High-security labels and hologram stickers used to prevent counterfeit products.

What Are Security Labels Stickers?

Security labels stickers are tamper-evident, high-security adhesive labels that serve as security seals or indicators of product authenticity. They include special visual or digital aspects such as:

  • 3D/2D holograms
  • QR codes
  • Serial numbers and barcodes
  • UV printing
  • Micro text
  • Hidden images
  • Tamper-evident technology

These characteristics renders the label extremely difficult to reproduce by counterfeiters.


How Security Labels Prevent Counterfeiting

Immediate Visual Authentication with Security Hologram Labels

Security Hologram Stickers are one of the most effective anti counterfeit tools because they provide instant authentication. They use laser-generated holographic images that are difficult to copy.

Features include:

  • Multi-layer holographic depth
  • Rainbow or metallic shine
  • Kinetic movement effects
  • Micro-text and nano patterns

Such complex designs can only be manufactured by professional hologram manufacturers which puts the brands in a comfortable lead over counterfeiters.


Tamper-Evident Technology

Tamper-evidence is a key feature of security labels stickers. Knocking the label can leave a variety of visible damages, including:

  • Void marks
  • Broken patterns
  • Fragmentation

This informs consumers and retailers immediately. Tamper proof properties also deter counterfeiters, as the seal cannot be resealed if once broken.


Barcode Holograms as Special Product Authentication Means

Each product has to have its own individuality.

A barcode hologram makes it easy for brands to keep tabs on and ensure the authenticity of an item via:

  • Serial numbers
  • Batch numbers
  • Manufacturing and expiry details
  • Supply chain tracking

This is particularly convenient for drugs, FMCG items and electronics.


Intelligent Digital Authentication Featuring Hologram QR Code

Digital authentication is the need of the hour in 2025. A hologram QR code is a product containing a scannable QR code embedded in the hologram label. This ensures:

  • Secure digital verification
  • Instant consumer authentication
  • Transparency in supply chain
  • Real-time tracking of product movement

  • 3D holographic security
  • Dynamic QR code technology

  • The QR code is scannable by consumers, shop keepers or law enforcers
  • The hologram provides non-replicable visual security
  • Would-be counterfeiters can’t reproduce them both perfectly

This combination of 2 authentications provides the most secure protection for high value and sensitive product.


Difficult for Counterfeiters to Replicate

  • High-end laser technology
  • Optical embossing
  • Micro-engraving
  • UV ink
  • Latent image encoding

These operations involve complex machinery and technical knowledge that virtually preclude a counterfeiter from attempting to manufacture a similar copy.
