MetallicSafe
"Anti-Copy
Message"
U.S.
Patent 5,704,651
The "MetallicSafe" process
is one that totally protects the product from scanning or photocopying.
This patented feature works on the basis that a highly reflective
metallic image, number or message is hot stamped over the top of
a printed scrambled
background with similar graphics as the metallic message. When
the product is scanned, photo or color copied, the highly reflective
metallic
image turns predominantly black, causing the image or message
to disappear into the background.
Verification
is simple and very obvious. Tip the MetallicSafe area
towards light and if you can't verify the message or number, then it's
a counterfeit.
