Superline anti-counterfeiting technology in cigarette marking

Hyper-line security is a use of lines for security. Does not increase printing costs and security effects quite professional anti-counterfeiting printing technology. Previously, it was mainly applied to high-end professional printing fields such as banknotes, securities, certificates, and passports. With the promotion of cigarette marking printing technology and the market demand for anti-counterfeit labels, super-line anti-counterfeiting printing technology was widely used in anti-forgery printing of tobacco labels. .

The main features of anti-counterfeiting

1 Full use of lines for anti-counterfeiting, and can produce rich curves, thickness, yin and yang lines and other types of changes in anti-counterfeiting performance, and the use of general-purpose software can not reproduce the effect of such lines;

2 Anti-counterfeiting is completed in the process of design and plate making, and no additional paper, ink, auxiliary materials and management are added during the printing process;

3Using optical principle, spectroscopy technology, printing technology and other technical principles, together with dedicated super-wire production software to achieve a variety of anti-counterfeiting effects, such as ground pattern, relief micro-engraving, unlocking, latent image, rifling, etc.;

4 can effectively prevent photographic or electronic scanning methods of reproduction. Through the use of special software to create a hyper-line anti-counterfeiting, the effect after printing is very clear lines, and through the scan is a rough dot. In particular, the lines have been deformed irregularly, and the width and spacing of the lines have been changed irregularly. Even if the pattern is enlarged, it can hardly be imitated. There are two-color curves, the application of yin-yang thread curling and embossing, which set various obstacles for the copying person, making complete copying almost impossible.

Types of superwires used for smoke tag anti-counterfeiting The main types of superwire designs used for smoke tag anti-counterfeit are: ground grain, embossing, and microfabrication.

Geotextiles are mainly used to produce anti-counterfeiting backgrounds. Generally, lighter and lighter colors are used. Larger distances and finer lines can be used to see only a shallow background at a long distance. There are many thin lines printed. Above the bank passbooks and tax stamps are the typical use of the ground grain, which can not affect the continued writing and reading of the text printed on the ground grain, as the application of the ground grain on the smoke sign, mainly applied to the glue box position of the soft box. Or the tongue part of the cigarette box of the hard box, these places were previously blank, and the use of the grain pattern takes into account the security of the product, and the use of the grain pattern on the main position of the smoke label is not very large.

Relief and anti-counterfeiting are generally using lines and embossing procedures in combination with the background to create sculptural bumpy three-dimensional effects. This anti-counterfeiting technology has typical applications on train tickets and bankbooks. On the cigarette label is mainly used for the product's brand name or the main body pattern, but this anti-counterfeiting effect will not be applied to the main body of the cigarette label. For example, the gold leaf's cigarette mark, in the tongue part of the hard box cigarette label, has adopted relief patterns, fully embodying the cigarette brand's “golden leaf”.

Microfilming is the replacement of lines with text, English letters, numbers, etc., a thin line. A closer look at the magnifier reveals that it is composed of many words, English letters, numbers, etc. It is also possible to generate more changes in these curves to enhance the anti-counterfeiting function. Especially in recent years, the laser engraved gravure printing plate technology and equipment have matured, making the application of miniature text in cigarette marking printing has been fully developed. For example, the red flag channel smoke label uses microtext when it is designing the solar rays. The sun's rays are composed of unconnected “8” lines, and the width of the line is continuously widened along the direction of the light rays.

Of course, with the development of smoke label printing technology, special professional anti-counterfeiting technologies such as unlocking, filtering, latent images, and squall lines will also be used more widely in cigarette label printing.
