References and customer applications - SECUTAG® product labelling

Since SECUTAG® micro colour codes are not visible to the naked eye, many of our internationally active customers label their products discreetly. Only some insiders - generally their own employees, who, as investigators, conduct inspections or are responsible for purchase on approval - know how the originals are secured and how their authenticity can be ascertained beyond doubt. Unfortunately, we cannot reveal the names of these customers here for obvious reasons.

However, we are happy to present to you some interesting applications of our customers, who have opted for public declaration of the security of their products.

Customs officers, commercial agents and product protection representatives can thus verify the authenticity of goods. SECUTAG® prevents illegal overproduction in production plants worldwide, since the number of secured labels is defined. Counterfeits are easily identifiable; unfounded product liability claims for imitations can be dismissed.
