Ward/Kraft Implements New Suite of Cost-Effective Security Features for Long Run Labels

Fort Scott, KS (PRWEB) July 12, 2008

Ward/Kraft, Inc., the trade leader in providing long run label security features for print distributors, today announced that their expanded suite of long run security label options now includes anti-fraud deterrent technologies for face stock printing as well as embedded deterrent substrate solutions. This suite of anti-fraud solutions gives independent distributors the most effective range of options in the long run label market. With the release of these new options, Ward/Kraft firmly establishes itself as the leader in providing highly-secure long run label solutions for print distributors.

"Our distributors are asking for more than micro printing and holograms", said Gina Holt, vice president of sales. "They want to be industry leaders, providing a broad and effective range of anti-fraud labeling solutions to their customers", continued Holt. "Our distributors now have a comprehensive set of surface and embedded solutions at costs that almost any of their customers can justify," concluded Holt.

Face stock printing options include chemical sensitivity coatings, five copy resistant stains, embedded security fibers, toner adhesion coatings and custom watermarking. Embedded solutions now include thread that embeds structured magnetic threads into paper label substrates as the label paper is made. Embedded solutions also include security threads made from polyester, metalized film, de-metalized film, magnetic and fiber optic materials. Another embedded option integrates an invisible mark into the paper which appears when the label is scanned with a special pen. Finally, the company is offering machine readable taggants that allow equipment such as printers to communicate with a host device to suspend printing until the label taggant is recognized and accepted. Customer service representatives are available to answer questions and provide quick quotes.

Ward/Kraft's' security label offering is backed by time-proven, results-driven product innovations and a knowledgeable customer service team. The cost-effective long run security label options can be quoted by the customer service team via phone, fax, mail and email. The Ward/Kraft customer service and sales teams have completed special training to help distributors better understand and more easily sell highly secure long run label orders.
