Is it useful to implement a security feature? It depends. If a security feature is implemented, but not used to prevent or fight against counterfeiting, then it is useless. It is important to use a security feature to take action against counterfeiting. For instance, brands can have inspectors go into shops and hire people to do test purchases. If the feature is available for consumers, communicate that so that it is widely used. As a conclusion, if something is done about it, then it is useful to implement an anti-counterfeit feature. For example, AlpVision provides Brand Monitoring System; a central server that allows you to see detection statistics that assist you in taking appropriate actions.

Is the security of the anti-counterfeit feature the most important point? When selecting a security feature, should you focus on the security as the most important point? Surprisingly, no. That is, if you choose a covert security feature, as they are very difficult to replicate. At AlpVision, we haven’t seen any counterfeits of our features in more than 20 years. Instead, you should first focus on the complexity of the implementation. Would it change your production process? What are the costs associated with those changes? AlpVision solutions are designed to integrate smoothly into your processes so that you can avoid any changes to your production. Second, you should consider the usage of the security feature. Indeed, the goal of implementing an anti-counterfeit feature is to reduce the number of counterfeits. How would you use the selected feature to reach this goal? For example, AlpVision provides Brand Monitoring System; a central server that allows you to see detection statistics that assist you in taking appropriate actions.

What is the size of the anti-counterfeiting market? It is often presented as 100 biliion dollar market. Why is that? It is the theoretical loss every year, if we multiply the number of counterfeited products by the price at which they should have been sold. However, that is not the real market size. The real size of the anti-counterfeiting market is how much brands are willing to pay to fight counterfeits multiplied by the number of brands. This is more a 100 million dollar market. Why is that? Brand owners want the most secure solution at the lowest unit price. Alpvision security features are particularly useful for large volumes, as their price is essentially based on the right to operate or a yearly royalty. Contact us to get more information :
