Protect your products from 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, 3.3% of world trade is made up of counterfeit products. All industries are constantly facing counterfeiting problems, whether in medical equipment, electrical machinery, vehicles or even pharmaceuticals.

Counterfeit electronics alone account for more than $130 trillion in the United States and as counterfeiting technology improves, this is becoming increasingly common.

Paper or plastic logos, labels and graphics are some ways to protect the authenticity of a product, unfortunately they can be easily duplicated and manipulated.

The best way to protect your product

The safest way to protect your products against possible counterfeiting is to create 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 the help of micro-percussion equipment, users can create a unique 2D Matrix code that allows them to track and verify their products. Telesis LogoFont Generator® software creates customized fonts with slight modifications to correctly identify genuine products.

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

Laser marking system to combat counterfeiting

Telesis laser marking systems enable highly detailed, small 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 and customizable fonts according to the manufacturer's 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 way to avoid potential counterfeiting is to create very deep marks that cannot be removed without damaging the part with the Telesis F100 fiber laser marking equipment with Vari-Z ™. This is standard practice in numerous industries to prevent product tampering.

Telesis is a leading supplier of laser marking equipment 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, a wide line of lasers for industrial identification and traceability.
