What Are QR Codes?
QR Codes in Anti-Counterfeiting
Innovations in QR codes have advanced the anti-counterfeiting movement significantly. When combined with non-clonable encryption, QR codes provide a verification layer that leaves no viable path for duplication. The uniqueness and non-cloneability factor offered by advanced QR labels gives brands a decisive advantage in preventing counterfeiting.
The codes are scanned using a smartphone or a QR code reader, which interprets the pattern and retrieves the stored data. They have found applications in various industries, including marketing, transportation, healthcare, and ticketing. These labels are particularly used for anti-counterfeiting in major industries.

Yes, QR codes can be scanned using camera applications on most smartphones. Many phones have built-in readers accessible through the camera app. Some advanced non-clonable codes may require a specific, custom-branded application to read the encrypted layer.
Normally, standard QR codes can be copied. Although it may not be simple, the possibilities are high. That is why advanced non-clonable 2D codes are being widely implemented across industries to fight counterfeiting and tampering. These codes carry encrypted server-side validation that detects duplicates even when the visual code appears identical.
Yes. QR codes can be linked to unique identifiers that track a product's movement through the supply chain, from manufacturing to retail. This helps businesses improve efficiency, prevent counterfeiting, and maintain accurate distribution records.
A standard QR code is a static pattern that can be photographed and reprinted exactly. A non-clonable QR code contains an encrypted layer tied to a specific product unit and verified server-side. Even if the visual code is copied, the server detects the duplicate scan and flags the product as suspicious.
