Verification Of Pharmaceutical Product Packaging To Prevent Counterfeits, Using Hidden Security Features Revealed With A Laser Pointer

摘要

Pharmaceutical tablets and dosage forms are stored in a blister pack or other type of packaging which include additional anti-counterfeiting measures that are difficult to simulate and easy to reveal with a laser pointer. The blister pack is embossed with a hidden security feature including hidden information that is revealed only when a laser beam is directed through the packaging to be deflected at the hidden security feature. The hidden security feature may also accompany other covert and/or overt security features, including multi-level hologram features embossed into the blister pack at the same time as the hidden security feature.
