The need for
security can often be addressed with a label. The alarming increase
in product counterfeiting and/or tampering has affected the profits
and reputations of a number of reputable manufacturers. To attack
this problem, many manufacturers of various products are turning to
pressure sensitive label security systems for their protection (i.e.
holograms, void labels.). A few examples are outlined in the table
below:
