Power of Security Labels: How They Work and Their Benefits

In our previous articles, we covered the basics of security labels and their manufacturing process. In this part, we’ll explore how these labels work and the benefits they offer.

How do Security Labels Work?

While the functionality of security labels varies depending on their design and the technology they incorporate, the fundamental principles that underlie the working of all security labels are the same.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the basic, common working mechanism of security labels:

Application: The security label is applied to the product or packaging. This step involves choosing the right type of label that suits the surface material and environmental conditions the product will be exposed to.

Activation: Activation is a crucial step for certain types of security labels, especially those involving electronic tracking or digital verification (like RFID or QR codes). This involves programming the label with specific information or linking it to a database for tracking and authentication purposes.

Detection: When an attempt is made to access the product or information, the security label detects this interaction. This detection is a physical change in the label’s appearance for tamper-evident labels.

Response: Upon detection of tampering or unauthorised access, the label responds according to its design. Tamper-evident labels might leave a “VOID” message or show visible signs of damage.

Benefits of Security labels

Security labels offer several key advantages, from safeguarding against tampering to ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. Below are some advantages of security labels.

• Protection Against Tampering                  
• Authenticity Verification
