UPM expands void security label range

UPM Raflatac has expanded its European void security labeling range with products offering enhanced security and greater visual differentiation.

UPM expands void security label range

Void films provide tamper-evidence and product authentication. They leave a text, pattern or logo on packages and casings when the label is partially or fully removed, and they cannot be smoothed back down undetected. Often used as sealing labels, voids also support printed authentication for individual items or carry information such as warranty numbers and expiry dates.

New additions to UPM Raflatac's void range introduce features for high level tamper-evidence and product authentication. Void Text Tinted TC 36 offers a darkish, semi-silvery metallized transparent look, and Void Text 2 Colour TC 50 has a green exterior, while the hidden text is revealed in blue. Void Fluor Red/Blue TC 50 offers semi-covert security feature. When exposed to UV light, the top surface reflects in fluorescent blue (also supporting label detection), and the reverse reflects in fluorescent red. Void Text Blue TC 36 and Void Text Red TC 36 are available in range of colors and thicknesses to expand existing options. Microvoid Blue PP TC 50 is a flexible material for labeling tightly contoured and small diameter surfaces. 

UPM Raflatac's standard voids leave a sticky residue on the labeled substrate. When packages need to remain attractive and are part of a product's value, No Tack voids leave a smooth and silky message that doesn't attract dust or dirt. For custom requirements, the company produces voids with texts, patterns, logos and colors according to specifications from label end-users and brand owners.
