German print giant's technology "secures" packaging and products...

Heidelberg's Linoprotect is an anti-piracy system that can easily be integrated into packaging lines to protect against counterfeiting.

The system is comprised of two security technologies and an optical verification system. According to the manufacturer, "a forge-proof marking on the product or the packaging can be checked for authenticity using a standard camera phone, PDA or scanner." What's more, "the customer can be given important additional information such as an expiration date, dosage or a personalized hyperlink." The system will be available in early 2009.
