Anti-counterfeit tracers to protect cigarettes and alcohol in China
ANTI-counterfeiting group YPB says it has started to supply invisible tracer, ink master batch and scanners to its customers in China. The company says the contracts are worth up to $26 million. The technology will be instrumental in protecting hundreds of millions of items in China from counterfeiting. As a result of these contracts, YPB has significantly ramped up its tracer production capacity to meet the requirements. Major clients for YPB include Shenzhen Shensaier, which will use the YPB tracer and scanner technology to protect its tobacco products, and Hicap Closures, which supplies bottle closures. The YPB tracer technology will be applied to protect up to 2 billion bottle closures, cigarette packs and alcohol bottles, through the ink on the labels.
