Can an anti-counterfeit card be produced on ordinary cardboard?

Yes. Some security design and printing features can also be applied to ordinary cardboard, including laminate embossing, UV effects, security colours and inks, holograms and access to the authenticity platform. ImenGold recommends using the complete set of security components: combining security paper, anti-counterfeit printing, a security hologram, embossing and a security passport creates a more complete and reliable anti-counterfeit structure.

Can an initial packaging design be supplied?

Yes. An initial design can serve as the starting point for ImenGold’s design team. It is reviewed for security printing and features, and some parts may need adjustment.

Can gold or silver foil stamping be applied to the packaging?

Yes. Gold and silver foil stamping can be applied to the paper or laminate. Placement and application are determined by the packaging design and material.

What is the card’s security passport for?

The security passport is a guide to checking the card’s authenticity features. It explains the features and how to inspect them, allowing buyers or sellers to compare the marks on the card with its reference.

Packaging security features

Card structure, security printing, security holograms, embossing and an identifier linked to product information are inspectable layers of this packaging. Their combination is determined for each order; no single layer establishes product authenticity or metal purity.

01
Card and packaging structure
Where security paper is used, coloured fibres and fluorescent marks are among its inspectable features; checking fluorescent marks requires UV light. The effect of opening also depends on the layers and joining method of that structure.
02
Security printing and features
Security printing can add custom designs, inks and inspectable effects to a card. Some features do not reproduce in a copy or scan, helping distinguish a reproduced image. Depending on the order, a security hologram is a separate layer with visible signs or a destructive effect when removed. The guide for each card specifies how to inspect its features, whether by viewing angle, light or a particular tool.
03
Identification and product information
The card identifier, and NFC where the card includes it, provide access to the lookup result. Buyers should compare the details printed on the packaging with the information shown in that result. The trade business responsible for packaging is responsible for confirming the metal's purity. ImenGold works only with verified gold-industry businesses and displays the details of the business responsible for packaging in the lookup result.

Packaging structure

Lamination and bonding of packaging layers

In a laminated structure, the layers and product placement are aligned with the card design. The joining method and final checks are set for each order; whether tampering becomes visible depends on the design and execution quality of that structure.

This product family was previously introduced as “Hard Lamination Packaging”. The final layer structure and joining method are aligned with the product and equipment.

01
Prepare the layers
Layer shapes and item placement are prepared according to the packaging design.
02
Bonding and quality control
The layers are bonded using a suitable method; layer bonding, product placement and the final appearance are inspected.
