Brand protection
Vape industry
The vape market continues to grow and mature, but it also faces growing challenges throughout the supply chain. Big brands in the sector have seen significant counterfeiting attacks, while the rise in unregulated illicit vape products making their way into the retail market continues to blight the reputation of the sector. These challenges pose risks to consumer safety and have far-reaching ramifications on both economic stability and brand reputation for those authentic brands operating within the industry.
Active industry threats
Legitimate brands lose revenue due to diversion, pure counterfeiting, refilling and harvesting activities, illicit and unregulated products, as well as the harm done to their brands reputation when substandard products enter the market.
Our solution
A comprehensive brand protection strategy must safeguard products from manufacturing through the entire supply chain and beyond the point of sale. This is achieved by combining advanced digital track-and-trace capabilities with PURE™ and IZON®, two of the world’s most secure labels, designed to seamlessly integrate into brand protection programs.
By assigning each product a unique, serialized, and highly secure label, brands can track product movement, verify authenticity, and detect counterfeit activity. When combined with consumer and inspector verification applications, real-time market insights are gathered into the Traceology® database, enabling brand managers to quickly analyze data and pinpoint areas of concern.
Secure labels
High-security holographic labels and hot stamping foils play a crucial role in brand protection, offering visual authentication and tamper-evident security that is difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. Holography remains a key element of any brand protection solution due to the versatility of effects, which are hard for counterfeiters to replicate.
By combining physical security features with digital authentication technology, secure labels provide multi-layered protection, ensuring products remain authentic throughout the entire supply chain.
