    The Security Line bars have several security features:

    The pearl finish on the front is created using a special heat treatment technique and leaves a subtle swirling pattern under the frosted surface.

    The edges are reeded like a coin so any tampering is very obvious.

    The back is coated in an invisible ink that is only visible under UV light.

    Each bar also comes with a security label showing the bar's serial number, so they're easy to keep track of for record keeping and auditing.

    All up, they're difficult to tamper with and make a very poor target for counterfeiting. We're really very impressed with them and they're selling well.

    Cheers,

    Joey

    Good question, any issues with milk spots?

    We haven't had anyone come back to us about milk spots.

    It's possible they could develop with time and exposure to the air, but we're not aware of spotting being an issue.

    (Fortunately, the Geiger bars aren't as delicate as Canadian Silver Maples, so you could give them a very gentle clean with baking soda if you've taken the plastic off and they develop some toning).

    We have moved HEAPS of these bars in lots of different sizes. No milk spots as yet.
    Proving to be a very popular product both locally and overseas.
    So far all feedback has been positive and I can see them being a very big part of the market here in Australia.

    Ok thanks for that, I never thought of it until I saw the question asked and just wanted a bit of feedback.

    wouldn't the baking soda wash the ultraviolet seal off the bar?
