A micro embedding software development whose creators believe will transform anti counterfeiting measures for the packaging industry uses special bespoke embossing equipment machines designed by Henderson Engineering.

The Hidden Image technology (HIT) developed by Nautilus Security Technologies is claimed to “cut the costs of virtually every other security printing technique”. Any kind of image – even inks – can be micro embedded onto a print cylinder or die, it is claimed. A PDF image of a brand, logo, graphic, message or design is converted by the HIT algorithm and used to produce the die or engraving. Images can be viewed using an inexpensive lens, the company adds.

Henderson Engineering managing director Graeme Jones says: “We were approached because our independent converting engineering design skills matched the kind of of tolerances required for this application. Potentially, this could open the gates to a stream of orders for our embossers.”

Henderson Engineering is a specialist manufacturer of coaters, embossers, slitter and rewinders, laminators and “virtually any type of converting equipment” for converting, packaging and printing clients.
