2Q. What is so special about the “3M” security marks?
2A. By incorporating 3M Ensure Image Technology, the UK4009N(HK) Series allows the security marks on the license plates to be clearly visible when viewing from the sides from a particular angle, but look very much like any ordinary plates when viewing directly in front of them. The directional security marks will not reduce the reflectivity or interfere with appearance and legibility of the finished plates. Since the reflective material contains the directional security marks as its integral part, the complicated production process makes unauthorized reproduction extremely difficult. Manufactured by 3M in Germany, the UK4009N(HK) Series was introduced by 3M Hong Kong to enhance vehicle protection and bring peace of mind to customers in Hong Kong. -
