PROFOUND™ Plus

PROFOUND™ Plus provides an additional layer of protection against fraud. A copy-resistant signature can be embedded within the PROFOUND™ Micro-Optic labels, adding an invisible layer of extra security; impossible to remove and impervious to wear and aging. This is the first time a covert signature measurable with a handheld device has been designed into a micro-optic film providing auditors, customs officials, and similar authorities with a quick, and absolute check of verification. 

Solution-Oriented

Our micro-optic security features are flexible in their ability to be combined with conventional security features, including security inks, forensic taggants, and track-and-trace. We also offer our label construction in a heat-disruptable material to prevent harvesting.
