Rochester, NY, April 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE VerifyMe, Inc. (OTCQB: VRME) (the “Company”), a digital security, authentication and tracking technology solutions provider, and Niagara Label (“Niagara”), a western New York label manufacturer with 33 years experience, today announced the signing of a license agreement for Niagara to incorporate VerifyMe’s brand protection technology solutions to brand owners throughout the United States.

VerifyMe’s technologies are approved and supported by Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) Indigo Series 3 digital printing presses. HP markets VerifyMe’s security invisible ink technology as “ElectroInk Security 523”. Our partner, S-One Labels & Packaging (S-One LP), manages sales and marketing of VerifyMe products.
This global agreement will place VerifyMe’s digital security, authentication and tracking technology solutions in the hands of brand owners who seek to secure and track their products and goods from counterfeiters. The contract entails the leasing of VerifyMe’s Smart Phone authentication devices, which read the invisible RainbowSecure codes into the cloud and are recorded in the Company’s serialization, track and trace software platform called, VeriPAS. These devices are expected to be leased by Niagara Label brand owners and investigators, which will result in a recurring revenue and high gross margin business model for VerifyMe.
In conjunction with the smart phone reading device, the VeriPAS cloud-based software gives brand owners the ability to monitor, control and protect their products life cycle. This software resides in the cloud and brand owners access it over the internet. The software generates serialization codes which the brand owner purchases from VerifyMe. These codes are then printed on labels and packaging in both visible codes for consumers to engage and invisible codes known as RainbowSecure which trained brand inspectors review with our reading device.
VerifyMe Chief Executive Officer Patrick White commented, “Licensing is heating up. We are thrilled to have secured this agreement with Niagara Label who is a premier Western New York label manufacturer. The close proximity to our Rochester, NY headquarters provides VerifyMe an excellent venue to showcase the technologies to major brand owners who have sought help from us in protecting their brands from product diversion and counterfeiting. Its important to note that Niagara’s business covers a wide range of industries and brands including the burgeoning cannabis packaging industry that requires our technologies more than other types of productsdue to the strict state by state regulatory requirements.”

Our customer base of brand owners have increasingly experienced counterfeiting of their products or goods and have expressed a desire for a technology solution to mediate these issues to protect their brand and improve their profitability.We believe VerifyMe’s technology provides a high value-add solution that our brand owners will seek to deploy. We look forward to working with VerifyMe’s team in rolling this out to our existing and new customers.”
