Videojet Technologies has been manufacturing UV inks for more than 15 years. Chuck Ravetto, director of small character marking for Videojet Technologies, points out that UV fluorescent inks are used for covert variable-data codes used on many forms of packaging.

“Covert codes facilitated through UV inks help provide security and brand protection from threats like diversion, counterfeiting, and warranty fraud, which are common in many markets,” says Ravetto. “Videojet helps customers combat these threats by combining digital imaging expertise, proprietary software, and inks, including UV inks, to uniquely identify products at the item level.”
