The Application of Founder Superwire in Packaging Anti-counterfeiting

Anti-counterfeit shading is an anti-counterfeiting printing technology with the lowest cost and excellent anti-counterfeiting effect. The main feature of the shading security is the complete use of lines for anti-counterfeiting, and can produce a rich variety of changes. Anti-counterfeiting design is completed in the plate making process, realized in printing, without additional production costs, high security performance, and general general software can not The effects of such lines can be replicated, and various techniques such as optics, spectroscopy, and printing techniques can be used to realize various anti-counterfeiting application technologies such as refraction, unlocking, and latent images together with shading anti-counterfeiting software.

Founder HyperLine is a professional security shading design and production software. Fangzheng Superline Security Shading Security System belongs to the plate-making anti-counterfeiting. It is a shading design system independently researched and developed by Peking University Founder. It is mainly used for anti-fake packaging, anti-counterfeit trademarks, and The output of securities, handicraft refraction processing and anti-counterfeiting plates, etc., whose output follows the international standard Postscript, applies to a variety of RIP.

After the launch of Founder Super Line, it has received a lot of attention from packaging and printing companies. However, there are still some doubts about the actual production of the packaging and printing companies, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1. Is the Founder Ultra line compatible with the design software currently used by packaging and printing companies?

At present, some packaging and printing companies use security shading design software, but the use of results is not very good, the reason is very simple, because the design software used in packaging printing design is generally Illustrator, CorelDraw, FreeHand, and has been combined with the printing process is very good , And use security shading design software, and these software can not be well compatible, such as the use of security shading design software design results can not be in Illustrator, CorelDraw, FreeHand these software to modify, fill color, trapping (tap White) and other work.

The Founder SuperLine software can directly generate AI files that support PC and Apple platforms, and can be directly opened with software such as Illustrator, CorelDraw, and FreeHand, and can be modified, filled, trapped (trap), etc.

Second, whether the safety shading designed by the Founder Ultrawire will affect the design style of the box?

Shading or other security elements will not affect the overall design style of the box for the following reasons:

1. Anti-counterfeiting elements, such as the use of flowers, latent images, and miniature text on the packaging box are generally localized, such as the lid portion of the kit, which does not affect the overall style of the design.

2. The color of shading printing is generally lighter. If you do not look it out carefully, it will not affect the beauty of the whole box. The depth of color can be set according to the difference between the human eye and the scanner's ability to distinguish colors, so that the scanner can't scan out, but the human eye can distinguish.

3. Effects such as embossing, refraction, and lace are equal to the designer's new design elements. Matching with the traditional design of the box can provide more design ideas, achieving beautiful, eye-catching, easy to understand and anti-counterfeit effect.

Third, the current security shading elements commonly used in packaging and printing, why can achieve security?

Anti-forgery shading elements commonly used in packaging and printing include flower buds, curve reliefs, image reliefs, laces, latent images, microtext, shading, wide line curve simulation images, refraction, and graphic filters. The security shark anti-counterfeiting function can be understood as:

1. Prevent imitation. On the one hand, it is difficult for a copy maker to produce similar effects by using plain software in the finished product. On the other hand, it is difficult to copy even if the same software is used.

The most commonly used line in the Fangzheng Superline Safety Shading Design System is a sinusoidal line, and sine lines are difficult to draw by hand using general-purpose software, while the cluster flowers, curve reliefs, laces, and image reliefs provided in the Foundry Ultra Line are difficult to draw. Many functions, such as lines and lines with varying thickness, and simulated images of curves, are difficult to accomplish using other software. Cluster flowers, laces, etc. have a great deal of randomness in production. Even if you use the same software, it is difficult to make exactly the same.

The functions of image relief and curvilinear simulation of images represent the effect of a line description on the finished product. Without the original image, it is impossible to make such an effect, and it is impossible to scan it (see Subsequent anti-scanning part).

2. Anti-scan. The use of modern ultra-high-accuracy (over 5000 dpi optical resolution) scanners or photoengraving equipment also fails to reproduce the lines of the print. The works of the security shading design itself have the function of anti-scanning, the reason is very simple, the scanning generated must have a dot image, and the security shading is composed of lines. Although the top scanner has a function of scanning lines, it can copy a common line print, but if analyzed carefully, this top scanner also has some limitations, namely: 1) can not identify color lines, only identify Single black lines; 2) Lines with varying thickness cannot be identified, only lines of uniform width can be identified; 3) Lines and dots cannot be identified at the same time.

Lines of variable thickness produced by the Founder HyperLine are difficult to scan with a scanner, especially when describing the image information with such a line, it is even less likely to be copied, and the lines and dots are purposely aligned during the production process. Together (making skills), setting different color lines, etc. are impossible to scan.

In addition, the design of the Founder Super Line, together with some special techniques and techniques on the printing, cannot be scanned at all, such as refractive effects, rainbow printing, unlocked security, and so on.

The security shading elements designed by Founder Ultraline can be used to:

1) Anti-counterfeit security design and manufacturing of product packaging;

2) Anti-counterfeiting of inner product packaging: such as back cover, cover, insert, etc.;

3) Product contents anti-counterfeiting; such as licenses, certificates, customer service cards, genuine certificates, envelopes, stationery, etc.;

4) The safety design and use of sealing seals for product packaging.

IV. How to print anti-counterfeit products designed by Founder Ultrawire?

For general anti-counterfeit packaging products, any offset or gravure printing can be used. Just set the appropriate line width and line spacing in the security shading design software according to the accuracy of the image-setter. Others are consistent with normal printing, that is, lines with wide line widths and spot color lines can be printed; Offset printing can also exhibit some effects, but using gravure will be better.

If there is a special anti-counterfeiting requirement, it is necessary to combine the printing process with the design of the Fang Zheng Chao line. Here are some examples:

1. Printed color gradient lines using special printing - rainbow printing process (four-color printing there will be inaccurate problems). It is based on the printing product requirements, placed in the ink tank separator, and then put a variety of hue ink in different partitions. Under the action of the squeezing roller, the adjacent ink is mixed and transferred to the printing plate. With this printing process, multiple colors can be printed at one time and the middle transition is soft. Since it is difficult to see the distance of the slot spacers from the prints, copying is also very difficult, so it can also play a certain anti-counterfeiting effect. If such a process is applied to large-area shading printing, its anti-counterfeiting effect will be more prominent.

2. Refraction effect. Nowadays, many cigarette packs are designed with a dioptric design. The dioptric effect is generally embossed. First, the embossed lines are generated by the Founder superwire, and the metal plate is formed by physical or chemical action. The silver cardboard box, combined with its own color and luster, formed a dioptric effect. Now the latest printing process can achieve the refraction effect through screen printing.

3 unlock security. Unlocking anti-counterfeiting is completely designed by Fang Zhengchao and completed by ordinary printing. Two corresponding line drafts must be designed in the production. One is the “lock” used for printing and the other is the “key to unlock”. "" It is usually a diaphragm or a line carved on plexiglass.

Fifth, the use of anti-counterfeiting software for packaging and printing companies can bring what benefits?

1. Anti-counterfeit packaging is a development direction of modern packaging and printing companies. Because of the fierce economic and social competition in modern commodities, criminals are driven by the interests and have faked hot products. Counterfeiting has become a major public hazard. For users of packaging and printing companies, how to ensure that their products are not being counterfeited depends more on packaging and printing companies with anti-counterfeiting packaging design capabilities.

2. Packaging plus security is a way to effectively maintain customer relationships and stabilize living sources, and it can bring many new business opportunities. For packing and printing companies, the shading anti-counterfeiting provided by Fang Zhengchao line is low in cost, good in effect, conforms to the principle of packaging aesthetics, and adds less cost, but there is an effective anti-counterfeiting measure.

3. Anti-counterfeit printing is a very effective means to increase the added value of products, and it can also expand certain special printing businesses for packaging and printing companies. In the printing industry, the most profitable one belongs to security printing. There are more and more products using security shading design technology, such as cheques, tax stamps, passbooks, passports, certificates, etc. Therefore, the application of security printing will continue to expand and expand.
