MATERIAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING

More Than Film Coating.

Hanksec manufactures tamper-evident security label materials as an integrated construction — combining the printable topcoat, PET facestock, tamper-evident functional layer, pressure-sensitive adhesive and release liner. Material performance depends on these components working together through printing, converting and end use.

STEP 01

Artwork Preflight & Production Setup

Customer artwork and security-message layouts are checked for dimensions, registration, repeat consistency and production-ready file integrity before cylinder preparation.

STEP 02

Gravure Cylinder Preparation

Engraved gravure cylinders define the required security pattern or custom VOID message and support repeatable pattern transfer during printing and coating.

STEP 03

Corona Treatment & Security Pattern Printing

PET surface energy is treated where required to improve wetting and anchorage, followed by controlled printing of the security pattern or custom message for the downstream construction.

STEP 04

Tamper-Evident Functional Coating

Functional coating layers are applied to create the engineered separation and transfer behavior required for full-transfer, partial-transfer or non-transfer tamper evidence.

STEP 05

Color Layer & Vacuum Metallization

Color layers and aluminum metallization are controlled for appearance, opacity and message contrast according to the required material construction and end-use specification.

STEP 06

Printable Top Coating

Print-receptive topcoats are selected or adjusted to support ink / ribbon anchorage and downstream printing performance for the specified printing process.

STEP 07

Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Coating & Liner Lamination

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is coated and laminated with the selected release liner. The adhesive / liner combination is matched to substrate, service conditions and converting requirements.

STEP 08

In-Process Quality Monitoring

Key characteristics are monitored during and after production, including registration, appearance, adhesion, release behavior, tamper response and printing / converting performance as applicable.

STEP 09

Precision Slitting & Rewinding

Finished master rolls are slit and rewound to the required width, core and roll format while controlling edge quality, winding quality and roll consistency for downstream converting.

COMPLETE MATERIAL PROCESS
From artwork preflight and pattern engraving through coating, lamination, in-process monitoring and slitting / rewinding, each manufacturing stage contributes to the final tamper response, printability, adhesive performance and roll consistency.
SECURITY MATERIAL ARCHITECTURE

A Material System.
Built from Interdependent Layers.

Security performance depends on the interaction of the printable topcoat, PET facestock, tamper-evident functional layer, pressure-sensitive adhesive and release liner. Changing one component can change the behavior of the complete construction.

Printable Topcoat Ink / ribbon anchorage & print-process compatibility
PET Facestock Dimensional stability & mechanical converting support
Tamper-Evident Functional Layer Engineered separation & tamper-evident response
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Substrate bonding & service-condition matching
Release Liner Release-force control · die cutting · dispensing
SYSTEM ENGINEERING

Specified as one construction.

Topcoat, facestock, security layer, adhesive and liner influence one another during printing, converting and end use. Qualification should therefore evaluate the complete construction.

How Security Label Material Systems Work
CONVERTER-READY MATERIAL SUPPLY

Specified for
Your Converting Process.

Material construction and roll format can be configured around the customer's printing, converting and end-use requirements. Technical qualification should be based on the actual substrate, print process, required tamper response and roll-handling conditions — not a generic specification.

Supply Format Jumbo Roll / Slit Roll
Roll Width Project-Specific
Core / Winding Matched to Equipment Requirement
Print Process Flexo / Screen / TTR / Selected Digital
Tamper Mode Full-Transfer / Partial-Transfer / Non-Transfer
Release Liner Glassine / PET
NEXT CAPABILITY / QUALITY ASSURANCE

Manufacturing Must Be Verified by Testing.

Production control is completed by material-performance verification. Depending on the application, Hanksec evaluates adhesion, release behavior, die-cutting / matrix-stripping performance, tamper response and print durability before bulk approval or repeat production.
