Core Technologies

At the heart of AlpVision’s success are patented technologies that turn standard packaging or the products themselves into powerful security assets.

1. Cryptoglyph® – Invisible Packaging Protection

Cryptoglyph is our flagship digital security feature. It consists of thousands of microscopic dots printed on packaging or labels using standard inks and regular printing processes (Offset, Flexo, Gravure, etc.).

Invisible to the naked eye: Does not alter the packaging design.

Cost-Effective: Requires no special inks or additional production steps.

Instant Verification: Authenticable via a standard smartphone or office scanner.

2. AlpVision Fingerprint® – "The Product is the Security"

This breakthrough technology identifies products based on their own microscopic surface irregularities. By capturing the unique "texture" of a product (such as plastic molded parts or metallic surfaces), AlpVision Fingerprint creates a digital signature without adding any markings.

No Marking Required: Completely covert and impossible to replicate.

Versatile Application: Ideal for plastic parts, bottle caps, and mechanical components.

3. Smart Embossing

Specifically designed for metallic packaging and foil (such as blister packs or luxury tins), Smart Embossing integrates invisible security patterns directly into the material during the embossing process. Like our other solutions, it is easily verifiable using a smartphone.
