New security label range with guaranteed supply stability

Packaging Solutions

The new Raflasec range of innovative security labelling materials promises a full 30 month window for any requalification requirements, with a two year shelf life from the date of manufacture and six months' notice of any future change. Each of the four new materials has security, anti-counterfeiting, and tamper proof features.

Raflasec Holo Security is a holographic material that can be combined with security cuts so that the label breaks when tampered with. The material's attractive appearance makes it an ideal choice for luxury packaging applications.

Raflasec Fibres contains both visible and invisible fibres to allow authentication under UV light. This material has a chemical sensitisation feature, meaning it changes colour if removal with chemicals is attempted. It also has low internal strength to ensure that the label tears easily if someone tries to peel it off.

Raflasec Seal also tears easily and offers low investment costs, high opacity, and high printability.

Raflasec Chameleon is a purple-green material that is virtually impossible to copy. When this eye catching label is removed it changes colour and cannot be reapplied, while its dry peel feature ensures that no adhesive residue is left behind.

Raflasec Holo Security and Raflasec Chameleon are both available in smaller order quantities from UPM Raflatac's Small Roll Service, which provides pressure sensitive labelling materials to help customers enter new markets or expand business opportunities with smaller stock quantities.

‘Our change management guarantee for products in the new Raflasec range ensures long term supply stability for manufacturers and reduces the need for requalification,’ explained Thomas Treichel, segment manager, security, postal, UPM Raflatac. ‘All the products in the range are fully backed up by our global supply chain, world class expertise, and comprehensive customer support – bringing even greater peace of mind to security labelling.’
