Graphic Art New Technology and Olympic Games Peers (1)

At the Beijing Olympics, new printing technologies are widely used in various Olympic prints. Environmentally-friendly “green” printing materials such as paper and ink have been greatly promoted. PP paper, rice paper, and silk wa Variety, especially anti-counterfeiting technology and digital graphic arts, will be demonstrated in the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympics. Especially applying RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification Technology) to Beijing Olympic tickets is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

Olympic ticket embedded chip security

"The anti-counterfeiting technology for the tickets for the Beijing Olympics is definitely higher than the best ever made in Germany." In the press conference for the Beijing Olympic Games ticket release, technical workers will always compare the tickets for the two tournaments. The killer that gives technical workers confidence is the RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification Technology) unique to the Beijing Olympic Games.

According to information released on the official website of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, such an anti-counterfeit chip is contained in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games. This small chip contains the globally unique serial number and private information of the ticket purchaser. Ordinary tickets will also have such a 1 mm wide chip. When the audience enters the stadium with Olympic tickets, they can only enter the market by holding tickets at the ticket machine. The use of embedded chip tickets, this is the first time in the history of the Olympic Games.

In addition to small chips, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee used more than 20 anti-counterfeiting technologies in the ticket production process. In 2004, tickets for the Athens Olympic Games were printed with 11 anti-counterfeiting measures.

The Beijing Olympic Games ticket has integrated multiple anti-counterfeiting technologies such as electronics and physics, including offset microtext, dynamic holographic window security lines, and holographic aluminum anti-counterfeiting technologies. With these anti-counterfeiting measures, the speed of authenticating tickets can be greatly improved at the time of the competition, and at the same time, the occurrence of large-scale scalping can be effectively prevented.

In addition, during the printing of the Olympic Games, security printing inks were selected and advanced materials were used. Even if the tickets were inadvertently drenched in water, they would not affect their use. According to the main designers of the tickets for the Olympic Games, there is a special place on the tickets that is Fuwa.
