Market sector

Pharma & Healthcare

Counterfeit medicine is a patient-safety problem before it is a commercial one. Falsified packs reach patients through legitimate-looking supply chains, and a pack that looks right is not enough.

Pharma & Healthcare products carrying Optrical security labels

The problem

What we see in this sector

  • Falsified product – wrong dose, wrong active ingredient, or none at all
  • Diverted stock – product sold outside its intended market or pricing tier
  • Refilled packaging – genuine cartons reused around counterfeit contents
  • Expiry tampering – over-labelled or altered date coding

The response

What we typically supply

  • Tamper-evident PSA labels
  • Carton seals
  • Per-unit codes with first-scan detection
  • Batch and expiry on scan

Both layers, one supplier

The physical label proves the carrier is genuine. The code proves this particular unit is. We make both, so they are specified together.
