NEW BANDEROLES FOR MAKING CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL
“The new control marks (banderoles) are made with highest level of protection, according to the needs of the Public Revenue Office of the Republic of Macedonia, having European standards and quality standards into consideration. All necessary levels of protection, packaging, sorting and distribution are applied. The different levels of protection incorporated in the control marks provide simple detection of the possible falsification using the visible and no visible protection elements, which are incorporated in the control mark. All protection elements from which the control marks are made of and produced are registered in the International organizations IHMA and INTERPOL. It should be pointed out that other control marks in the countries in region are with the lower level of protection, quality and design compared with the control marks of the Republic of Macedonia, whose overall costs of producing are one of the most competitive not only in the region, but also in Europe.”
