Development Prospect of Anti-counterfeiting Technology for Tobacco Packaging Printing

The current anti-counterfeit work of cigarette packs still has the misunderstanding of simply relying on a certain technology and neglecting management, ignoring comprehensive anti-counterfeiting, and not paying attention to the consumer's recognition ability and level, and the anti-counterfeiting effect is not ideal.

Effective anti-counterfeiting methods for cigarette packs: consumers do not need professional knowledge to easily identify, the use of technology is extremely difficult to achieve, both unique packaging effects, while the organic combination of science and technology and management technology. This should be the direction of development of tobacco packet printing security.

1. Consumers can identify without the need for professional facts

The packaging anti-counterfeiting technology applied in the Chinese market is classified:

First-line packaging anti-counterfeiting technology: popularization, consumers can independently identify the authenticity of the packaging technology, such as printing security, ink and paper and other anti-counterfeiting technology.

Second-line packaging anti-counterfeiting technology: Based on the first-line anti-counterfeiting, it requires businesses, experts and technical supervision departments to be firm. If necessary, it also needs special equipment, commonly used laser holographic packaging anti-counterfeiting technology, security code anti-counterfeiting technology and RFID technology.

For consumers to easily identify, security must be based on the first-line packaging anti-counterfeiting technology.

2. Using an extremely sophisticated anti-counterfeiting technology

The comprehensive anti-counterfeiting technology that is extremely difficult to imitate: the combination of first-line packaging anti-counterfeiting technology and second-line packaging anti-counterfeiting technology.

Typical technology: holographic positioning precision aluminum removal technology:

In the battle against counterfeiting, laser holographic anti-counterfeiting technology has made considerable progress in recent years in order to enhance the security of laser holograms. Holographic anti-counterfeiting experienced the changes of 2D/3D, 2D/3D encryption, dot matrix, transparent holography, photopolymer holography, and digital holography, and entered the seventh generation “synthetic hologram”, especially the holographic positioning technology for accurate dealuminization in the euro The successful application of the Olympic Games in Athens and the two highlights of laser holographic anti-counterfeiting technology have indisputably maintained the position of laser holography in the field of anti-counterfeiting.

The holographic positioning precision aluminum removal technology is considered as one of the highest levels of anti-counterfeiting technology. It is used by euros and many other countries’ banknotes as well as diplomatic visas and securities of many countries. It is used in medicines, food products, financial telecommunication certificates and other products. It has also been widely used as a banknote-level anti-counterfeiting technology.

The precise dealuminization technology of holographic positioning consists of laser holographic encryption anti-counterfeiting technology, holographic positioning stamping technology, holographic sleeve printing technology, and precision aluminum washing process technology.

Technical Parameters:

Diffraction efficiency: ≥8%; signal to noise ratio ≥ 20;

Hot stamping speed: no less than 6000 times/hour;

Image position deviation: both longitudinal and transverse directions are not more than 0.2mm;

Edition seam: not more than 0.2mm;

Black spots: no more than 10 dark spots per square meter with a diameter of not more than 0.3mm;

Printing aluminum removal positioning accuracy: ± 0.20mm

The mathematical grating is used to phase-modulate the diffraction grating, and confidential information is set on the hologram. With the laser pen, the reflection or projection of the encrypted information can be conveniently realized.

At present, the world's largest manufacturer of holographic positioning dealuminization products is Germany KURZ company, and its product index represents the world's leading level.

Typical Technology: Holographic Positioning Hot Stamping Technology with Thermochromism

The holographic positioning hot stamping technology with the temperature-changing color-changing function is composed of an accurate dealuminization technology, an ink anti-counterfeit technology suitable for high-speed hot stamping, and a special printing process technology.

Typical technologies: The emerging RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology will inevitably penetrate into the cigarette packaging field after achieving good results in the logistics field and financial charging field.

3. Unique packaging effect

Good anti-counterfeiting technology not only has the function of anti-counterfeiting, but also plays a role in transmitting product information and promoting brand image due to its unique packaging effect. Printing anti-counterfeiting technology, ink anti-counterfeiting technology and a series of laser holographic anti-counterfeiting technology can all play this role.

4. Organic Combination of Science, Technology and Management Technology

Commodity anti-counterfeiting requires businesses, anti-counterfeit enterprises, and packaging companies to jointly complete the process. This requires that for the anti-counterfeit technology information of the packaging of goods, there should be a complete set of management measures between enterprises, and strict requirements on relevant personnel to avoid anti-counterfeiting technology Information disclosure is used by counterfeiters. At the same time, whether or not the counterfeit product itself is qualified is also crucial.
