Payne Security invests in security label production facility

Significant investment in a new security label production facility has enhanced Payne Security’s capability to offer its wide range of security technologies across a variety of substrates, confirming the company as a ‘one stop shop’ for brand protection and document authentication solutions.

Using its ‘toolbox’ of security technologies, Payne Security can meet a variety of needs from authentication to track & trace and tamper evidence. With a wide choice of self-adhesive security labels, laminates, tear tapes, inks and threads the company can recommend the most appropriate substrate and carrier for the customer’s needs.

The new label manufacturing facility, which will be installed at Payne Security’s site in Banbury, UK, maximizes the company’s ability to utilize its range of print techniques that include flexo, digital and gravure. This range of printing options ensures that Payne Security is able to integrate the widest range of security technologies onto labels, thereby providing multiple levels of security. In particular gravure print enables the incorporation of overt and covert security features such as fine line, microtext and color shift inks into labels, widening the opportunities available to customers.

‘Self-adhesive security labels are one of the most flexible methods of integrating brand protection and authentication solutions onto products, and we recognized the benefits of investing in terms of current and future performance,’ commented head of marketing Simon Wildash. ‘The full toolbox of Payne Security technologies can now be incorporated into labels to offer unrivalled security choice across a variety of label substrates.’

The number and sophistication of security features in use on labels is an increasing trend. According to PIRA, for example, holographic features and optically variable devices (OVDs) are used by 54 per cent of brand owners using a brand protection technology. 

Payne Security’s range of security labels, available in paper or filmic types, includes: labels with unique/sequential numbering; labels with integrated security technologies from the Payne Security ‘toolbox’; and labels that incorporate tamper evidence through devices such as highly aggressive adhesives, frangible base stocks and VOID releases. 

‘By combining our security technologies with our range of label substrates we can provide the ideal label to protect products from counterfeit and provide tamper evidence in a single label solution,’ added Simon Wildash.
