Teslin Anti-Counterfeiting Cards: A Cost-Effective Solution for ID Document Security

1. Sports Events Sector: IMAGE TECH provided optical security identification solutions for identity documents for the following major events: the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games, the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games, the Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games, the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games, the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games in El Salvador, and the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago. IMAGE TECH can rapidly produce staff credentials, media passes, and volunteer badges within tight timeframes—perfectly meeting the high-volume, short-cycle credentialing demands of large-scale international sporting events. 2. High-Level International Summits: During the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires Summit in Argentina, IMAGE TECH’s optical anti-counterfeiting laminating pouch solution ensured efficient and secure identity verification throughout the summit. 3. Government-Issued Identity Documents: IMAGE TECH’s Teslin + optical anti-counterfeiting laminating pouch solution has been widely deployed in driver’s license programs across multiple international jurisdictions. Personal information printed on the Teslin substrate is fully encapsulated within the optical anti-counterfeiting pouch, physically preventing tampering, scraping, or substitution—making it a mature, secure, and cost-effective choice for government-issued credentials. III. Core Competitive Advantages of Teslin Anti-Counterfeiting Cards Currently, mainstream international document security solutions each have distinct strengths. Teslin anti-counterfeiting cards precisely fill a market gap by uniquely combining low cost, high security, and rapid card production: | Solution | Process | Advantages | Shortcomings | Applicable Scenarios | |----------|---------|------------|--------------|----------------------| | PVC/PC Card + Surface Optical Anti-Counterfeiting Film (PATCH/Overlay) | Personalized data printed onto pre-printed cards → optical anti-counterfeiting film laminated on top | Strong visual impact; flexible manufacturing process | High equipment investment; complex process flow; relatively high overall project cost | Suitable for long-term use, high-volume standardized projects, and applications demanding high abrasion and durability resistance | | PVC/PC Card + Embedded Lamination Film | Printing may occur before or after lamination (depending on material and process) | High anti-counterfeiting performance; excellent durability | High equipment investment; complex process flow | Suitable for high-security, long-term-use applications requiring superior abrasion and durability resistance |

PPG to Showcase Durable PPG TESLIN® Label Solutions at Labelexpo Europe 2023

PPG will showcase its portfolio of durable PPG TESLIN® label materials for adhesive coaters, packaging specialists, and label converters during Labelexpo Europe 2023, September 11–13 in Brussels, Belgium. PPG Teslin substrate is a durable, secure, and easy-to-print synthetic material that excels in label applications that demand a tough, high-performance solution. The substrate absorbs inks, toners, adhesives, and coatings, locking them into its structure for long-lasting durability and security with no additional processing or expense. It is also flexible and conformable, enabling long-lasting adhesion to cylindrical items and other tough-to-label surfaces. The combination of these performance characteristics makes PPG Teslin substrate ideal for applications requiring printed data to remain legible and intact on labels—such as brand protection, tamper-evident security, medical/pharmaceutical labeling, and in-mold labeling. It is also used in the chemical industry for labels compliant with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and British Standard 5609 (BS 5609).
