High memory capacity of the material, absolute fraud
resistance and a wide variety of features that can be directly
placed onto the product at simultaneously top cost efficiency – the
many advantages of the new Holospot®-Technology considerably
contribute to the successful development of the new business field
of safety applications for product and trade mark protection. In
2005 tesa has generated a turnover of 5 million € with these
products already. At this time several big customers are using
the technology developed by tesa scribos GmbH like Siemens VDO,
a manufacturer of automotive spare parts. By means of various technologically
new developments and a customer specific trade mark protection
strategy tesa scribos continues to expand the application potential
even further.
Low energy surfaces like packaging materials made of polyethylene
and polypropylene decrease the bonding strength between the safety
label and the merchandise. The consequence: safety labels can
be manipulated or removed more easily. With a technically completely
new developed adhesive coating the tesa Holospot® system
now offers strong holding power even on such type of critical
surfaces. An improved protection against manipulation, the so
called “tamper-evident effect” ensures that any attempt
to manipulate the Holospot® label becomes prominently and
permanently visible. This increases safety and application options
of the Holospot®-system.
The principle items of the Holospot®-system are the open
and covert features on several levels. For the particularly simple
reading of covertly stored data by means of PCs or notebooks
already available at the customers side tesa scribos developed
a new generation of reading devices. Furthermore, the conspicuity
of the openly visible features was increased. A newly developed
black-silver polymer material as well as 45 % enlarged lettering
allow for even better checking of the alphanumerical bar codes
with the naked eye. In this way it becomes possible to verify
the code on the Holospot® simply and efficiently by visual
inspection or by means of data comparison. Additional advantages
are: the good visibility of the serial number offers the option
to easily distinguish originals from fakes even to consumers
and constitutes an additional deterrent for product pirates.
Additionally, the Holospot® can be imprinted in various colours
and can thus be perfectly integrated into the user’s product
or packaging design.
The problem of counterfeiting is increasingly expanding also
in direction of comparatively cheap mass produced consumer goods.
Experts see the reason in the increasing professionalism of the
counterfeiters allowing them to efficiently falsify even this
type of merchandise. For an ever increasing number of companies
the active fight against fakes is growing in existential importance.
Enterprises equipping their merchandise with innovative fake
protection are at the same time generating a distinct competitive
advantage. Therefore, a new consulting concept for customers
forms the focal point of tesa scribos GmbH paving the way from
merely reactive towards a proactive and comprehensive trade mark
protection as an integral part of brand management. Based on
the wide Holospot® technology platform tesa scribos offers
the complete development of customized protection systems. The
strategy starts with precise definition of the objectives as
well as the technological requirements and their role at the
customer. Moreover, tesa scribos elaborates concepts for the
operational implementation, the investigation and legal prosecution
of counterfeiters.
