Canada based product developer Creo Inc announced it signed a deal with Acucote to produce security label printing stocks. The self-adhesive label stocks will combine Creo Traceless taggants into Acucote label materials, which will be sold to label converters for the manufacture of product labels for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, apparel, food and beverage, and other industries. The Creo Traceless marking and sensing system incorporates a new patents-pending technology that allows the creation of unique, forensically-invisible identification codes. These codes can be used for anti-counterfeiting, inventory management, product tracking and tracing, or brand authentication. Only Creo readers can detect the presence of the security taggants. In addition to product label stock, Creo taggants can be added to paper pulp or woven fibers, printing inks, copier and printer toners, varnishes, sprays, powders, paints, glass, building materials, molded or extruded plastics, molten metals, fuels, fertilizers and explosives, and other materials. Creo product security and authentication systems include multiple taggants, electronic sensing and imaging equipment, and database-driven software. The exclusive agreement between Creo and Acucote, a North Carolina-based pressure-sensitive label stock manufacturer, will allow the production of official product brand authentication label stocks that target the global problem of product counterfeiting, document authentication and brand security.
