Novelty Inks
Create interesting and dynamic packaging and products with Microtrace Novelty Inks.
Create higher engagement with your customers
On their own, Novelty Inks aren’t a security feature, but a way to create higher engagement with your customers. Choose from a variety of options to achieve unique visual effects with:
Thermochromatic and Photochromatic options
Microtrace Thermochromatic Ink changes color when exposed to different temperatures. It’s commonly used for toys, beverage cans and packaging. Microtrace Photochromatic Ink changes color with light, and is commonly used for packaging.
Since the color change is visible to the human eye—no reader or detector is needed—Thermochromatic and Photochromatic Inks often benefit your end consumer.
UV / IR Ink
This Microtrace security ink changes color when exposed to UV light or a laser pen’s IR light. Take your pick from several available—including non-traditional—color combinations, including the option to add after-glow material. If security isn’t a real threat and you need a quick, easy and visible response, Microtrace UV / IR Inks are easy to implement and use with inexpensive readers.
