Security labels are adhered or attached to personal items or products to add security protection and tamper evidence. These labels have pressure sensitive adhesive, are easily applied to surfaces, and have a face material that accepts being printed with a barcode or other information. There are many different kinds of security labels on the market for numerous different situations.
Tamper-resistant labels are used when sending sensitive documents by way of envelope. A tamper evident seal will clearly and easily show whether anyone has attempted to gain access to documents or any other important envelope contents. The security labels or stickers can show a tear, can disintegrate, or can leave behind a message that access has been attempted by leaving various hidden patterns or words on the surface of the product, or can even show that a seal has been broken in a door, window, or cabinet.
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) labels are another form of Security label. A micro-chip and an integrated antenna are embedded into the label in order to send information to a receiver. With the miniaturization of electronic technology today, these labels can be quite flat or encased in a small plastic shell, and are used extensively in retail stores.
Another interesting feature of an additional type of security label is the label’s detection of water contact. Water-sensitive security labels are designed to dissolve or change colors upon evidence that water-related tampering has occurred. This type of security seal is a great option for protecting water-sensitive products, such as electronics that may be compromised if they come into contact with water.
In today’s world, where safety and security is foremost, security labels fulfill an important need for prevention and protection.

Tax Stamps are used to collect excise tax’s placed on consumer goods or for a controlled substance such as alchohol, cigarettes, tobacco, cannabis, drugs, medicines, playing cards and many other products. A tax stamp, similar to a postage stamp is affixed to the product confirming proof that payment from the manufacturer has been made to the United States Government. Affixing the stamp over the opening of a product also acts as a anti-tampering seal. Utilizing embedded unique identifying codes, tax stamps provide tax confirmation, security, and product authentication for consumers and retailers. This ensures that the product is not counterfeit. The product can be tracked using track and trace technology from its origin through the complete supply chain to the final destination, thereby proving the products legitimacy.
Tax stamps are printed using several different reproduction processes such as offset, intaglio, and inkjet printing. There are many different printing techniques, substrates and special inks involved. Embossing is a relief style technique widely used to give the design a characteristic look of authenticity and security. Most tax stamps use security papers with security fibres and dots with embedded data, codes or serial numbers within the printed design to utilize track and trace technology. The more the complexity of a tax stamp, the more security and serialization the stamp can offer. Tax stamps in the 21st century are modern security tools using the latest technologies such as embedded data, holograms, security inks, taggants, track and trace and more in the future.

Pizza trays are made from durable fluted corrugated cardboard construction that are food-safe and FDA approved for handling food products. Pizza trays are used as a base for the pizza in the packaging process, and are usually brown or white in color, with white being used for presentations. The trays are usually rectangular or round in shape, and their sizes range from 10” to 18” in diameter. They are designed to hold heavy food products such as a pizza or cake, and provide a moisture barrier between the food and box to absorb liquid and ensure freshness. Pizza trays are good for the environment, and are 100% recycleable.
MFT’s Hygienic Washdown friction feeders are the perfect machines to help transport corrugated pizza trays in an automated industrial packaging environment. Our HWD feeders can dispense pizza trays, pizza labels, or slip sheets from the feeders magazine, or if high capacity is needed, the pizza trays can be automated from an Automatic Product Loader (APL).
