New tamper-evident films from Hanita Coatings

Hanita Coatings, a supplier of topcoated polyester label face, recently added two new films to its range of tamper-evident security face stock. These brightly colored films contain a covert message only revealed when the label is peeled, leaving a residual ‘void’ footprint on both the applied surface and the lifted label. Even if the label is resealed, the color change void message can still be seen at a distance, clearly indicating illicit activity.

Available in vivid green or dark blue, these 50 micron polyester films are offered with a standard ‘void’ print, or with a personalized message, image or logo to enhance brand integrity. Films are topcoated to ensure optimal print adhesion by conventional print processes and thermal transfer, ideal for tough pharmaceutical, electronic and food packaging applications.

‘Hanita Coatings provides over 40 different types of tamper-evident PET films to the label industry, ranging from transparent, non-visible void films to metalized holographs, with a full gamut of white, silver, colored, glossy or matte films in between,’ explained Nir Dvir, Hanita's print substrates product manager. ‘But these new two color films deliver an exceptionally clear, irreversible indication that the label has been tampered with.’
