Holographic Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions Using Photocurable Polymers

Abstract

The recent increase in parallel trading and internet commercial shopping, counterfeiting has also expanded in developed nations such as the US and countries in Europe. The counterfeit products have taken the threat on the company's brand image and sales. Thus, the requirement for anti-counterfeiting solutions to protect the company's products is in the attention. Various technologies have been developed to prevent counterfeiting, from overt to forensics and even QR code and RFID, but there are still having limitations in that the production period and unit costs increase as the applied technology becomes more complex. To solve this problem, we developed anti-counterfeiting hologram products using photocurable polymers to solve problems of production period and unit price of existing products, as well as a solution t immediately respond to counterfeiting products by reflecting customized designs in real time.
