Protect your products against counterfeiting with Dot Peen and Laser Marking

January 23, 2023 By: Staff Vinssa

According to a 2018 study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 3.3% of global trade consists of counterfeit products. All industries are constantly facing counterfeiting challenges - whether in medical equipment, electrical machinery, vehicles or even pharmaceuticals.

Counterfeit electronics alone account for over $130 billion in losses in the United States as counterfeiting technology improves, these incidents are becoming increasingly common.

While paper or plastic logos, labels, and graphics are traditional methods to protect product authenticity, they can be easily duplicated or manipulated, making them insufficient on their own.

The best way to protect your product

The most effective way to safeguard your products against counterfeiting is by creating a permanent mark that makes it difficult or impossible to counterfeit.

At VINSSA we offer top-quality Telesis equipment to make these marks to help you combat this crime that can damage the profits of your company.

Marking by micro-percussion to prevent counterfeiting

With Telesis micro-percussion equipment, users can create a unique 2D Matrix code that allows them to track and verify their products. The LogoFont Generator® software creates customized fonts with slight to help distinguish genuine products.

Telesis PINSTAMP® systems allow marking with different types of tips. This feature in addition to the ability to mark at different depths creates a unique “fingerprint” for secure product identification.

Laser marking system to combat counterfeiting

Telesis laser marking systems enable highly detailed and compact 2D Matrix codes to be marked. These codes can be hidden under paint or in an area that is not visible without special lighting. The Merlin® software allows the creation of unique, customizable fonts and graphics to suit each manufacturer's specific needs.

In addition, these lasers also have the ability to create highly detailed graphics, that in conjunction with the additional special markings are impossible to duplicate without the original file. The all-in-one Telesis UV / one™ laser allows for micro-prints that are undetectable to the human eye. It is even possible to combine a graphic for embedding and a micromark, hiding the microprint within the graphic.

Another proven anti-counterfeiting technique is deep engraving that cannot be removed without damaging the product. This is possible with the Telesis F100 fiber laser marking equipment with Vari-Z ™ technology - an industry-standard approach to deter tampering and unauthorized alterations.

Telesis is a global leader in industrial laser marking systems and software. Their technology possesses the ability to create a customized counterfeiting process that is impossible to imitate.

At VINSSA we are official distributors of Telesis laser marking systems, offering a complete range of solutions for industrial identification and traceability.
