Tamper-Evident Security Labels for Supply Chain Product Verification
Microtrace security labels combine proprietary taggant chemistries with engineered label construction to deliver trusted authentication, consistent performance, and fast field verification. Fully optimized with programmed detectors, they integrate seamlessly into your supply chain, providing high security without added complexity or cost.
Why Microtrace Security Labels
Many label-based security offerings rely on visible features, simple inks, or outsourced printing, creating vulnerabilities that counterfeiters can exploit. Microtrace eliminates these risks by developing and manufacturing both taggants and detection systems in-house.
- Proprietary taggant chemistries formulated and applied by Microtrace
- Multiple taggant technologies combined within a single label for layered security
- Label-level precision and traceability
- Tamper-evident and overt authentication features
- Seamless integration with field detectors and authentication apps
By managing every step from formulation through printing, detection, and analytics, Microtrace delivers a tightly controlled security label system engineered for real-world deployment.
Label Formats and Features
Microtrace security labels are available in multiple configurations to align with your product requirements, threat level, and budget.

Taggant Transfers
- Alternative when label application is not feasible
- Transfers deliver consistent taggant signatures directly to the product surface or existing label
- Maintains tight tolerances and eliminate printer variability and security risk
Integrated with Intelligent Packaging
Microtrace security labels can be deployed as part of the Summit™ Authentication Platform for expanded protection and market visibility. The system combines:
- Spectral Taggant™ based labels or taggant transfers and Encrypted Barcodes
- Field detection using handheld readers or mobile apps
- AI-driven classification and authentication through Alerion™
- Optional cloud-based reporting for traceability and market insights
This integration supports on-the-spot verification, counterfeit prevention, and real-time product intelligence.
Finished Labels for Tightest Control
Shipping taggant inks to contract printers introduces risks. Security inks can be diverted, and print processes and quality control often vary between facilities. Microtrace finished security labels eliminate these vulnerabilities by delivering pre-printed, pre-validated labels.
Benefits include:
- Full control over your taggant signature
- Eliminates printer-related security risks and quality variabilities
- Simple integration into packaging lines and supply chains
- Pre-configured field detectors for immediate deployment
Every Microtrace security label is engineered to perform as intended, with no weak points and no opportunities for compromise.
