Introduction
As one of the major categories of anti-counterfeiting technology products, holographic anti-counterfeiting products are widely used in product identification, labeling and outer packaging.
It is also commonly used in the production of national securities, certificates and certificates, and has a wide range of applications. This series of standards is mainly based on the production process of holographic anti-counterfeiting products.
Classify by craftsmanship and anti-counterfeiting features.
GB/T 38278 "Technical Conditions for Holographic Anti-counterfeiting Products" is planned to consist of 6 parts.
— Part 1: General technical requirements for holographic anti-counterfeiting products. The purpose is to provide general rules for holographic anti-counterfeiting products.
— Part 2: Anti-counterfeiting holographic paper. The purpose is to provide relevant requirements and test methods for anti-counterfeiting holographic paper.
— Part 3: Anti-counterfeiting holographic hot stamping foil. The purpose is to provide the relevant requirements and test methods for anti-counterfeiting holographic hot stamping foil.
— Part 4: Holographic anti-counterfeiting films. The purpose is to provide relevant requirements and test methods for anti-counterfeiting holographic films.
— Part 5: Technical requirements for holographic anti-counterfeiting plate making. The purpose is to provide relevant requirements and classification for the plate making of anti-counterfeiting holographic products.
— Part 6: Cold stamping holographic anti-counterfeiting foil. The purpose is to provide the relevant requirements and test methods for cold stamping anti-counterfeiting holographic foil. Test method.
This document aims to standardize the production, application and inspection of holographic anti-counterfeiting paper so that holographic paper can better play its anti-counterfeiting effect and ensure its quality.
The stability and controllability of the system are of great significance to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of manufacturers, users and consumers, and maintaining national security and stability. Important significance.
