Ghost Label
High-Security Asset Labels
Traditional applications of nanotags generally require the uniform application of nanotag-containing adhesive onto the surface of the product. While effective, this method is complex and time-consuming.
The adhesive application requires precise control and must dry under suitable environmental conditions, adding to the complexity of the anti-counterfeiting process and increasing dependency on environmental factors. Any mishandling or changes in environmental conditions could affect the performance of the nanotag, thereby compromising the anti-counterfeiting effect.
To address these challenges, the invention of the Ghost Label was introduced. This innovative approach directly embeds the nanotag into the middle transparent security layer, forming a self-contained label structure.
The anti-counterfeiting transfer label consists of four layers: adhesive layer, security layer, printing layer, and release layer. The security layer is positioned on the upper surface of the adhesive layer, the printing layer on the upper surface of the security layer, and the release layer on the upper surface of the printing layer. During use, the entire label is directly affixed to the substrate, fully pressed, and then the release layer is peeled away from the upper surface of the printing layer, leaving only the transparent printing and security layers adhered to the substrate.
The printing layer contains the nanotag ID and a QR code for verification. The nanotag is embedded in the transparent security layer, allowing it to be clearly identified and verified using specific optical equipment. This design simplifies the anti-counterfeiting process to that of a standard labeling procedure, significantly improving operational convenience and production efficiency.
Compared to traditional spraying methods, the Ghost Label eliminates the steps of spraying and drying, reducing potential operational errors while ensuring the stability and longevity of the nanotag within the label. As the nanotag is encapsulated within the label, it is protected from external environmental degradation, further enhancing the anti-counterfeiting performance. Moreover, the embedded design allows the Ghost Label to appear visually identical to an ordinary label, while its internal nanostructure provides robust, invisible anti-counterfeiting capabilities.
This new four-layer label structure represents a significant advancement in nanotag anti-counterfeiting technology, particularly suited for fields requiring high security and simplified operational processes, such as luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, electronic components, and other high-value or sensitive products. This technology not only reduces implementation costs but also enhances the overall reliability and operability of anti-counterfeiting systems.
ADVANTAGE
1. Security
- Advanced Anti-Counterfeiting Technology
The new transparent Ghost Label incorporates advanced microdot anti-counterfeiting technology. These microdots are made from specific metal materials and have unique anti-counterfeit IDs etched on their surfaces. They are only visible under high-magnification microscopes, and each label’s ID is unique, making it extremely difficult to replicate or counterfeit. As these microdots are embedded within the adhesive layer, counterfeiters are virtually unable to imitate or duplicate the label using conventional methods. - Resistance to Physical Damage
Traditional anti-counterfeiting technologies often lose their effectiveness when the label is physically damaged. However, with the new label, the anti-counterfeit ID is deeply embedded within the adhesive layer, meaning that even if the label's surface is scratched, torn, or otherwise physically compromised, there is a high likelihood that the microdots will remain intact. This design significantly enhances the label's security, making it difficult for physical damage to disrupt its anti-counterfeit properties. - Durability
The new label is constructed from durable materials that can maintain their integrity and functionality under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, high humidity, or intense UV exposure. The metal microdots are highly stable, and the etched anti-counterfeit IDs are resistant to fading over time or due to environmental factors, ensuring that the label provides continuous high-level anti-counterfeit protection throughout the product's lifecycle.
2. Convenience
- Seamless Integration
Due to the label's transparent nature, it can be applied to any surface, regardless of material or color, without affecting the product's design. This design makes the label nearly invisible, revealing its anti-counterfeiting features only when verification is needed. The transparent label can seamlessly integrate with various product packaging without compromising brand image or display aesthetics. - Simplified Verification Process
The process of verifying the anti-counterfeiting features is straightforward and can be completed with a common high-magnification microscope. Users do not need complex specialized equipment, reducing the technical barrier during verification while improving operational convenience and speed. This design is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring large-scale, rapid verification, such as logistics, warehousing, and mass product authentication. - Versatility Across Applications
This label is adaptable to a wide range of applications, from industrial manufacturing and luxury goods packaging to pharmaceuticals, food, and other high-security-sensitive fields. Additionally, its transparency and high compatibility mean it can be applied to any material, including glass, metal, plastic, and paper, without material restrictions.
3. Uniqueness
- Innovative Materials and Design
This label combines transparent materials with metal microdot etching technology, making it a rare and innovative anti-counterfeiting solution in the market. Its design not only offers significant advantages in anti-counterfeiting effectiveness but also does so without disrupting the original aesthetic of the product. This uniqueness achieves an ideal balance between functionality and visual appeal. - Robust Customization Capabilities
The anti-counterfeit microdots and IDs of the label can be customized according to client needs, catering to specific requirements of different products and markets. Whether for mass production or small-scale high-end customization, this label can flexibly respond. Through customized design, the label's exclusivity and anti-counterfeiting capabilities can be further enhanced, allowing each client to have a unique anti-counterfeiting solution.
