Best Product Security Application

2025 – Winner

Ara authentic

ARA Authentic – Checkmyheat

The winner was ARA Authentic for checkmyheat – a constantly warm laser marking and lighting-dependent colour-changing label based on laser-treated PVD coating system. The innovation features a laser coating that always remains a few degrees warmer than its surroundings, which shows special optical colour changes. For example, a PVD layer stack that appears blue can shift to bright yellow when illuminated. These advanced PVD coatings are also available as labels, which serve not only as security features but also as effective information carriers.
