Brand Protection and Track ‘n Trace

Studies estimate that the cost of counterfeiting branded goods has grown to $1.8 trillion dollars per year and is expanding over 15% every year.

Most people think that counterfeit products only affect a company through lost sales revenue. In reality, the cost is much higher. Companies loose billions of dollars a year due to:

• Rapidly eroding brand perception in the marketplace if consumers are disappointed with an unwittingly purchased counterfeit product
• Expensive and reputation-damaging product recalls and liability claims from consumers using counterfeit products
• Consumers that avoid a brand for two years after a bad experience, and 45% of them share bad experiences on social media

Since early 2000 we have been providing Brand Protection options for our clients.  Adcraft has invested time and resources in R&D to develop a full portfolio of options, some of which are proprietary and patented, in order to help our clients defend their brand.

• Overt: visual security features such as holograms, 3D Effect, color shifting and reactive inks
• Covert: security features such as IR Taggants and Micro/Nano markers that are hidden and hard to detect unless using special equipment
• Forensic: similar to DNA and can stand up in a court of law
• Track and Trace: handheld devices used to follow a product and determine who handles it globally
• Layered Security: using several types of security features in concert giving a brand multiple ways to validate authenticity and defend against counterfeits
• Irreversible void if opened features
