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.

Anti-counterfeit structure

Packaging security features

Card material and packaging structure, security design and printing, holograms and embossing, and links to product information form this structure. Their coordination can make signs of tampering easier to inspect; no single feature guarantees authenticity.

01
Card and packaging structure
Coloured and fluorescent fibres in security paper are visible under UV light while the paper itself has no unusual reflection. After pressing, embossing and lamination, opening the packaging can damage its structure and reveal signs of tampering.
02
Security printing and features
Security printing can include complex designs, dedicated patterns, security inks and colours, inspectable effects and holograms. Some features can be checked with light, heat, viewing angle or specified tools and are harder to reproduce with ordinary printing.
03
Identification and product information
The card identifier, and NFC where included in the structure, provide routes to product information. This information should be compared with the product details and the packaging’s physical condition.

Packaging structure

Packaging structure and assembly

In lamination, the card and product sit between packaging layers. Layer shape, product placement and the bonding method are coordinated with the packaging structure. Lamination alone does not guarantee prevention of opening, tampering or counterfeiting.

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.
