencies and registration are tuned to the actual job.
Text, logos or codes that stay invisible in daylight and glow under a UV lamp. A quick check for distributors and inspectors.
Inks that look identical to normal ink but respond differently under infrared, so only an IR reader can confirm the mark.
Print that changes or disappears when rubbed or warmed with a finger, then returns as it cools. Easy for anyone to test.
Lines of text too small to read without magnification. Scanners and photocopiers blur them into a plain line, which exposes a copy instantly.
Fine interlaced spirals, wheel patterns and waved borders of the kind used on banknotes and certificates. Each design is generated mathematically and is very hard to redraw.
Line patterns that bend to create a raised, embossed look without any embossing tool. Pattern relief fills the effect with a chosen line pattern.
A logo or image rendered entirely in lines whose width and path vary subtly. The result is pure vector artwork that is close to impossible to reproduce.
A first line of defence against photocopiers and scanners. A hidden word such as VOID or COPY appears on any copy. We test line frequencies on press before release.
Holographic foils and patches applied on our Heidelberg foiling line. They shift with the viewing angle and are hard to imitate with ordinary print.
Seals and carton features that show clear evidence if a pack has been opened, combined with track-and-trace and serialised codes where needed.
Three of our features, live. Move the loupe, drag the decoder and run the photocopy test.
From a distance you see an emblem. Under the loupe it is made entirely of lines that swell and thin to create the image. A scanner cannot rebuild those exact paths.
Move your pointer or finger over the imageThe printed pattern looks like plain lines. Lay the matched decoder film over it and the hidden word appears. Without the right decoder, nothing shows.

Security features printed at our Gurugram plant for pharma and FMCG brands.
We look at how your product is being copied, where it sells and who needs to verify it.
We recommend a mix of overt and covert features that fits your budget and artwork.
Our studio builds the security elements into your artwork and proofs them on press.
Production runs under GMP controls, with decoders and verification guides for your team.
Overt features, such as holograms, can be checked by anyone without tools. Covert features, such as hidden images, IR inks or line modulation, are invisible to the public and are verified by your own staff or a lab using a decoder, UV lamp or reader.
Most covert features are built into your existing artwork and are not noticeable to the eye. Hidden images, for example, look identical to the original design until a decoder is placed over them.
Yes. Our pre-press studio adds security elements to your existing artwork. We only need your approved design files and an idea of which layers of protection you want.
Yes. Each hidden-image design comes with matched decoder lenses for your brand protection and field teams, along with a short verification guide.
Yes. Security printing runs on the same GMP-compliant lines as our standard pharma cartons and can be combined with braille embossing, serialisation and track-and-trace codes.
