plastics, paper, fibers

Secure your brand

with global material traceability

Our Solution

Traditional methods (hallmarking, serial numbers) for materials traceability, anti-counterfeit protection, and MMRV offer insufficient precision, security, and cost efficacy.

Newer methods (e.g., RFID) can be cost-prohibitive and incompatible with important form factors (e.g., uniform distribution throughout plastics/fibers/paper products).

NovaVera incorporates our patented sub-micron Intelligent Materials into plastics, paper, fibers, and other materials, which our proprietary scanners detect at a part-per-billion level throughout the product life cycle.

This gives manufacturers low-cost, high-precision monitoring and authentication throughout their supply chains.

Key features:

  • Intelligent Material is non-cloneable, non-destructible through product life cycle

  • Seamless integration into manufacturing

  • No impact on material quality / appearance

  • Non-intrusive detection

  • Real-time monitoring

  • Cost-effective

End Product

  • Intelligent Fiber

    Preventing counterfeit fiber products is essential for ensuring quality, safety, and ethical sourcing throughout the supply chain. Counterfeit textiles can introduce harmful materials, compromise product performance, and violate labor and environmental standards, impacting both brands and consumers. Downstream clients, such as apparel brands, rely on authentic materials to meet regulatory standards, maintain product integrity, and uphold their sustainability commitments. By ensuring traceability and authenticity, manufacturers can protect their reputation, support ethical production practices, and provide consumers with confidence in the products they purchase.

  • Intelligent Plastic

    Preventing counterfeit plastic products is crucial for protecting consumer safety, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting environmental sustainability. Counterfeit plastics in medical devices, automotive parts, and food packaging can pose serious health and safety risks, leading to product failures and contamination. Ensuring authenticity also helps combat the proliferation of substandard materials that contribute to pollution and undermine recycling efforts. By verifying the origin and composition of plastics, manufacturers can build trust, support circular economy initiatives, and reduce the environmental impact of counterfeit goods.

  • Intelligent Paper

    NovaVera ensures the authenticity and safety of critical items such as currency, legal documents, and medical packaging, which, if counterfeited, can lead to financial fraud, identity theft, and health risks. Authentic paper products in areas like pharmaceuticals and food packaging protect consumers from harmful materials and misinformation. Combating counterfeit paper supports environmental sustainability by ensuring that only legally sourced, responsibly manufactured materials enter the market, helping to curb illegal deforestation and promote ethical supply chains.

  • Intelligent Ink

    Security inks play a vital role in protecting critical assets such as currency, identification documents, and product packaging, helping to prevent fraud and ensure authenticity. These specialized inks have evolved beyond traditional UV activation, incorporating advanced features such as multi-wavelength responses, molecular taggants, and machine-readable properties that provide higher levels of security and traceability. By staying ahead of counterfeiters with cutting-edge innovations, security inks contribute to global economic stability, consumer safety, and trust in essential goods and financial systems.
