The Counterfeit Problem
Counterfeiting is on the rise worldwide due to online retail and diversification of supply chains. It is calculated to have an economic impact of $1,7-4,5 Trillion per year
- 79% of consumers have purchased counterfeit products
- 60% of consumers are concerned about associated health and safety risks
Transformative Anti-Counterfeiting Technology
Molecular Gate SL is advancing a novel Polargram™ labelling technology based on printed polarisation contrast in ultrathin films of plastic ‘molecular electronic’ materials. No ultraviolet lamps, scanners or other specialised verification tools are required, thereby qualifying the technology as Level 1 or, by interfacing with ubiquitous hardware such as smartphones, a hybrid Level 1.5.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Polargram™ labelling technology is based around
Our patent-protected materials micro-processing technology
its proprietary trade-secret-protected adaptation to digital printing fabrication
end-user-centred verification concepts.
See-through Polargram™
Reflective Polargram™
Molecular Gate Level 1 anti-counterfeit technology offers the following added-value aspects with respect to state-of-the-art solutions
High security due to the use of cutting-edge materials and fabrication concepts.
Rapid verification with the naked eye or common LCD screens.
Versatile verification scenarios including see-through and reflected-light modes.
Flexibility of security image selection, including smartphone-scannable QR codes.
Low cost deriving from the underpinning thin-film technology (thickness » 100 nm) and correspondingly low required quantities of molecular electronic materials.
Printing-based fabrication aligned with digital drop-on-demand printing processes used in the packaging industry, therefore minimising the upscaling costs and time-to-market.
Intuitive and engaging consumer experience via the vivid colour-shifting optical effects resembling a classical hologram, thereby requiring minimal consumer re-education.
Complementing product aesthetics by harnessing a wide variety of available Polargram colours to harmonise the security features with the overall packaging design and enhance on-shelf presence.
