A great challenge faced by governments worldwide is to fight against the threat of counterfeiting and duplicity of their products.
Holoprint has found a quick, easy and cost effective answer to this grave problem by way of introducing Holographic Tax Stamps which come wrapped with extensive security features.
Made by using high security hologram and compiled with perfect design element of joint micro-embossed printing, these technically sophisticated stamps come in both Tamper Proof Pressure Sensitive and Non-Self-Adhesive nature along with full designing, multi level authentication device and complete track and trace operations.
Holoprint manufactures these stamps in standard format but is flexible enough to customize them as per their client’s needs and specifications. What makes the company’s product unique is the fact that after using these stamps, there has been an increment of 5 to 10 percent in revenue collection thereby authenticating and optimizing the government’s income from excise programs.
The use of these tax stamps helps combat forgery, duplicity and counterfeiting, protects alteration of important data, allows immediate authentication and even safeguards the excise revenue imposed on tobacco and alcohol products which in turn assures secured Fiscal income and reduction in consumption of un-taxed or smuggled goods.
It is important to note that as on 2007, 68 countries used Tax / Excise Stamps for cigarettes, 59 countries for liquors, 77 countries used them for both cigarette and liquor.
Also, HOLOPRINT has added an integrated IT solution Track and Trace which enables the authority to track the movement of goods from manufacturer’s premises to end customer.
Matched to risk level, revenue category, and the traceability your jurisdiction requires.
A cost-efficient security paper solution designed for jurisdictions requiring reliable identification and individual stamp traceability.
The stamp can incorporate duplex printing, guilloché patterns, micro-printed text, and UV / pH-reactive forensic inks. Sequential inkjet numbering keeps every stamp individually traceable throughout its lifecycle.
Its flexible design also allows the stamps to be produced in different formats and specifications, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The combination of visible authentication features and hidden forensic elements helps simplify verification while providing an additional layer of protection against forgery and unauthorized reproduction.
A security paper stamp enhanced with an additional optical security layer, combining the practicality of paper with holographic authentication.
It can carry a holographic transfer strip, 2D Data Matrix barcode, and digital laser sequential numbering. This combination adds visual security and digital traceability while maintaining the cost efficiency of a paper-based stamp.
The holographic layer can be customized with multiple overt and covert security elements, including guilloché patterns, microtext, hidden images, UV features, and specialized optical effects. These layered authentication features make the stamp easier to verify visually while providing enhanced protection against counterfeiting, duplication, and unauthorized reproduction.
A fully holographic solution designed for applications requiring a higher level of visual authentication and advanced anti-counterfeiting features.
Holographic stamps can incorporate 2D / 3D depth, kinetic and Fresnel effects, animated text, and QR-coded traceability. Taggant and talking-pen options can also be incorporated for additional layers of authentication.
The holographic solution can be customized with a combination of overt, covert, and forensic security features to meet specific authentication requirements. Advanced optical effects, microtext, hidden imagery, guilloché patterns, and specialized verification elements can be integrated into the hologram, creating multiple layers of protection against counterfeiting, duplication, and unauthorized reproduction while enabling rapid visual and electronic verification.
Engineered to verify tax payment and authenticity at every point of inspection.
| PARAMETER | DETAIL |
|---|---|
| Adhesive Nature | Tamper Proof Pressure Sensitive or Non-Self-Adhesive construction, built for secure application to tax-paid packs |
| Multi-Level Authentication | Guilloché patterns, microtext, and colour-shifting inks layered as an overt-to-forensic authentication device |
| Optical Security | High-security hologram with 2D/3D imaging, kinetic movement, and Fresnel and colour-shift effects |
| Serialization & Numbering | Alpha-numeric sequential inkjet or digital laser numbering, plus 2D data matrix barcode for unit-level tracing |
| Forensic & Covert Layer | pH-reactive ink, hidden raster image, and UV-invisible image for lab-level forensic verification |
| Track & Trace Ready | Integrated IT-based Track and Trace solution monitors movement from manufacturer's premises to end customer |
What every tax stamp is engineered to deliver, regardless of substrate or jurisdiction.
Human Readable variable data alongside a Machine Readable encrypted code, for verification by inspectors and scanning systems alike.
A hidden "VOID" pattern surfaces the instant the stamp is photocopied or scanned, exposing counterfeit attempts on sight.
Inks that shift colour with heat or viewing angle, plus a colour-changing image effect that standard printing cannot replicate.
UV feature and UV Paper substrate work alongside pH-reactive ink and hidden raster imaging for covert, lab-level authentication.
Micro Print detail and Security Cuts (kiss-cuts) leave visible damage the moment a stamp is removed, so tampering can't go unnoticed.
Fractures on removal rather than lifting cleanly, making the stamp impossible to peel off and reapply to another pack.
Protect government revenue and brand integrity at once, without slowing down a single production line.
Governments have recorded a 5 to 10 percent increase in revenue collection after introducing tax stamps, optimizing income from excise programs.
Multi-level authentication and micro-embossed printing protect against forgery, duplicity, and counterfeiting, and guard against alteration of important data.
Immediate authentication at the point of sale helps reduce consumption of un-taxed or smuggled tobacco and alcohol products in the market.
Holoprint's integrated IT-based Track and Trace solution lets authorities follow goods from the manufacturer's premises to the end customer.
Tax and excise stamps are a long-established compliance instrument, historically used by dozens of countries across cigarette and liquor categories.
Built for excise programs across both alcohol and tobacco, in standard formats or fully customized to a government authority's specification.
Tax stamps applied across pack formats and markets, wherever excise verification is required.
Serialized stamps on soft and hard packs for excise verification at retail.
Holographic or paper-based stamps sized for cartons and premium cigar packaging.
Tax stamps sized for bottles and cartons, safeguarding excise revenue on alcohol just as they do on tobacco.
Digital-integrated, track & trace-ready stamps built for cross-border compliance.
Deployed at national scale to support tax revenue collection and anti-illicit trade enforcement.
