PRIME LABELS WITH SECURE PRINT FEATURES.
The estimated value of cross-border trade in counterfeit and pirated goods is $1.77 trillion. In most cases, counterfeit products are daily use items such as healthcare products, medicine, toys and clothing.
Augmented Labels were created to satisfy your customer’s need to have unique labels that go beyond high-quality prime labels. Help your customers protect their brand’s reputation and bottom line by offering a print solution that will aid in their battle against counterfeit products.
What are Augmented Security Labels?
Augmented Labels are prime labels that have some added unique print effects making it more diffcult for counterfeiters to duplicate. This added benefit creates more brand awareness with the consumer as they will more easily recognize a fake product on the shelf.
Diversified Labeling Solutions will work with you and your customer to help design print features that are unique and secure. Want your customers to verify authenticity? Add a QR code to the label that will take a customer to their website and enter the product’s serial number to confirm authenticity.
