Security and printing are closely integrated (on)

First, the type and characteristics of anti-counterfeiting technology Anti-counterfeiting technology can be classified according to its attributes from different perspectives. Security function can be divided into fidelity security, identification false security; according to the scope of use can be divided into public security, professional security, special security; according to the application object can be divided into product security, packaging security, trademark security, security securities, documents and Anti-counterfeit documents, seal anti-counterfeit; according to the subject Mulberry into physical security, chemical security, biological security, multi-disciplinary integrated security; the following we mainly talk about the field of application of the classification of anti-counterfeiting technology types and characteristics.
1, product security. Product manufacturers adopt top-secret formulas or technical methods and production techniques in the design and manufacturing process of their products, making it difficult for their key technologies to be copied by others; or they have unique features or designs in the overall structure, shape, and design of internal packaging. Not easily imitated. General product anti-counterfeiting uses more high-tech products and has a huge investment in exclusive equipment.
2, identification security. Attaches to the product a distinctive logo that is easily discernible by the public to distinguish between true and false, including anti-counterfeit trademarks and anti-counterfeiting labels. This kind of anti-counterfeiting technology has a wide range of applications. Apart from general commodities, it also includes banknotes, stocks, money orders, cheques, lottery tickets, credit cards, etc., as well as various economic contracts, bills, etc. It is both easy to publicly identify and easy to copy. On the one hand, it is the top priority in the current anti-counterfeiting technology work.
3, information security. This is a preventive measure to protect real information and its carriers from interference, counterfeiting and counterfeiting, such as telegram passwords, anti-jamming in communication technology, encryption of information in computers, and anti-piracy measures in various audio and video products.
With the development of China's market economy and the increasing development of commodity production, the packaging of goods and trademark printing are increasingly developing in the direction of high-grade, exquisite, and safe. In particular, the market demand for trademark packaging and anti-counterfeiting for cigarettes, wine, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and foods, etc. The potential for development is huge.
Second, printing companies to participate in anti-counterfeit printing At present, the most widely used anti-counterfeiting technology almost can not be separated from printing, so the printing company to carry out anti-counterfeiting is necessary. In order to promote the combination of anti-counterfeiting technology and printing technology, the Special Printing Professional Committee of the China Anti-counterfeiting Industry Association was established in 1997. The purpose of this committee is to promote the combination of anti-counterfeiting technology and printing technology, and to carry out anti-counterfeiting work. It recommends high-tech, safe and reliable anti-counterfeiting technology, anti-counterfeit materials and special printing methods for users, and undertakes a series of anti-counterfeit designs for product trademarks and packaging. Production.
In recent years, due to the intensified market competition, many large and medium-sized enterprises in the printing industry have experienced varying degrees of market shrinkage, insufficient tasks, and idle equipment. As a result, they are actively requesting participation in anti-counterfeit printing, exploring new areas, and finding new growth points. .
First of all, printing companies must undertake anti-counterfeit printing work, must pass the China Anti-counterfeiting Industry Association's qualification certification, that is, the Association must organize experts to assess the company's technology, equipment, and how to assess whether it meets the basic conditions for anti-counterfeiting printing fixed-point enterprises. And according to the provisions of the anti-counterfeiting product management regulations, enterprises are issued production licenses.
Secondly, printing companies must understand the development of anti-counterfeiting technology, the types and characteristics of anti-counterfeit technologies, and their requirements for printing processes and equipment. In combination with the company's own situation, they should see which type of anti-counterfeiting printing tasks they can undertake and place themselves in the seat. The status quo and development trend of security printing materials must also be grasped. For example, the traditional anti-counterfeit paper should be the first to watermark paper, that is, in the papermaking process, the required marks, patterns, etc., are made into paper by means of technology; in the papermaking process, a certain proportion of colored fibers or fluorescent fibers can also be added. , Strictly control the formula; In addition, metal wires can be buried in the paper. For example, the new US dollar has not only metal wires, but also miniature text on metal wires, which can be seen with high magnification magnifiers. At present, Gujing Distillery in China and Beijing Erguotou liquor have adopted this type of anti-counterfeit paper, and there are no instances of forgery. Anti-counterfeiting papers have certain requirements for printing processes and equipment.
Third, China's anti-counterfeit industry, the status quo, existing problems and development prospects 1, the current situation According to preliminary statistics, there are nearly 1,000 domestic enterprises and institutions engaged in child technology and product research, production and sales, the annual value of products for children (excluding the yuan Special industries such as certificates and certificates have risen from tens of millions of yuan in the early 1980s to nearly 10 billion yuan at present. The demand for the defense technology products of our country is large and the development speed is very fast.
