How Are Prescriptions Rolls Protected?


One of our most highly regulated products are Prescription Thermal Paper Rolls. Pharmacists take a number of safeguards including using tamper resistant Rx paper to prevent fraud.

Features of this paper include (but not limited to):

  • Unique Security Backgrounds
    • This image varies by state
    • Secure messaging that appears under a blacklight
  • Hidden Message Technology
    • The word VOID is activated when a document is photocopied
    • Rx symbols can drop out during photocopying
  • Artificial Watermarks
    • These are marks on the reverse side of a form that is visible on a 45 degree angle facing the light.
  • Color Change Ink
    • When an Rx is rubbed, words can briefly appear/disappear

Because of these safeguards and regulation, any attempt to purchase this type of paper by unauthorized persons will be reported to authorities for prosecution to the full extent of the law.

It is also worth mentioning that before ordering you should check for your local government ordinances as they can vary. For instance Washington State prescription rolls are not universal and cannot use any old roll, the same goes for Kentucky Prescriptions and many more.
