FMCG Case Study Smart Packaging With Brand Protection
FMCG Case Study Smart Packaging With Brand Protection
How is Nabcore able to help Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company to prevent loss
revenue due to fakes, and regain market share?
Overview:
PROFILE OF CUSTOMER:
A FMCG brand of products that promises to provide quality, good value products for
consumers in the lifestyle sector. Their products are being distributed across South-East
Asia. Due to their good value proposition, the products are often being counterfeited across
S.E Asia region. Consumers have difficulties to determine the genuine ones from fakes in the
market.
CHALLENGES:
• To incorporate authentication solution for easy consumer verification onto over 100
million product packaging without disrupting current production.
SOLUTIONS:
Nabcore has worked to design and implement suitable brand protection solution onto
individual products without affecting the operations for large volume production.
We design and supply the solutions by combining both Hidden Physical Security, Overt &
Covert Digital Security technologies. This is to create a unique interlocking solution.
The solutions are printed directly onto the product packaging, suitable for High Speed
production run.
Product Authentication
By designing and crafting unique identity mark: The Anti-Copy Security QR code into a
normal packaging, we turn them into Smart Packaging. Consumers are able to easily
authenticate by scanning their purchase with mobile phones. In the process, brand owner
can engage with consumers and also gain visibility on distribution channels.
We work with customer’s appointed printer to print onto each product packaging. The
security QR code is incorporated into the design of the packaging and printed as per normal
artwork using offset machine needed for high volume operations. The requirement for
printing the code is at least 200 lines per inch (for offset printer) or 600 dpi (for digital
printer).
This requirement is achievable for the FMCG’s printing house as they are considered basic
resolution and falls within the printing machines capability. Hence, there is no additional
process step needed in implement our security code solution.
In locations where internet connection is weak or not available, distributors and retailers are
able to verify the hidden physical security.
We proposed suitable invisible UV Security inks for cost effective and fast verification. Other
types of security inks are also deployed whenever required. Eg: Photochromatic inks.
Conductive inks. Allow brand owner and their distributors to use special device to verify.
When consumers scanned fake FMCG products with copied security QR code, the locations
can be detected and display in the heatmap (as below) down to the street level. The FMCG
company would able to analyse and gain visibility on where the fake products are primarily
at. This give insights to where potential fake products are being manufactured and/or sold.
• We value our customer and will go all out to ensure our customers are satisfied. We
constantly upgrading the solution implemented to ensure Smarter solutions,
Empower big data analysis, Strengthen consumer engagement and Increase sales for
brand owner.
