Security Seals and Holographic Labels for Spirits
Refilling is the problem here. A real bottle, a real label, and cheap drink inside. Only a seal on the cap catches it.
The problem
What you are defending against
Most fake spirits are refills. Empty bottles get collected from bars, filled with something cheaper and sold again. The bottle is real and the label is real. The only thing wrong is that the seal was opened once.
So the cap is the only place worth sealing. A hologram on the front proves the bottle is yours. It says nothing about what is inside it now.
Premium spirits have the same problem as cosmetics. Whatever you add has to belong on the bottle.
What we recommend
Tamper-evident VOID labels
A neck or closure seal that destroys itself on first opening. Combine it with a holographic layer so the seal is also a visible mark of authenticity on the shelf.
Features worth specifying
- VOID release across the closure
- Holographic layer for shelf authentication
- Serial numbering per bottle
- QR code for consumer verification
- Custom die to fit the neck profile
Not sure which of these you need? That is a normal place to start. Every feature, and how each one is checked
Before you order
Things that change the specification here
Neck seals are a curved-surface problem
Bottle necks are tight radii and often tapered. The die shape and the film flexibility both have to suit the profile. Send us the bottle dimensions, or a sample bottle if the geometry is unusual.
Condensation and chilled storage
If the product is chilled or moves through cold chain, the adhesive sees condensation cycles that will lift a standard label. Say so on the quote form.
Tax stamps are a separate matter
If your market requires an official excise or tax stamp, that is government-controlled security printing and we are not the supplier for it. We can sit alongside one, but we will not pretend to replace it.
