Authentication Connections Directory

ACD_Directory_09_100x142

The Authentication Connections Directory is the first guidebook of its kind exclusively for specifiers, users and converters of security documents and branded products - providing an easy reference source for specialised suppliers of authentication and anti- counterfeiting technologies and systems for the protection of these.

Free to subscribers of Authentication News

£25 for non-subscribers

 

The Authentication Connections Directory is the only guidebook of its kind to provide an easy,  one-stop reference source for specialised suppliers of authentication and anti-counterfeiting technologies, systems and services. The first edition, published in 2006, was an immediate success and, due to popular demand, the second edition was brought out in February 2009.

The Directory is aimed both at users (manufacturers and distributors of branded goods, specifers and issuers of secured and financial documents, packaging convertors and integrators) to help them source appropriate technologies and suppliers, and also at suppliers themselves, particularly those looking to partner with other technology providers to offer multi- layered security solutions.

Distribution of the Directory is free to subscribers of Authentication News , and to specifiers/users of authentication technologies (such as brand owners and government issuers). There is, however, a nominal charge to others of  £25 (which includes p&p).

The second edition of the Directory lists nearly 500 specialised suppliers, as well as key anti-counterfeiting and IP industry associations, with categories including:

  • substrates and components (including paper and polymer, films, laminates,  tamper-evident substrates, threads, tapes, fibres and planchettes)
  • inks, coatings, varnishes and taggants
  • print technologies and security features (including hidden, latent and anti-copy features,
  • optically variable devices (diffractive, refractive and reflective, colour shift)
  • coding and serialisation technologies for product ID and track & trace
  • authentication and verification devices and systems
  • authentiation services (internet monitoring, investigative, consultancy)
  • integrators (security printers and labeling companies)
