Overview
For higher security applications, we offer optional taggant technology which can be used in conjunction with custom holograms or custom security labels.
A hologram provides visible anti-counterfeiting protection; the taggants, which are invisible to the naked eye, are machine-read to further identify and authenticate products.
Taggants are microscopic particles, which are invisible to the naked eye. They are mixed with inks to create unique features which are machine-readable.
Some taggants fluoresce when viewed with a UV black light.
Others are viewable when exposed to Infra-Red (IR) light. And others are invisible and can only be detected with a special hand-held electronic sensor.
The taggant 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.
We have two stock formulations, which allows for quick turnaround and affordable security. The stock formulations are only available for use with custom holograms.
We also offer the option for custom taggant formulations, which can be used with any custom security label.
Combining security technologies provides additional protection to combat counterfeiting, diversion, and other supply chain issues.
Typical applications include:
Brand Protection
High Value Collectibles
High Security ID products
Warranty Claims
Security Documents
Typical Use:
Taggants are machine-readable using a portable, hand-held verifier, which is simple and easy-to-use.
The taggant verifier must be positioned directly on top of the taggant area.

Then, press one button — in less than 5 seconds the reader will authenticate the hologram label
.
If the taggant is detected, the reader will illuminate a green light and the word “PASS” will show in the display.

If the taggant formula is different from the programmed limits (or is missing), a red light will illuminate and the word “FAIL” appears in the display.

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.
