Shrink sleeves offer 360-degree branding for your products. That’s amazing from the viewpoint of an average customer who has a limited attention span. Mostly a few seconds. Also, a shrink sleeve can accommodate more information compared to a conventional label. This gives you enough freedom to experiment with colours, text, typography, security features, and even images.

 

But what if you aren’t able to find the right shrink sleeve manufacturer/supplier? Talking with your industry peers might help to an extent as few like to share the secrets of the trade. Therefore, in this blog, we will help you with the points to find the right shrink sleeve supplier/manufacturer for your products. 

 

Let’s find out…

1. Raw Material Quality

Check if your supplier is providing shrink sleeves made with premium quality PET or PVC. We will suggest you do sampling to assess the durability of the shrink sleeve. Often a poor-quality shrink sleeve shows wrinkles and bubbles after application. Chances are such sleeves also wear down in the transit.

 

Imagine your product reaching a distributor or retailer or consumer with a torn/damaged shrink sleeve. Unfortunately, such products are returned back with losses for the manufacturer.

Always look for security features in the shrink sleeve. It can be holography, tamper evidence, or even digital technology entirely depending on your supply chain and product specifications.

 

We suggest you use a combination of security features to reduce the chances of counterfeiting and tampering. Even the smartest criminals won’t dare to touch your packaging with well-crafted and integrated security elements.

3. Visually Appealing Features

Your product must look stunning to the customers. Isn’t it? Our eyes always look for visually appealing or aesthetic features in packaging. Perhaps, our brains are wired like that. Check if your supplier can provide a variety of optical, ink-based, or graphic features in the shrink sleeve.

 

The right interplay of different graphic elements will accentuate your brand image. People look for exclusivity so serve them what they need.

4. Integration with digital features

The power to monitor and manage your supply chain at the touch of a button is simply amazing. Check if your supplier has the capability to provide multiple supply chain functions. This can include product authentication, tracking, or even reward management.

Moreover, this anti-counterfeit packaging not only takes your product security to a whole new level but also increases your revenue manifold.

 

Let us dig deeper and learn more about hologram security stickers and how these safeguard your products.

 

How Do Security Holograms Safeguard Your Product from Counterfeiting and Tampering?

 

Some crucial factors that encourage counterfeiting of products can be frail regional law enforcement, vulnerable supply chain mechanism, increased industrialization, enhanced consumerism, clement criminal penalties, etc. Therefore, holographic packaging technology is used as one of the most common and effective weapons against counterfeiters. In layman’s language holograms are 3D shimmering stickers curated via advanced technology used in industrial packaging to safeguard your products.

 

Wondering how do holograms perform against counterfeiters? Well, these holographic stickers are equipped with nano-optical technology. These holograms are embedded with nano features that are extremely small. Counterfeiters or criminals cannot copy such highly intricate and small patterns even with advanced machines.

 

Benefits of Incorporating 3D Hologram Security Stickers for Your Supply Chain

 

1. Easy Identification of Your products in the supply chain

Products affixed with holograms can be distinguished from duplicate ones. Therefore, equipping a customized hologram sticker for your brand can help your consumers instantly know the originality or authenticity of your products.

 

2. Keeps counterfeiters at bay

One of the reasons hologram security stickers provide robust protection is because these are relatively easy to recognize but quite difficult to replicate. It is because counterfeiters would need access to the master hologram and technologically advanced equipment to copy holograms. Therefore, the chances of counterfeiting are reduced to zero.

 

3. Prevents chances of tampering and adulteration 

Holographic stickers can be incorporated with tamper-evident technology, which means they are self-destructive and break apart when counterfeiters try to replace them. It helps supply chain stakeholders recognize any attempt of alteration with the product & its packaging.

 

4. Help digitize supply chains 

Holograms can be equipped with digital security features. For example, the hologram sticker can be printed with barcodes that provide an efficient way to track and trace your products throughout the supply chain.

If you are a pharma manufacturer struggling with fake products, poor sales, and supply chain visibility then you can relate to this blog. We’ve written this blog based on the numerous feedback we have received from our anti-counterfeit experts. It will help you gain an insight into your general challenges & assess feasible solutions to drive your business growth.

 

Let’s suppose Mr. Harish Sharma is an owner of a pharma company that is drastically losing product sales due to counterfeiting. A reputed entrepreneur, Mr. Sharma had invested a huge corpus in his pharma business. Eventually, the launch happened, and the company’s cough syrup was rolled out. In the next few quarters, the sales soared up across India.

 

However, after two years, fake replicas of the syrup bottle flooded the market. The sales and brand reputation took a hit badly. Are you facing a similar situation? Stressed and confused Mr. Sharma sought the help of the police. But it was only a temporary relief. Counterfeit drugs were traced back to multiple locations. It was not practical to raid every single shipment. Moreover, the cost of litigation was adding up. This is the story of many pharma manufacturers who struggle with counterfeiting and tampering. But, with a reliable brand protection partner, they can select the right packaging, prevent counterfeiting and grow their business.

 

If you also looking for the right brand protection then we can surely help you, but before that let’s see how Mr. Sharma found a solution to his problem.

 

 In India, Pharma is among the top 5 sectors most affected by fake products (Source: ASPA)

 

Fortunately, one day while surfing the web, Mr. Sharma stumbled across our smart anti-counterfeit packaging. Without further ado, he got in touch with our experts. Our experts thoroughly assessed the product packaging and the company’s supply chain for gaps. Can you guess what were those gaps? Our anti-counterfeit experts identified three key gaps/problems in the packaging and supply chain.

 

Problem 1-The manufacturer was using generic labels for branding purposes. 

Problem 2-There was no means for product authentication in the supply chain.

Problem 3-There was no mechanism to ensure real-time inventory visibility.

 

After identifying the problems, it was time for our experts to get into action! Our experts suggested customized solutions to overcome these challenges. Let’s dig in to know how we helped Mr. Sharma.

We replaced the generic label with a holographic security label for uncompromised security

We provided custom labels with a holographic security strip. Holographic strip with all the intricate patterns, channel effects, raster images etc., cannot be copied by counterfeiters. Criminals can’t afford sophisticated hologram origination technology. Holography cannot be photocopied or replicated by even advanced photocopy machines. Holography is purely optical technology and does not entail any form of reprography. Also, with nano-optical holography, we have taken anti-counterfeit technology to the next level. How? As the name suggests nano optic holograms have security features that are at the nanoscale- unbelievably small. Isn’t it? Imagine your pharma labels with nano-optical holographic strips. Will anyone attempt to copy it. The answer is no!

We fused two levels of authentication in the bottle label- that’s the power of ‘phygital’ (physical + digital)

At Holostik we believe that counterfeiters cannot breach multiple levels of security. That’s why we combined physical and digital technology in the labels. While the holographic security strip served as a physical security device to determine the product’s genuineness, the variable barcode ensured real-time product authentication.

We provided custom inventory software for increasing complete supply chain visibility

We deeply understand the supply chain challenges of our customers. It’s not just limited to duplication and extends beyond to poor product traceability, weak inventory management, low customer retention. Our team of software engineers understood the supply chain architecture and gaps before developing a custom digital solution for the pharma company. Our barcode-enabled digital inventory solution helped the Pharma company track every single item in the supply chain. It resulted in the prevention of raw material wastage and product diversions. All this summed up to a healthy supply chain and flourishing business.

In India, the liquor industry has been the major revenue contributor in most states. The industry is one of the prime sources of excise collection for most of the states in the country. Reportedly, taxes on liquor and beer bring in nearly INR 90,000 crores to state governments annually. 

 

Now we see that the excise collection is a matter of hundreds of billions & arming the revenue stamps with the latest security features is a must. Even plans for new holographic tax stamps in Asia have showcased how holograms have been instrumental in securing alcohol excise revenues globally.

 

“Tax stamps with holography and digital authetication are effective in preventing tampering, adulteration and poor inventory managemnet finally leading to optimized excise collection”

 

In 2020, Goa and Rajasthan announced a new excise policy for 2020-21, featuring holographic tax stamps to prevent counterfeits and protect liquor revenues. Even the IHMA (International Hologram Manufacturer Association) highlighted these moves made by the state governments. Enabling revenue stamps with nano-optical holograms make the excise collection process simplistic, and now the state governments have begun to realize the potential of holographic tax stamps.

 

Let’s figure out the importance of holography in digital tax stamps.

 

Understanding the Concept of Holography in Revenue Stamps:

 

One of the significant aims of nano-optic holograms is to ensure completely secured stamps that cannot be fabricated under any circumstances. The holograms in tax stamps ensure that the level of security is par excellence, and none can indulge in tampering with it. Often there are fraudulent activities that can duplicate the stamps, which often leads to tax evasion. However, this factor can be taken special care of with the nano-optical holograms!

 

Revenue stamps without holograms are prone to mishaps. It is one of the primary reasons state excise authorities and government organizations must consider employing a solution like holograms along with QR codes. Over the years, this system has been developed more so that there is absolutely no scope for tampering. Moreover, the holograms in tax stamps make inventory management easier with the digital tracking feature.

 

Why Is It Important to Depend on Reliable Names for Hologram Enabled Revenue Stamps?

 

Now that we have already understood what revenue stamps are and the need for equipping these with holographic solutions, it is also imperative to analyze why you need to depend on professionals and reputable names in the industry. The first reason for this is that the quality of tax stamps cannot be compromised. If enforcement agencies choose to do so, the innate requirement of high security will not be fulfilled. Hence, it is essential to depend on professional revenue stamp manufacturers who know precisely how to go about the process.

 

The following important factor to keep in mind is applicability. Holostik has been in this domain for years and can develop promising counterfeiting-proof digital tax stamps to simplify and rationalize the excise collection. The primary goal of the revenue stamps is to ensure hassle-free excise collection and avoid tampering. A reliable solution provider will always pay special attention to this factor.

Are you stuck with finding the right hot stamping foil supplier for your products? No wonder, stamping foils with all the packaging technicalities can bring a lot of confusion. But don’t worry, as we bring forth the much-needed do’s and don’ts shared by our hot stamping foil experts to simplify your decision-making. Before, sharing the points let’s discuss a bit about hot stamping foils and their uses, especially for packaging professionals dealing with such foils for the first time.

 

Hot stamping is the process of using heat & pressure to apply metallic or holographic foil on materials like paper boards, papers, laminated boards, & corrugated boxes. The stamping process is durable, cost-effective, and flexible. Due to its many features, hot foil stamping is being used in different industries.

 

Lately, the process is being used on a wide range of products to give a decorative look and provide anti-counterfeiting features. Some of the industries where hot foil stamping is used include luxury goods packaging, tobacco, pharma, food, and apparel. Foil stamping is also used in gift wrapping, wedding invitations, and  many other applications.

 

In the hot foil stamping process a heated die forces the foil against a substrate which is held firm by a counter cylinder. The double combination of pressure and heat activates the adhesive lining, and the foil attaches to the substrate

Until now you might have understood the basics of a hot stamping foil, now let’s discuss the do’s and don’ts.

Do’s

-Look for stamping foils with holography. This ensures that your product and packaging remain safe from duplication. Counterfeiters find it really tough to copy holography as it requires sophisticated origination machines and a rigorous process.

 

-Do check for the visual appeal. Yes, stamping foils must have aesthetic and appealing elements to make your products look attractive. Look for good designs, patterns, and optical effects.

 

-Stamping foils with two side-scan marks are always better than those with just one. Scan marks help with the uniform and accurate application of the foil on the application.

 

-Check the background of your stamping foil supplier. Now, this is the most important aspect. Overlooking your supplier’s background and reputation can land you in trouble.

 

-Is the price cost-effective? Pricing plays an important role. Plan with procurement & packaging managers on the budget assigned for packaging. Don’t go for too pricey and or too cheap foils.

Don’ts

-Never finalize your supplier without the sampling process. Overlooking this step can result in a waste of your time, efforts, and investment.

 

-Don’t compromise with foil quality. You or your procurement manager must always check the durability factor in the foils.

 

-Don’t buy foils that can’t be customized as per the stamping machine available with you or your packaging partner.

 

-Never finalize the deal with a foil supplier that can’t fulfill your customized requirements.

 

-Don’t go for suppliers that have a bad market reputation when it comes to meeting delivery deadlines.

 

So, these are the major points that you must adhere to while finalizing your holographic hot stamping foil supplier.
