An example container includes: structure having an interior and an exterior. The interior is to contain an electronic product. The exterior comprises: a first label of a first type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a first wavelength; and a second label of a second type of polychromatic ink to be activated at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength; the first label to indicate a first set of features to be configured at the electronic product using a first wireless signal; and the second label to indicate a second set of features to be configured at the electronic product using a second wireless signal. The structure is transparent to the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal.

Example implementations relate to multiple payload pantograph. Some examples may include a first pattern generation engine to generate a first pattern. The first pattern may be a data-bearing pattern encoding a first payload. Additionally, some examples may include a second pattern generation engine to generate a second pattern, the second pattern (by itself or in combination with the first pattern) may represent a second payload. The second payload may be camouflaged by a combination of the first pattern and the second pattern. Some examples may also include a pantograph generation engine to generate a multiple payload pantograph including the first pattern and the second pattern. The multiple payload pantograph may include the first pattern in one of the pantograph background or the pantograph foreground.

A secure lens sheet or layer suitable for use in a micro-optic system, which is made up of a plurality of joined fine lens arrays (e.g., joined fine lenticular and/or joined fine non-cylindrical lens arrays), is provided. Each array has a lens pitch different from adjacent or contiguous arrays and/or is orientated in a direction different from adjacent or contiguous arrays. A micro-optic security device, which utilizes the inventive secure lens sheet and one or more overlying or underlying arrangements of micro-sized image icons (e.g., line data), is also provided. The image icon arrangement(s) and the secure lens layer are configured such that one or more synthetic images are projected by the security device. These projected images may show a number of different optical effects. With such a combination lens layer, some regions could be optically active when the device is tilted in one direction, some could be active when tilted in the opposite direction, and some areas could be active when the device is tilted in either (or any) direction. The inventive micro-optic security device may be partially embedded in and/or mounted on a surface of a security article (e.g., paper or polymer security document, label, card), or integrated therein.

An optical article printed on a substrate may include an organic binder; and a plurality of reflective magnetic platelets provided in the organic binder, wherein the plurality of reflective magnetic platelets are substantially aligned in accordance with at least part of a surface of revolution, and wherein the plurality of reflective magnetic platelets are aligned to cause a first reflective effect of the optical article when the substrate is rotated around a first axis and to cause a second reflective effect of the optical article when the substrate is rotated around a second axis, wherein the first reflective effect is different from the second reflective effect.

A printable electronic document is received into a computerized device. The printable document contains original markings that can be printed on print media to produce a printed document. However, before printing, a computerized device adds first hidden markings to the printable electronic document. Such first hidden markings have a first vector graphic size. Further, the computerized device removes a pattern from the first hidden markings in the printable electronic document and adds (only to the removed pattern in the printable electronic document) second hidden markings that have the same vector graphic size as, but are out of phase with, the first hidden markings. Also, the computerized device adds geometrically shaped distraction markings to the printable electronic document. The geometrically shaped distraction markings have a second vector graphic size that is much larger than the first vector graphic size of the first and second hidden markings.
