On September 17, 2025, the extremely exciting and top-class “Optical & Digital Document Security Conference” came to an end, where Ara-Authentic was also able to present its latest exhibits on the topic of anti-counterfeiting.
As part of this conference, awards were also presented by the IOTA (International Optical Technologies Association) in seven categories.
The award for the best product security application went to Ara-Authentic, which we were very pleased about.
Specifically, our concept was awarded, which consists of counterfeit-proof, additive, “always warm” ARA-checkmyheat® product markings as well as counterfeit-proof labels on their outer packaging, which are correlated with each other and can be quickly and reliably checked for authenticity with one’s own smartphone.
