3D Holograms to become forgery proof identi iers

ayer Material Science has developed light sensitive ilms that are marketed under the Bayfol HX that has its applications in manufacturing ID cards that are forgery proofed. The technology involves photopolymer ilms such as the Bayfol HX wherein the holographic image is inscribed on it and upon exposure to laser beams is made visible thereby providing secure physical authentication. These photopolymer materials are cost-effective, ideal for mass

production since they do not require any chemical processes or thermal treatment to go through. Bayfol HX based holograms can be portraits, company logos or even stereograms. The material ensures that the colour of the portrait does not change irrespective of the angle it is viewed from hence the rainbow effect as we see in conventional holographic material is completely avoided. Unlike the conventional holographic materials, the Bayfol HX requires no metallic background and virtually any background can be utilized.

Bayer MaterialScience distributes Bayfol HX for security related applications and to select hologram manufacturers with specialized knowledge. It caters to the automotive, electronics and electrical, construction, sports and leisure industries and had 30 productions centres and employ close to 14700 staff worldwide. Bayer Material Science has a turnover of 10.2 billion and is considered to be one of the worlds premier polymer manufacturing companies.

Kurz new art in design box

he stamping foil manufacturer Kurz presented the premiere edition of its Presentation design and art box at this years Luxepack. The company plans to produce a new edition of the Presentation box on an annual basis, and to dedicate each one to a speci ic theme. The irst edition, titled Metropolis, deals thematically with various metropolises around the world. The Metropolis box contains six individual smaller boxes, each representing

a speci ic metropolis. The packaging of each box has been designed in such a way as to symbolize the characteristics and distinguishing qualities of the corresponding city, thereby highlighting the wide variety of ways in which hot stamping and cold foiling can be used to convey messages. The boxes demonstrate how warm or cool metallic tones, glittery holographic structures, lavish structured stampings or sumptuous reliefs can

be employed to capture the atmosphere of a city. Invitation to collectors The packaging design adorns ive sides of each box, but does not extend to the sixth side. Instead, this side of each box presents a portion of an artistic image so that, when all boxes have been arranged correctly, a complete picture is formed. The creator of this artwork, which has been produced using stamping foils, is Michael Matthaeus Martha, an artist in Frth where the headquarters of the KURZ Group is located. Marthas picture depicts an artistic interpretation of the metropolis theme, which is explained in an accompanying lea let. Kurz is offering this work to its customers as a genuine collectors item. It is the irst item in a planned collection of artworks, all of which will be decorated with hot stamping or cold foils and assembled from individual packaging items.

Holographic Packaging
Enhancing brand appeal and protecting brand equity
Product packaging plays an important role in product protection as well a key marketing role in developing on shelf appeal, providing product information and establishing brand image and awareness. With nearly thousands of products introduced every year, selection of a right technology is a big challenge both for packaging experts and product manufacturers. Further, in time of global market conditions, brand owners are also facing the problem of tampering and counterfeiting. Here, we examine how holographic packaging playing an important role in brand enhancement and brand equity protection.

Cadbury used it and resulted in increased sales of 25% to one of its confectionary bar.

Introduction: Hologram has evolved from security to packaging since GlaxoSmithKline used it in 1989. In 1990s period many companies follow up the Glaxo example and started using holographic lexible packaging for product launches and promotions. Cadbury used it and resulted in increased sales of 25% to one of its confectionary bar. The most signi icant development was the adoption of holography by Colgate Palmolive for most of its dental care range throughout the world as a long term feature, following the outstanding success of holographic ilm on two cartons of its toothpaste in Europe. Although Colgate followed SmithKline in it use of holography for its carton, Colgate seized the initiative to use holography in co-ordinated manner across the world of its dental care range globally. With the progress of time, holographic ilms and foils feature in a variety of packaging constructions and are used for

a huge range of products from low value fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) such as snack foods and confectionary products to premium priced products such as spirits and perfumes. What is holographic packaging? In general terms, the uses of holographic materials, foils or ilms in packaging can be termed as holographic packaging. The holographic solution includes; Holographic hot stamp foils Laminating ilms Holographic selective cold transfer ilm Holographic transfer ilm total cold

These all solutions can be used in lexible, rigid packaging and decorative labels. Further, overt and covert security features can also be combined in these solutions and if designed appropriately can be used to protect the product packaging from counterfeiting as well increasing brand appeal.

opting for special tamper-proof packages. Worldwide some of the most commonly counterfeit goods include nutracuticals, coffee, baby formulated, bottled water and medicines. Besides the losses the companies make in the domestic market, there is a huge international market to keep in mind as well. Some countries have compulsory requirement of tamper-proof packaging in all imports to the country, as one of the biggest motivations to introduce better packaging. Though various packaging solutions are now under consideration, the multiplefeature based designs are now driving industry, said Rajiv Dhar, Director, Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), an autonomous body under the aegis of the Union ministry of commerce and industry. Take the instance of Indian pharmacompanies which are using holographic packaging for their tablet strips. Today, most

holograms are used as printed material in forms of small stickers or labels, and pasted to a corner of the package, or on the lid opening. But with holographic packaging, you can cover more of the packages surface with holograms making it harder to counterfeit. Conclusion: Holography is pushing the boundaries in areas of packaging and authentication. The technology is limited to imagination. Holograms and holographic effects have proved themselves successfully for packaging of branded products, foods, pharmaceuticals etc for many years. However, a combination of multiple layers of overt and covert security is always bene icial. As technology continues to develop, theres no reason why the hologram will not continue to evolve as packaging designers become ever more comfortable with it and continue to see the bene its unfold before their eyes.

Dixie Toga, Latin America 2010 Dixie Toga Holographic Empty Packs Casa Rex, Design Agency

The background to the campaign When a brand wants to sell its products, packaging is a way of making it better looking and more attractive to the clients. What happens though when a brand wants to sell a packaging? That was the problem of Dixie Toga a packaging brand which could now sell holographic shopping bags.To inform their clients about it, Dixie Toga appointed Casarex a design agency for the purpose. They created a series of empty packagings with amazing graphics and designs on them.

Empty holographic packaging

The challenge/trigger event Objective : To sell holography for packaging Challenge : To sell empty holographic packs.

Empty holographic packaging colors

The solution As the objective was to sell holography for packaging, it would be natural to expect to see holographic packs. But this posed a problem: there was nothing inside the packs and therefore, no theme or concept that could be explored from a design perspective. Faced with this scenario, instead of developing meaningless dummies posing as real products (a common technique used in the packaging industry), Casa Rex came up with an innovative concept and developed the Dixie Toga Empty Packs, turning the no content issue into the creative idea behind the execution. The designing company personalized phrases like Im empty or Theres absolutely nothing inside me to deliver relevant and fun content for each holographic pack design. To portray the different moods that holography can add to packaging, the agency identi ied and developed six sets, each one made out of the substrates that are suitable for holography.

Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting
A book provides a strategy on combating drug counterfeiting, by C S Jeena

BOOK FACTS Pharmaceutical Anti-counterfeiting, combating the real danger from fake drugs by Mark Davison Wiley Publications; Pages 426, US $ 89.95

rug counterfeiting is not a new phenomenon for this industry. The book Pharmaceutical Counterfeiting by Mark Davison may not be the irst one to examine the menace of drug counterfeiting, but is the irst to provide a comprehensive guide on the currently available anti-counterfeiting technologies and the possible solutions to combat the problem. The author, Mark Davisonis himself a renowned pharmaceutical consultant and is currently the CEO of Blue Sphere Health Ltd. Davison has a great deal of industry experience in pharmaceutical as well as product security and hence has written this book after careful research and insight into the industry and its problems. It is very likely for the industry professionals to appreciate the authors ability on categorically addressing the issues like drug counterfeiting, current authentication and tacking technologies, future approaches and examples on drug counterfeiting from around the world. His discussions on future policy/ authentication technologies

hold a promise to be useful for policy makers and drug companies as he emphases on the need of integration of both digital and non-digital (physical and sensory) authentication methods for pharmaceutical companies. In the book he has also suggested the policy makers to think on focusing over health and patient protection rather than handling and de ining IP issues and legal de initions. The book also examines the micro and macro drives, government involvements, geographical and regional issues, and consumer behaviour along with practices in some other industries. However, it would have been even better if the author had highlighted some of industrys best practices adopted by various pharmaceutical companies besides giving a comparison of authentication technologies in terms of their strengths, weakness, usages etc. Perhaps a future edition on these pointers will do even well with the readers. For those determined to take an action against counterfeit pharmaceutical and healthcare products, will ind the book useful.
