ty to utilize protection technologies and consult customers in their choice for invisible protection technology to embed data, codes, or logos directly into printed artwork or var- nish during the prepress stage. Even under strong magni- fication, these codes remain hidden to the naked eye and do not affect the original design. This data can be decoded offline via a smartphone app, which optically analyzes the printed image and extracts the hidden information. Stegano technology, one of the program’s special- ized technologies, is used to integrate information into the printed representation of a product or packaging by incorporating an additional secured layer of information. Anyone, whether end user, reseller, or manufacturer, if re- leased by the legitimate owner, can call up and decode the information using a simple mobile application. “We’ve forged a strong partnership with Koenig & Bau- er for 30 years,” said Brown. “We rely on Koenig & Bauer to work together with us collectively and collaboratively in supporting our world class customers. This new certi- fication program protects our brand customers against counterfeiting and enables complete and easy product au- thentication. Adopting this new solution has enabled us to transition with our brand owners in offering holistic direct protection solutions.” Curtis Packaging has benefited from a long relationship with Koenig & Bauer.
