  • (1888PressRelease) February 09, 2011 - Montauban, France - Prooftag has developed the most reliable authentication solution in the world: the Bubble Tag™ technology based on air pockets. With the unique Bubble Tag™ system, Prooftag expands into brand protection and document security.

    Globalization and technological progress have created a climate where counterfeit products and documents are widely produced. Initially hitting the luxury industry, the explosion of online commerce has expanded the sectors affected by this type of fraud.

    Founded in 2004, Prooftag develops authenticity solutions, notably Bubbles Tag™, designed to protect brands and certify documents. Since company inception, the corporation has succeeded in partnering with major clients specialized in luxury, wine producers, watches and jewelry, cosmetics, institutions and administrations. Several governments select Bubble Tag™ to protect their documents, including the Republic of Guinea who recently used Bubble Tag™ to secure votes in their last election.

    A "chaometric" invention

    Bubble Tag™ originated from a manufacture defect, which creates chaotic auto-generated air pockets inside a transparent layer of polymer. Initial close observation of these air pockets proved the bubbles align in a unique and random signature. This discovery inspired Bubble Tag™.

    The Bubble Tag™ is unbreakable. It is impossible to replicate the three dimensional pattern which includes hollows, forms and sizes, inside a material.

    A technology which protects consumers, businesses and institutions

    This original technology developed for document security and anti-counterfeiting, Bubble Tag™ is easy to use. Each Bubble Tag™ is photographed and associated with an identification stocked in a database before being placed on the product or document which will be secured. Authentication can then be verified visually (with the naked eye) or electronically (with an optic reader).

    Bubble Tag™ brings a durable response to counterfeit and falsification problems which affect consumers, industries and institutions. Now consumers can verify the authenticity of their purchases, industries have a solution to forgery, and institutions have a method to ensure the security of their citizens.

    About Prooftag

    Prooftag was founded in 2004 by Novatec, a laboratory dedicated to electronic research. While processing an adhesive in 1999, Novatec discovered spontaneous bubbles within the polymer were formed. What was initially an accidental discover has ingeniously been transformed into Bubble Tag™.

    Since 2004, Bubble Tag™ has been instrumental in numerous cases of brand protection (more than 25 applications in vineyards, watch-making, jewelers, gemology certificates, and children's toy brands). The high level of security conferred by Bubble Tag™ has allowed the group to expand into document security. Several governments choose Bubble Tag™ to protect their documents.
