K&B and GSSC Partner for New Print Security Features

Koenig & Bauer and Graphic Security Systems Corporation (GSSC) have formed a partnership to jointly develop and deliver advanced anti-counterfeiting solutions to customers worldwide.

US-based GSSC offers a range of anti- counterfeiting technologies based on steganography, the art of hiding data within an ordinary design or artwork to evade detection, replication, and modification.

By combining its steganographic technologies with the printing press and quality control capabilities of Koenig & Bauer, the two companies say that a ‘dynamic and unparalleled level of protection, detection and authentication is achieved’.

The technology is a cost-effective way of incorporating security into documents and products, and can be integrated in almost any available printing process from Koenig & Bauer – flexo, offset and digital.

The launch of the Koenig & Bauer STEGANO technology family represents the initial efforts of both organisations to introduce the concept to the brand and high-security printing industries.
