 
OverviewCombining security technologies provides maximum protection to combat counterfeiting, diversion, and other supply chain issues. For higher security applications, we offer an optional taggant technology which can be used in conjunction with custom holograms. The custom hologram provides visible anti-counterfeiting protection; the taggants, which are invisible to the naked eye, are machine-read to quickly and reliably identify and authenticate products. Taggants are microscopic particles, which are mixed with inks to create a unique formula which is traceable and machine-readable. The unique formula can be printed on demand as clear or colored inks; the flexibility of printing on demand provides versatility and enhanced security for both short and long production runs. NovaVision offers custom taggant formulations on our custom holograms. We have one formulation which was custom-made for use by NovaVision only. We offer this taggant formulation for use on small and medium custom hologram projects, which allows for quick turnaround and affordable security. Taggants are machine-readable using a portable, hand-held verifier, which is simple and easy-to-use.
The taggant verifiers can be programmed to uniquely identify up to 9 different taggant formulations. When programmed with multiple formulas, each taggant formula is given a specific name (formula #1, March 2006, ABC, etc). When a valid formula is identified, the reader will also display which formulation name was matched. For large projects where higher security is needed, we also offer custom taggant formulations for use with one specific customer. Customer-specific formulations can be used on any type of label — holographic or non-holographic. Periodically changing the taggant formula is another method of enhancing security and differentiating authentic products, similar to changing the combination on a padlock. Longer term, NovaVision intends to add additional “stock” taggant formulations to make this additional security more affordable. Typical applications include:
Our taggant formulations (SmartInk®) and machine verifiers (SignaSure®) are produced by InkSure, an industry leader in security taggant technology. The SmartInk® formulations have covert signatures that — while being invisible and protected from reverse engineeering attempts — are easily read by the SignaSure® readers.

ProductsStandard Taggant FormulationThe standard NovaVision taggant formulation is available for use only on custom holograms. The pricing table shown below is the additional cost of adding taggants to a custom hologram label (1 inch square or smaller) produced by NovaVision: 1) Label Pricing:
*Excludes Taggant Machine Verifier | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The taggant
verifier must be placed directly on top of the hologram/taggant
area.
Then, press one button — in less than 5 seconds
the reader will authenticate the hologram label.
If both
the taggant and hologram are authentic, the reader will
illuminate a green light and the word “PASS” will
show in the display. 
If the taggant formula or hologram
is different from the programmed limits (or if either
is missing), a red light will illuminate and the word “FAIL” appears
in the display.
