Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions for Clothes & Accessories

Counterfeiting in the fashion industry has a substantial impact on manufacturers’ income and brand image. Cypheme offers a high-tech anti-counterfeit solution for fashion brands, designed to help prevent the spread of this global problem.

Counterfeiting in Fashion & Accessories

Counterfeiting has become rampant in the fashion and accessories industry. Fraud can take many forms, from brandjacking, to the illegal appropriation of designer logos, to gray markets and parallel imports. Unathorized factory overruns sold on the side cannot be distinguished from genuine, authorized products, and are impossible for traditional anti-counterfeiting technologies to address. Not only do these malpractices result in substantial revenue losses, but they also constitute unfair competition, making it difficult for brands to enter new markets and posing serious consequences for brand image.

The Risk to fashion labels

Aside from direct revenue loss, counterfeiting also poses other risks to your brand. Oftentimes, customers make the costly mistake of buying counterfeit products, leading them to associate their poor quality with your brand. Anti-counterfeiting for clothes is thus a necessary step for apparel brands looking to implement fashion gray-market prevention.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Solution for Fashion Brands

It might seem like there are no safe distribution channels for brands. In entire swathes of geographical areas (Asia, Africa, the Middle East), customers have no way to be sure they are buying authentic products, even when bought at full prices in seemingly legitimate shops.

That’s where Cypheme comes in, with Noise Print AI labels. This anti-counterfeiting label can be affixed to clothing, giving each garment a unique, impossible-to-duplicate identifier.

Anyone can use a smartphone camera to take a picture of this label and access the identifier with certainty and confidence. Buyers and resellers can authenticate products through an easily accessible Web app, which you can then integrate with your brand’s website. It’s never been easier to empower your customers to join the silent war on fakes.
