Label protects pin numbers

摘要

A new patented solution to scratch-off pin code label security from Stratus Packaging has won a prize for innovation in the FINAT International Label Competition. The IXcode label employs a novel variation on the system involving silver inks over the printed pin number which the customer needs to scratch off to display the pin. Often employed by banks, this system lays itself open to pin code theft through, for example, heating the scratch-off inks to make the number visible.
