What is an anti-counterfeiting label?
💡 💡 At a Glance
Anti-counterfeiting labels are security identifiers used to verify authenticity and prevent counterfeiting. Common types include laser holographic, QR code, frangible paper, thermochromic, fluorescent, microtext, and VOID anti-counterfeiting. Modern anti-counterfeiting often adopts multi-technology combination solutions.
An anti-counterfeiting label is a security identifier attached to a product, used to verify authenticity, prevent counterfeiting, and trace the source. It integrates printing technology, materials science, and information technology, and is an important means of brand protection.
Common types of anti-counterfeiting labels
- Laser holographic anti-counterfeiting: Uses laser holographic imaging technology to present three-dimensional dynamic patterns that are difficult to replicate
- QR code anti-counterfeiting: Scan the code to verify, each label has a unique code, supports traceability and data statistics
- Frangible paper anti-counterfeiting: When peeled, the label breaks and cannot be restored, preventing transfer and reuse
- Thermochromic anti-counterfeiting: Changes color or develops pattern when heated, can be verified by touch
- Fluorescent anti-counterfeiting: Displays hidden patterns under UV light, highly concealed
- Microtext anti-counterfeiting: Tiny text that is difficult to see with the naked eye, requires a magnifying glass to view
- VOID anti-counterfeiting: Leaves a VOID or customized text mark when peeled, clearly indicating it has been opened
Trends in technical combination for anti-counterfeiting labels
Modern anti-counterfeiting has evolved from single technology to multi-technology combinations. For example, combining laser holography with QR codes satisfies both the intuitive nature of physical anti-counterfeiting and the accuracy of digital verification along with data traceability functions.
How to choose an anti-counterfeiting solution
Choosing an anti-counterfeiting label requires considering: product value (high-value products require stronger anti-counterfeiting), usage scenario (online/offline/cross-border), consumer experience (whether the verification method is convenient), and budget (costs vary greatly between different technologies).

❓ FAQ
Are anti-counterfeiting labels expensive?
The cost varies depending on the technical complexity. Basic QR code anti-counterfeiting labels have a lower cost, while physical anti-counterfeiting technologies such as laser holography are slightly more expensive. LeXiang will recommend the most cost-effective solution based on the product positioning.
Is QR code anti-counterfeiting secure?
Yes, it is secure. Using one code per item, encryption algorithms, and server verification mechanisms, combined with query frequency monitoring and anomaly warnings, it effectively prevents mass replication and forgery.
Can anti-counterfeiting labels be customized in small quantities?
Yes. LeXiang supports small-batch customization of anti-counterfeiting labels, suitable for new product testing or limited edition products. QR code anti-counterfeiting labels are especially suitable for small batch needs.
How can consumers verify an anti-counterfeiting label?
Different technologies have different verification methods: for QR codes, scan to verify; for laser/fluorescent types, observe with the naked eye or UV lamp; also supports telephone, website, and other multi-channel verification.
