OpSec adds Precision for enhanced security and branding

OpSec Security has launched Precision, its latest technology that uses selective metalization to enhance security and branding.

To demonstrate Precision, OpSec Security used an image of Pegasus, a creature from Greek mythology, to demonstrate the detail capable of being produced

OpSec Precision is a selectively metalized product that is tightly registered to the primary branded image, removing the constraints of standard die cuts often seen in authentication labels, according to OpSec Security.

To demonstrate Precision, OpSec Security used an image of Pegasus, a creature from Greek mythology, to demonstrate the detail capable of being produced. Selectively removing the unused metal around the horse, Precision leaves the features of the tail, wings and each hoof. Die-cutting tools often used by counterfeiters cannot maintain the level of registration required for such detailed imagery. Precision can also be used in conjunction with OpSec’s complete optical technology portfolio, resulting in a unique appearance that increases both security and branding for clients’ logos and trademarks.

Following its initial introduction in the transaction card market, OpSec Precision is now available for other applications.

‘Law enforcement and authenticators need easily visible cues to quickly determine an item’s authenticity,’ said Ben Stump, chief technology officer at OpSec Security. ‘By combining our world-class optical technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology like Precision, OpSec is able to take an exponential leap ahead of the counterfeiters’ capabilities for large-scale programs… all without the use of expensive readers, chemicals and tools.’
