Brand Protection
Secure Your Digital Printed Label With Brand Protection
Brands are out to tackle the global threat of counterfeiting attacks. Due to customer demand, MCC’s goal is to maximize your firewall with brand security features on your label. HP Indigo solutions are divided into different security levels and types of authenticators. The more levels and/or authenticators you combine, the better your brand will be protected.
Authenticated by brand inspectors or authorities
Authenticated by end users
Variable data
This feature is not only a nice innovation to use in games and promotions; it is also a great way to secure your label. A combination of unique codes gives added protection, and if these codes are registered in a database, it allows tracking down to the item level.

Invisible elements
If your label’s aesthetics cannot be ‘disturbed’ by visual elements, you could consider using invisible ink. The micro QR codes and serialized microtext can be digitally printed, remaining invisible to the naked eye
Layered Protection
Effective protection should make the package too complicated and too expensive to be counterfeit. Layered protection consists of combinations of solutions and features from multiple security levels and different kinds of technologies. Such as security elements and designs, security inks, track and trace and substrates for security.
