ENHANCING CUSTOMIZATION AND FUNCTIONALITY
VARIABLE DATA PRINTING IS A POWERFUL PRINTING TECHNIQUE
Variable Data Printing facilitates the customization of printed materials by incorporating variable data such as text, images, or barcodes. In label production, this technology enables the creation of unique and personalized labels within a single print run. It has proven invaluable in various industries requiring individualized labels with specific details.
UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS
What makes unique print data solutions increasingly crucial? In numerous applications, a unique identifier (UID) is indispensable, achievable only through variable data label printing. Typically, a QR code or 2D matrix code serves as the optimal method for printing a variable UID. UIDs effectively distinguish products and meet the requirements of track & trace software, the EPP, and similar applications.
UNIQUE CODE PRINTING
WE ARE ONE OF THE LEADING VARIABLE DATA PRINTING COMPANIES
We also facilitate the printing of variable 1D codes, such as code 128 or 39. However, in the long run, we anticipate a shift towards 2D codes due to their inherent advantages.
Variable print data solutions can be applied directly to the product or onto a Pressure Sensitive Label (PSL), which is subsequently affixed to the product. At Securikett, we specialize in variable printing on PSL and VOID PSL.

WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN SECURE VARIABLE CODE DELIVERY
CODE QUALITY AND MANAGMENT
In general, distinguishing between the quality and management of codes is crucial. Understanding the sequence and required documentation simplifies application significantly. Packaging specifications dictate the print sequence, ensuring customers receive codes in the correct order after production.
For instance, changes in reel size can affect the printing sequence of codes. Occasionally, missing labels may occur due to production issues such as registration or material problems. This results in codes being missing.
Therefore, documenting delivered codes is not only helpful but often required. As one of the foremost variable data printing companies, Securikett fully documents both printed and delivered codes.
VARIABLE PDF PRINTING
LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE
A QR or 2D matrix code is a known technology. However, it is sometimes required to “manipulate” the code for security or marketing reasons. When you see a code within integrated image for example. In this case the code is printed via a variable PDF, which means the codes are generated by a different software. To print variable PDF in a certain sequence is a very complex process and this technology is relatively new.
We, at Securikett, have gained already a good level of experience in printing variable PDFs. This means we can print all variable images that software can generate. A further application for this technology is variable graphic images needed for an anti-cloning technology. This can only be printed by variable PDFs.
The reading quality of a 2D code is determined by the size of the code (the bigger the better), the amount of information packed into the code and the mere print quality. The trade-off between these parameters must be considered during the planning phase. There are some limitations to respect i.e. the min size of a 2D code should not go below 10mm.
WHAT MAKES SECURIKETT
SMART LABELS SO SPECIAL?
PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL PROTECTION
We connect digital and physical security. Highly secure UIDs, based on cryptographic methods are combined with a variety of physical tamper-proof security features.
ITEM OR BATCH
We add data to the UIDs of the individual products within the production or packaging process. This can be done unit by unit, or batchwise.
NFC and RFID
Our secure UIDs can also be introduced in the form of a radio frequency tag, such as an RFID or NFC tag.
CODIKETT
We offer a modular and secure system for UID Issuance, data analysis, grey market detection and consumer communication - all from one single source.
