The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown has provided counterfeiters more opportunities to capitalize on consumer vulnerabilities, given shortages in multiple product categories. This is primarily due to high demand and disruptions in the supply chain, as most manufacturing operations have been scaled down or suspended. The limited availability of products in the market across various sectors is creating a vacuum and may influence intermediaries to capture the market by supplying counterfeit and/or expired products.
“Security printing using sophisticated HP Indigo digital presses and partner solutions such as VerifyMe make it possible to add overt and covert elements that help both brand owners and consumers avoid falling victim to the rising threat of counterfeiting,” stated, Yoav Lotan, HP Indigo Labels Business Manager, Asia Pacific, HP Inc.
Patrick White, CEO of VerifyMe, Inc. added, “It is with great pleasure to work together with our strategic partner, HP Indigo to showcase our collective security technologies to combat the deadly scourge of counterfeiting. In my opinion, in collaboration with HP Indigo we have developed the most effective anti-counterfeiting technologies known to date. Brand owners and label and packaging manufactures need to work towards implementing these technologies for the safety of their customers.”
VerifyMe's pigment products have been incorporated with HP Indigo's ElectroInk for use in packaging, label authentication, anti-counterfeiting and covert item level serialization for supply chain and distribution security.
The RainbowSecure™ solution is powered by HP Indigo and is available from VerifyMe to HP Indigo digital printing press customers. It includes a security ElectroInk and VerifyMe reader and authentication tool that can be used with HP security ElectroInk.
