About
About Counterfeiting is a major global problem ranging from luxury goods to Pharmaceuticals to aircraft parts - this technology supports anti-counterfeiting measures and provides a surface relief hologram that comprises two patterns, each sensitive to different radiation wavelengths, thereby improving security. Applicable to films, foil, credit cards, label stock or other visible authentification/ anti-counterfeiting technology the hologram can be mass manufactured using known techniques such as hot/ cold embossing, UV embossing / cast curing, injection moulding and hot stamping etc. The university offers custom designs of highly secure Hologram/ Diffractive elements to your specification. These are available on a consultancy basis on signature of a confidentiality agreement only. Key Benefits Unique optical structures - difficult to copy Provides a visual Yes/ No authentication mark Custom designs available Machine readable technology - low cost camera/image capture. Applications This optical watermark could be used where holograms are currently used. Credit cards, Luxury goods, security labels, food & drink etc. Brand protection & anti-counterfeiting Security labelling & authentication IP Status Patent applications granted in Europe, Australia and USA for a "SYNTHETIC COLOUR HOLOGRAM". The University offers a design service to companies interested in using this technology and will provide a "master element" suited to replication supported by consultancy.
