Driven by the anti-counterfeit strategies of stakeholders, the focus of our anti-counterfeit solution was secondary packaging. The field of application has soon been extended to primary packaging and then to various different industries such as tobacco, precious metals and automotive lubricants. This in turn provides the best protection against counterfeiting. More about those fields of application can be read in https://alpvision.com/industries.
