PrintID solution
The innovative track & trace solution for the protection of branded products
The next generation of anti-counterfeiting
scanify PrintID technology efficiently protects brand manufacturers and can be easily and cost-effectively integrated into the production process. With the forgery-proof and patented security feature scanify PrintID, products are marked completely invisibly in digital, offset or flexo printing, even on existing designs. The unique identification check for counterfeiting is carried out using an industrial camera or flexibly via iOS or Android smartphone.
How does scanify PrintID work?
The forgery-proof scanify PrintID feature can be printed as EU directive-compliant labelling on various materials such as packaging, labels or surfaces, for example on folding boxes, blister packs, product or textile labels. The integration of the scanify PrintID takes place in the last step of the filling process. In the patented process, the security feature, which is invisible to the human eye, is detected and verified using complex image processing algorithms. In addition, invisible data such as serial numbers or product data of several bytes can be hidden. The recognition and authentication takes place in real time on the device – without the need for an internet connection. The image processing steps are not known to counterfeiters, so the security feature cannot be copied.
