Prooftag History

In 1999, Novatec, a private French laboratory, discovered by chance a “spontaneous” generation of bubbles in a polymer.

What was initially considered a major defect in the electronic card manufacturing industry was ingeniously turned into a high-security technical solution:

the Bubble Tag®.

2004

Novatec gave birth to Prooftag in order to develop the Bubble Tag® technology.

2009

Prooftag was the first company to market a concept of connected security allowing the unitary identification and authentication of products and documents.

2010

We delivered to our first clients in the wine industry a software dedicated to track & trace bottles on bottling and packaging lines. The S.O.D.A. software has quickly evolved into a MES (Manufacturing Execution System) specialized in the world of wines and spirits.

Nowadays, many wine growers in France, Italy, Spain and California use our software to pilot their production line.

2011

Prooftag is launching CertiDOCS, a software for securing and issuing documents. Several governments use this solution in a centralized or decentralized way to secure their official documents.

2012

Prooftag launches FiberTag®, a chaometric paper-based technology. Many international brands and several governments are using this technology.

2013

Prooftag launches the first IOT (Internet Of Things) platform on the market: Prooftag Cerv.

Thanks to Prooftag Cerv, customers benefit from a web interface to manage the use of their tags in the field of security, traceability and data management.

2015

Prooftag innovates and develops the iCivil concept, the first CRVS for the identification of newborns and the creation of civil registers.

2017

CertiTRACK becomes the new Track & Trace software for production lines in perfect synchronization with the IOT platform, Prooftag Cerv.

2018

Prooftag inaugurates a new line of products by designing its first machine for applying security seals with the Seal Applicator. The Seal Applicator is quickly connected to the CertiTRACK software to create a ready-to-use offer for small and medium series projects.

2019

Prooftag reinvents the Bubble Seal.

12 years after its first application, the Bubble Seal becomes available in four-color process and now integrates 3 levels of tamper-evidence with an increased lifespan.

In a globalized world, the ever increasing flow of information, products and people creates a growing need for forgery-proof and easy-to-control authentication solutions.

Only chaosmetric security technologies, such as the Bubble Tag®, where the human hand is excluded from the generation process, can provide a sustainable response to the problems of counterfeiting and falsification.
