4 Fabulous Anti-Counterfeiting Packaging Design Solutions for eCommerce Products

Counterfeit is one of the significant global challenges faced by brands and consumers. The data says, more than 86% of brands believe their reputation gets negatively impacted due to the selling of counterfeit products in the market. 

Counterfeit products are everywhere, from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, even in clothing and electronic gadgets; every major brand suffers heavily because of fake products. According to Acviss, the counterfeit industry in India is around $2.7 billion (Rs. 20,000 crores), or roughly 0.37% of the total retail industry. 

It also shows that counterfeit goods in B2B and B2C brands can be as high as 20% of the market, depending upon the categories. But, the good news is brands are already setting aside a portion of their incomes as legal fees to fight against counterfeits. 

In the last blog, we already discussed some in-depth details about the anti-counterfeit and types of anti-counterfeit solutions that can help brands fight against counterfeit. 

To dig more into the solutions, here are 4 Fabulous Anti-Counterfeit packaging design solutions to help you out.

Anti-counterfeiting packaging for eCommerce products has become the ‘go-to solution’ to reduce counterfeit fraud, economic damages, and other crimes. Globally, many types of anti-counterfeit solutions, both covert and overt, are used by brands to fight counterfeiting. 

The anti-counterfeit packaging market will grow by $211.3 Bn by 2026.  The market globally has witnessed wide-scale escalation with the rise in demand in healthcare, pharmaceutical, F & B, and other sectors. 

Anti-Counterfeit packaging design solutions involve holograms, 2D barcodes, RIF, and other solutions to prevent the imitation and production of an unauthorized replica of original products.

4 Fabulous Anti-Counterfeit Packaging Solutions

The counterfeit solution has taken more profound in the last few years with the increase in online shopping to bring more severe problems. The difficulties lie in identifying the original product compared with the replicated one, which almost looks like the original one. 

‍

Here are a few solutions that might help you out- 

‍

1. Anti-Tampering Solutions

Tampering with brand package alerts customers to foul play or damage to that product. In addition, when the packages are attempted to open or manipulated, there is evidence left behind, like broken seals, tamper tape damage, change in labeling, and more.

A typical example of an Anti-Tampering packaging design is when the food containers are packed with tight seals. The lid cannot be removed without breaking the seal and thus indicating to customers that the food has been tampered. 

‍

‍

Here are some anti-tampering solutions- 

  • Gummed Paper Tape: It is an excellent anti-tampering packaging solution. It is the cost-effective and easiest way to seal brand packaging. Once the gummed paper tape has adhered to the package, it creates a permanent bond with the packaging box. Anyone who attempts to separate the tape shows signs of tampering and damage.
  • Shrink Bands: Shrink bands, also called seal bands, are more user-friendly and are a ring made of soft plastics. The ring is put around the product’s cap, such as cold drink bottles, pickle jars, medicinal bottles, and more. 
  • Tamper Evident Tape: Tamper-evident tape utilizes a security seal for shipping pallets, boxes, crates, or delivery packs. Removing the tape will cause it to destroy itself and leave a message reading: “Opened.” It indicates that an unauthorized person tried to open the package and tampered with it. 
  • Security Labels: Security labels contain serial numbers and bar codes that help brands track and monitor valuable assets throughout manufacture till it reaches the end consumer. It also helps to track and monitor the package during transit and protect it from imposters or getting misplaced.
  • Cable Security Seals: Cable security seals usually combine plastic and metal wires that prevent counterfeit products. Cable seals allow for more versatile usage, have a variable lengths locking mechanism, and provide ideal temper evidence for smaller aperture applications like utility meters, drums, containers, and more.

2. Ai-Monitored Technology

‍

‍

With the advancement in technology, the anti-counterfeit methods bank on AI-enabled serialization technology to secure unique and traceable identities for products. These are powered with different codes and tags like QR, NFC, or RFID to safeguard brands. 

These codes are applied directly to the products and monitored using AI through clouds. The software scans the condition of products inside the package and tracks the product as it moves from the warehouse till it reaches the end-user in real-time. 

For example, the healthcare industry uses advanced technology to scan documents, and images, identify signs of potential counterfeiting, and flag them for review by a human analyst. In addition, AI can help identify markers unique to certain types of drugs or packaging materials and size changes commonly seen on drug packages. 

‍

3. NFC Tags 

‍

‍

NFC chips, called near-field communication chips, are silicon components used to fight counterfeit with the “Rolling code” as an exclusive feature using microchips. Customers can scan the code printed on the brand package design using their smartphones or other smart devices to track and read the data to check the product's authenticity.

The rolling code changes whenever a smartphone has tapped the chip. If the server finds repeated UID or the code doesn’t match the UID on the server, it will notify the authority or customers that the product is fake. 

For example, the Gucci brand uses tags to help learn more about your item and how it was created following traditional Italian artisanal methods. In addition, it allows customers to understand the product's authenticity, thus working as an anti-counterfeit system. 

‍

4. Blockchain

‍

‍

Blockchain is an immutable ledger that can store and record transactions, track assets, and provide transparency of products. Data is stored in the form of blocks that are linked with the product and paired with IoT technologies. 

In addition, it improves traceability and end-to-end product tracking across all industries in real-time. With blockchain, brands can ensure quality checks at every level, from production to transit and delivery. Smart tags like NFC chips, QR codes, and RFID are integral to the blockchain-powered solution. 

The tags are attached to the product to identify the place of manufacture, track location, and assign specific information that customers and authorities can read when scanned. In addition, it enables customers to access the history of the product, whether it's new or used and is real or fake. 

For example,  Smart innovative food packaging design incorporates sensors that detect bacterial growth and the condition of the foodstuff.
