Machine-readable counterfeit
protection system

For document protection (currency, credit cards, checks, transit tickets, stocks, passports), ink containing the security feature can be printed directly onto the document. For merchandise protection (apparel and accessories, electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, electronic parts, jewelry and cosmetics, sporting goods), the ink can be printed as part of a security label or packaging material. Bsecure also manufactures security tapes for authentication and for tamper-proofing evidence.
