CERT™
Customizable, Easy-to-use, Reliable, Trustable
Are you one of those who like the convenience of QR codes but worry about the potential risk of phishing scams? CERT™, which combines holograms and QR codes, prevents scammers from creating counterfeit packaging with fake codes that appear genuine.
How does the dual-layer security work?
A CERT™ label consists of two parts, a customized hologram and a QR code that is scannable by a smartphone. The QR Code on the label serves as a gateway to a digital space where more product and brand information can be found. To protect customers from risks of phishing attacks, CERT™ solution not only provides a digital verification system that identifies the authenticity of the code before leading customers to a designated web page but also incorporates customized hologram for extra protection.
The refined 3D images and sophisticated optical effects featured in the customized hologram enable consumers to visually verify the authenticity of the label and the product. Holograms are widely recognized as reliable tools in deterring counterfeiters, due to the high technological barrier and difficulty of replication. When complemented with holograms, the security of QR codes is further enhanced.
Counterfeit products will endanger your customers and your brand reputation, so will fake QR codes. Let CERT™ protect your product, your customers, and your brand reputation from counterfeiters and cyberscammers.

FAQ
Q: How do I verify a product using my mobile phone?
A: Simply scan the QR code on the product label. A link will appear on your mobile screen—tap it to access the verification result instantly. No app download is required.
Q: If I can verify with a QR code, why is a hologram necessary?
A: When a hologram and QR code are combined on a single label, duplicating both elements becomes significantly more difficult. The added complexity and required technology raise the barrier for counterfeiters. Additionally, holograms can reveal signs of tampering, providing a layer of physical security and helping to ensure the product's integrity.
Q: Can CERT™ completely prevent counterfeiting?
A: No solution can guarantee 100% protection—even banknotes can be forged. However, CERT™ combines physical and digital verification, making counterfeiting substantially more difficult and expensive. This dual-layer approach offers a strong deterrent against fake products.
Q: What elements can be customized?
A: The most important customizable element is the hologram design, which is central to the value of our dual-shield protection solution. Its unique, unreplicable holographic effect ensures maximum security. Additionally, the verification webpage can be customized using our standard templates, and the backend service portal can be tailored to display your company's name.
*Additional customization beyond the current system can be discussed and implemented with reasonable fees.
Q: Does the webpage-based authentication have an expiration date?
A: The authentication service remains active as long as the annual maintenance fee is paid.
