OpSec Security tax stamp solutions are proven to protect Government tax revenues and trace excisable products throughout the complete supply chain
The global trade in counterfeit and smuggled excisable products such as tobacco is worth many billions of US dollars. The effects on industries and the businesses that operate within them can be devastating, as well as causing huge losses in tax revenue to governments.
OpSec’s modular suite of digital tax stamp solutions are proven to successfully combat this illicit trade and increase excise revenues, as well as enable governments to meet their obligations under the FCTC ITP Protocol.
Uncompromised Optical Security Features
OpSec’s secure tax stamps are produced by combining banknote level security print and OVD (Optically Variable Device) technology that provide market-leading security features at overt, covert and forensic levels.
OpSec optical security experts work with our local partners and government enforcement to ensure the ideal set of security features are chosen and provide full training and tools to enable effective authentication of all stamps found within the supply chain.
OpSec® Insight Track & Trace
OpSec’s proprietary Insight Track and Trace platform has been developed to offer a flexible and robust tax stamp traceability solution from UID (Unique Identifier) creation through to manufacturing, application and throughout the complete supply chain.
Because every country has its own unique supply chain infrastructure and legal framework, OpSec works closely with our local partners and government clients to provide a complete audit of the industry from the outset, enabling an effective traceability solution to be planned, resourced and successfully implemented.
OpSec® Insight Mobile Authentication
The OpSec® Insight mobile application is capable of both providing enforcement officers with live and dynamic supply chain data as well as authenticating specific security features within the tax stamp – all using a standard iOS or Android mobile phone technology.
The result is a fast, reliable and trusted mobile enforcement solution ensuring any effort to replicate or emulate a stamp be immediately highlighted upon mobile interrogation.
