Cost-effective micro-embedding system

14 April 2007


Converting equipment specialist Henderson Engineering in Manchester designed bespoke embossing machines for the system.

Hidden Image is micro-embedding software developed by Nautilus Security Technologies that the company says “undercuts the cost of virtually every other security printing technique”. A PDF image of a brand, logo, graphic, message or design is converted by the specially developed algorithm to produce the die or engraving, which can then be viewed using a lenticular lens.

Henderson Engineering md Graeme Jones says: “We were approached because our independent converting engineering design skills matched the kind of tolerances required for this application. Potentially this could open the gates to a stream of orders for our embossers.”
