THE CHALLENGE

Illicit trade is far from a victimless crime: Governments lose tax revenue, public health is endangered, consumers suffer from sub-standard products, and organized crime is funded.

Trustworthy product authentication, through secure marks, is a valuable tool to tackle these problems, enabling tax collection, proof of compliance, and promoting public confidence.

THE SOLUTION

Secure product marks are counterfeit-resistant, tamper-evident labels or stamps, even  direct imprints onto product and packaging. SICPA's secure product marks are important because they protect product integrity and enable trusted traceability data. Product marks can also be integrated with traceability solutions to extend data capture from production to point of sale.Questions? Contact us.
