On Christmas day, a bottle of perfume waits under the Christmas tree. But unfortunately, its scent is somewhat off and it causes a skin burn. The product is a fake. To protect distributors and consumers from such nasty surprises, Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG has developed a new security ink.
The new ink by Paul Leibinger GmbH (leibinger-group.com) looks like a classic black ink, but under a special UV-light, tiny fluorescent pigments begin to glow greenish. If the distributor shines a UV-flashlight onto the product packaging, he can identify whether the product is an original. If the font remains black, the user can immediately remove the pirated product from circulation.
