SecureLabels

With dedicated security materials, tampering attempts are rendered immediately obvious, effectively protecting products and packaging against unauthorized opening or removal.

Depending on your specific requirements, various security concepts are available:

• VOID security adhesive material with visible warning text or custom security pattern upon removal
• Destructible tamper-evident films (brittle materials) with security slitting
• Security kiss-cuts and custom geometries preventing transfer without destruction
• Opaque / blockout constructions for complete cover-up
• High-performance acrylic adhesives for smooth, textured, high-, and low-energy surfaces
• Engineered combinations of security substrates, specialized inks, and unique identification marks

This creates label solutions that reliably reveal unauthorized interventions.

In many supply chains, physical security is only half the battle – unambiguous, digital individualization is equally critical.

FÖRSTER SecureLabels can be fully individualized during production. Through high-resolution digital printing, we integrate unique dynamic identifiers directly into each label:

• Consecutive serial numbers and alphanumeric batches
• Dynamic 2D codes: DataMatrix, QR codes, GS1 Digital Link
• Unique device identification (UDI) and cryptographically signed URLs
• Linear barcodes (Code 128, 2/5 Interleaved, etc.)

This turns each label into an unforgeable, individually verifiable digital product identity.

Many industrial manufacturing setups require high-quality branded security labels where variable batch data is added on-the-fly during assembly.

Individual data is imprinted directly in your production or packaging line:

• Serial Number | Lot / Batch | Production Date | Consecutive Number | QR Code | DataMatrix Code | Variable Product Data

You receive a premium, pre-printed security label that receives its unique digital footprint in the final packaging stage.

Various software, ERP, MES, serialization, and IT security systems are used across industry to generate and manage secure codes.

We intentionally do not offer proprietary IT security software. That is deliberately outside our core business.

Instead, we seamlessly connect your existing IT infrastructure with the optimal physical security label.

Depending on your workflow, you can supply print datasets directly from your ERP/database. We process this data during production, applying serialized codes via high-definition digital printing.

Alternatively, you receive partially pre-printed SecureLabels configured for trouble-free variable data imprinting on your production floor.

Your existing IT investments remain completely intact – while FÖRSTER delivers the perfect physical security carrier.

The synergy of physical tamper-evidence and digital identity unlocks maximum brand protection.

Unique serialized codes verify item authenticity, trace components throughout the lifecycle, and instantly connect end-users or service engineers to secure cloud databases.

For these implementations, enterprises frequently collaborate with specialized providers of serialization, digital product passports, and IT security.

The matching physical carrier is engineered by FÖRSTER:

• Your IT / Serialization Solution → Unique Data → FÖRSTER SecureLabel → Verified Product Marking

If you already deploy an established software or hardware solution, we calibrate the label precisely to your inspection systems.

Not every variable data point is available at the time of label production.

For data generated during final assembly, SecureLabels can be optimized for subsequent thermal transfer imprinting (TTR).

This allows manufacturing dates, real-time batch numbers, individualized MAC addresses, or calibration results to be added seamlessly on your packaging lines.

Genuine security starts with selecting the right adhesive and substrate chemistry.

We meticulously engineer every parameter:

• Surface: smooth, textured, powder-coated, high-energy or low-surface-energy plastics (PP, PE, ABS)
• Adhesive: custom-formulated to trigger the tamper mechanism reliably without allowing peel-and-reseal
• Substrates: tamper-evident films, destructible acrylates, security papers, and specialized multi-layer laminates
• Printing: vibrant brand graphics combined with razor-sharp serialized barcodes and microtext
• Security Feature: VOID effect, checkerboard pattern, complete fiber-tear, brittle fragmentation, or security kiss-cuts
• Imprinting: matched topcoats for smudge-proof, chemical-resistant thermal transfer ribbons

Durability: configured to withstand UV radiation, aggressive cleaning agents, extreme temperatures (-40 °C to +150 °C), moisture, and abrasion across the product's full operational lifespan.

Whether tamper-evident seals for transit packaging, OEM brand authentication labels, serialized asset identification, or pre-printed base labels for variable in-line thermal transfer printing:

We engineer your security labeling system matched to product substrate, security level, environmental stressors, and manufacturing workflow.
