Brand Protection
The risks of counterfeiting to manufacturers grow daily. It is now apparent that gangs are actually copying traditional anti-counterfeiting measures, such as holograms, in order to ‘validate’ the counterfeit item.
SmartWater’s forensic technology now offers an alternative approach, allowing a manufacturer to incorporate a unique ‘molecular fingerprint’ within their product that can be used to track and identify the true authenticity of the item. Reliable traceability of a product’s provenance is now a reality with SmartWater Brand Protection.
Our revolutionary forensic coding system offers companies a limitless variety of valuable brand control applications. We offer a full support package to manufacturers, including consultancy, technical development and access to our analytical labs.
