Abstract: A label construction including a substrate has a first and second opposite side. The substrate includes a layer of microporous film and a layer of elastomeric film. The layer of microporous film and the layer of elastomeric film are laminated together. The label construction further includes one or more layers of functional materials disposed on either or both of the first and second sides of the substrate.

Abstract: A method including generating first images and/or text on a plurality of items, printing a plurality of unique identifiers, each unique identifier being printed over the images and/or text on a corresponding one of the plurality of items, capturing a plurality of second images, each second image including a corresponding one of the plurality of unique identifiers, and storing the captured plurality of second images in a computer readable memory.

Abstract: A composite tag comprises a woven fabric substrate having a surface, a smooth, pliable urethane coating disposed on the surface of the substrate, a pressure or heat sensitive adhesive disposed on the urethane coating, and a face stock disposed on the adhesive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a security device for resisting counterfeiting and verifying the authenticity of an article and, more particularly, to a nanoparticle containing coating composition applied thereon to produce a reflective layer for use with diffractive security devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a secure indicator label device for use on an article or container which includes a visual indicator, tamper-evident and/or anti-counterfeit features. Also provided are methods for indicating whether an article or the contents of a container have been exposed to a particular environment and a method for reducing the likelihood of improper re-use of a single-use article or container.

Abstract: The tamperproof window securable informational article includes a first side for facing said window and a second side for facing away from said window. A low wet-strength paper layer which will resist removal of said article as a unit when the paper layer has been soaked with a liquid is provided. Standard information and custom information may be interposed between an adhesive layer for securing the article to the window and an optically variable device. A first partially liquid permeable layer is disposed rearwardly of the low wet-strength paper layer. In a preferred embodiment the optically variable device is a hologram and zones of different adhesive and release properties are interposed between the optically variable device and the paper layer to resist removal of the article as a unit.
