Challenges
Counterfeiting is one of a host of complex and rapidly evolving security risks faced by brands and companies. SICPA offers a variety of adapted solutions to safeguard your products against emerging security challenges.
Counterfeit products (B2B or B2C) are fake copies of original products that are made and sold with the intention of deceiving people to make money. These fake products may look like the real ones, but they are often made with lower quality materials and methods that can be harmful to people’s health and safety.
Product adulteration involves deliberately making changes to products by replacing and/or partially diluting it's content to re-use original packaging for a lucrative purpose and subsequently deceive consumers.
Return and warranty fraud involves the illicit practice of purchasing, altering, and returning products for compensation, leading to substantial financial losses and an increased presence of substandard goods in the market.
Grey, or “parallel”, market diversion is when individuals or businesses use illegal or non-compliant sales channels to sell products.
Unauthorised or third-shift production refers to the production and sale of undeclared products on the black market by legally authorised manufacturers or entities.

These include witness, tamper-evident seals, shrink sleeves, and smart labels, and they are customised to respond to the needs of our clients.
Product Security Solutions
SICPA's Product Security Solutions are security solutions that are directly applied to or into the product, ensuring it's authenticity.
We provide different product security solutions that can include overt or covert security features. For instance, a covert machine-readable security marker can be integrated into inks or other vectors.
Packaging Security Solutions
Our packaging security solutions are directly applied onto the primary or secondary packaging of a product.
Overt or covert security features are applied to various types of packaging, such as blisters for pharmaceutical products, caps and films for the wine & spirits sector.
