solutions that prevent counterfeiting and ensure product
authenticity.
The act of counterfeiting of commodities coming from different kind of industries has been on a steady rise for quite some time now.
This has resulted in original companies incurring huge losses because people are either buying fake products because they are unable to differentiate between the original and the knock-off.
Or because they want to have the good looking products without having to pay the sum required for the original one. It is important to you as a business owner to be aware of how such practice harms your business returns.
How it affects mother companies?
When you understand the implications of counterfeiting in the business world and how it can take a toll on your profit returns, you will be more inspired to safeguard the business from becoming a target of such practices. In most cases, the knockoffs made by these counterfeiting experts are in no way matching to the raw materials you use to make your products. Such a thing causes the counterfeited products sold in
In most cases, the knockoffs made by these counterfeiting experts are in no way matching to the raw materials you use to make the products. Such a thing causes the counterfeited products sold in the company’s name to be of cheaper quality rendering them far more perishable than the original ones. This results in a bad reputation of your brand among buyers who feel cheated and will not only avoid buying things from your label again but also bring
This results in a bad reputation of the brand among buyers who feel cheated and will not only avoid buying things from the label again but also bring the company bad reputation and publicity by talking about the commodities in a bad light.
Thus you need to end it!
It is no surprise, therefore, that you must put in productive and substantial action into running huge amounts of losses suffered at the hands of bad publicity and lesser returns.
Being more aware of what is being sold in the markets on the pretext of being under the label and registering the company’s encrypted trademarks is of rather immediate importance above all of the other business strategies.
So it is high time that you start using holographic labels on all the products and make sure these fakes do not cheat the customers.
The European Union’s upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) and serialization requirements, effective from 2026, are transforming how pharmaceuticals are packaged and traced across the supply chain. For Indian pharma exporters, this means digital-ready packaging is no longer optional — it’s essential for market access, compliance, and trust.
So, how can packaging evolve fast enough to meet these expectations? The answer lies in QR codes and tamper-evident labels — two smart technologies that bring traceability, authenticity, and transparency directly onto the pack.
1. The New EU Challenge: Digital Transparency at Every Level
Under the EU Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), every product entering the EU — including pharmaceuticals — must carry a Digital Product Passport (DPP). This digital record links each pack to verified data such as product origin, batch, composition, and regulatory certifications.
However, achieving compliance requires:
Unit-level serialization
Scannable digital identifiers
Tamper-proof packaging integrity
That’s where smart labeling comes into play.
2. QR Codes: Your Gateway to Digital Product Passports
QR codes have evolved far beyond simple barcodes. Modern secure and dynamic QR codes allow real-time verification, linking every individual pack to its digital passport in the cloud.
With secure QR codes, pharma exporters can:
Connect each product to a verified DPP record
Enable instant verification for customs officials, distributors, and patients
Detect counterfeits or unauthorized diversions
Track exports throughout the EU supply chain
When integrated with serialization, these QR codes become digital fingerprints — unique, tamper-evident, and compliant with EU’s interoperability standards.
3. Tamper-Evident Labels: The Physical Layer of Trust
While QR codes protect digital identity, tamper-evident labels safeguard physical authenticity. These labels reveal visible signs — such as “VOID” marks or holographic breaks — if anyone tries to remove or alter them.
Why they’re essential for compliance:
They ensure product integrity during transit
Serve as proof of non-interference and genuine origin
Complement serialization and DPP data by confirming physical security
Together, tamper-evident and QR-enabled labels bridge the physical and digital worlds, creating a robust defense against counterfeiting and regulatory breaches.
4. How These Technologies Work Together
When integrated, QR codes and tamper-evident labels deliver a two-tier protection model:
Layer
Function
Benefit
Digital Layer (QR Code)
Links each pack to live data and DPP
Enables authentication and traceability
Physical Layer (Tamper-Evident Label)
Shows visible signs of tampering
Ensures product safety and compliance integrity
This hybrid approach enables exporters to prove compliance instantly — both digitally and physically — meeting EU’s dual requirement of traceability and security.
5. Implementation Blueprint for Exporters
To align with the EU’s 2026 standards, Indian exporters should begin adopting these steps today:
Adopt Dynamic QR Codes: Implement secure, serialized QR codes linked to live cloud databases or blockchain.
Upgrade Labeling Infrastructure: Ensure your packaging lines support tamper-evident label application and QR code printing at the unit level.
Integrate with Track & Trace Systems: Synchronize label data with your ERP or MES to enable full supply chain visibility.
Partner with Trusted Solution Providers: Choose technology partners experienced in anti-counterfeit, serialization, and pharma-grade packaging.
6. Beyond Compliance: Building Trust and Value
Compliance may be the starting point, but smart labeling delivers much more:
Builds trust with regulators, distributors, and patients
Enhances brand reputation through transparency
Reduces counterfeit and recall risks
Positions your company as a future-ready exporter
By embracing smart packaging now, Indian pharma manufacturers can turn regulatory pressure into a competitive advantage.
Secure, Smart, and Ready for 2026
The EU’s digital packaging regulations are reshaping global pharma trade — and Indian exporters who act early will lead the way. By combining secure QR codes and tamper-evident labels, you can ensure every shipment is authentic, traceable, and regulation-ready.
At Lasersec Technologies, we specialize in pharma-grade anti-counterfeit solutions — from dynamic QR codes to tamper-evident holographic labels and complete Track & Trace integration. Let’s help you make your exports compliant, secure, and globally trusted.
Future-proof your packaging — one secure label at a time.
You’ve secured your product. You’ve set up authentication. But somehow, fakes are still slipping through—especially in markets like India, Africa, and Latin America.
Why?
Because one-size-fits-all protection doesn’t work in a world where every region plays by different rules.
In high-risk markets, the threats aren’t just common—they’re constantly evolving. For global brands, the key isn’t just stronger protection. It’s smarter, localized protection that meets people where they are.
Your brand may be global, but the challenges you face aren’t:
India – Counterfeit medicines often enter through informal supply chains in semi-urban and rural regions.
Africa – Fake electronics and unauthorized imports disrupt trusted retail networks, often due to weak enforcement.
LATAM – Counterfeit FMCG products share shelf space with genuine ones, confusing customers and weakening trust.
Each region needs more than just a label or code—it needs context-aware solutions that align with how local consumers buy, verify, and trust.
You care about your product. Your customers should feel that—whether they’re in a remote village or a bustling market.
A generic solution may look good on paper, but in practice, it often fails: 1. Assumes strict enforcement exists everywhere (it doesn’t) 2. Relies on stable internet (not always available) 3. Expects every consumer to understand how to verify (many don’t)
If your strategy doesn’t meet local realities, it can’t truly protect your product—or your promise.
Real Protection, Tailored for India, Africa and Latin America
In India’s semi-urban and rural areas, simplicity is key.
A breakable seal, paired with a GS1-compliant scannable QR or SMS code, allows patients to verify authenticity in seconds—even without an app.
Pharmacies use a lightweight Track & Trace dashboard to log stock movement and report suspicious entries instantly.
Multilingual alerts ensure the system works for non-English speakers.
Brands use scratch-off serial codes verified through WhatsApp—no separate app or internet login required.
Distributors are equipped with basic handheld scanners or mobile verification tools to validate products at every checkpoint.
Real-time alerts flag suspicious batches, enabling fast containment.
In Latin America’s open markets, brand trust is everything:
Products carry tamper-evident labels embedded with dynamic QR codes that offer rewards or authenticity tips upon scanning.
Customers can instantly check if a product is genuine while engaging with the brand.
Campaigns create awareness, making verification part of the everyday purchase habit.
What Should You Be Asking?
What’s really happening in each of your key markets?
Are you protecting your riskiest product lines first?
Can your end customer easily verify your product?
Do your tools adapt to local behaviors and tech access?
If you’re unsure—it’s time to rethink the approach.
The Difference It Makes
Fakes drop where protection fits the environment
Consumers feel seen and empowered
Local teams feel equipped, not overwhelmed
Your brand stays respected and trusted, even in tough markets
This isn’t about spending more—it’s about spending smarter.
When your anti-counterfeit strategy aligns with real market conditions, you do more than block counterfeiters—you build long-term trust.
Because in the end, effective protection isn’t just a technical system. It’s a message: We understand your market. We respect your safety.
At Lasersec Technologies, we design region-specific anti-counterfeit solutions that blend holographic security, track & trace, and phygital engagement tools. From SMS-based verification to WhatsApp-integrated checks, we help global brands stay a step ahead—with no guesswork.
You’ve secured the order, production is complete, and your shipment is ready to move. But then, just before dispatch, your buyer asks:
“Does your packaging meet serialization and scan-based proof requirements?”
Imagine losing a million-dollar contract — not because of your medicine, but because your packaging failed to inspire trust. This is the reality many exporters face today. For global buyers, packaging has become the deciding factor between smooth delivery and a deal falling apart.
Why Packaging Standards Are Now Non-Negotiable
Global buyers are under pressure from regulators, distributors, and patients. They must ensure every product they source is traceable, authentic, and tamper-proof. That means export-ready packaging is no longer optional — it’s the foundation of international trade.
Key compliance must-haves include:
Track & Trace Systems – complete product visibility across the supply chain
Serialization – unique identifiers that meet global compliance norms
Tamper-Evident Features – seals or packaging that immediately reveal interference
Scan-Based Proof – QR codes or secure markings enabling instant authentication
Without these, buyers see risk — and in today’s market, risk means rejection. It’s not just about checking compliance boxes. Buyers want reassurance that:
Their shipments won’t face customs delays due to packaging gaps
They won’t be caught in regulatory disputes in importing countries
They can confidently show stakeholders a secure supply chain
For exporters, this transforms packaging into a proof of credibility. It’s no longer just a container — it’s part of your business reputation.
Regional Buyer Expectations: One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Every region enforces its own regulations. Understanding them isn’t just smart — it’s survival.
Region
Key Packaging Expectations
What It Means for Exporters
European Union (EU)
Strict serialization under the FMD (Falsified Medicines Directive) with database-driven verification.
Packs must be registered and verifiable via EU hub. Non-compliant shipments are rejected at borders.
Exporters must ensure their systems “talk” with US buyers’ systems for seamless data exchange.
Middle East & Africa
High counterfeit risks demand visible tamper-evidence + secure scan codes.
Buyers expect seals and markings they can verify instantly at distributor level.
According to the WHO, 1 in 10 medical products in low- and middle-income countries is substandard or falsified — highlighting why MEA and APAC buyers demand extra layers of security.
Before shipping, ask yourself:
Does every pack carry a unique, scannable serialization code?
Is there a tamper-evident seal that cannot be replaced unnoticed?
Can my systems generate and share serialization data with buyers?
Do I have scan-based proof of authenticity ready for customs or audits?
If the answer is “no” to any of these, your packaging isn’t truly export-ready.
Indian pharma is globally respected for high-quality medicines. But as regulations tighten, packaging standards are becoming the new benchmark for trust.
Those who adapt quickly — with serialization, secure QR codes, and tamper-evident solutions — will stand out as reliable partners. On the other hand, exporters who delay risk losing contracts, not because of product quality, but because their packaging didn’t pass the credibility test.
Global buyers are no longer asking if your packaging is compliant — they’re asking how quickly you can prove it.
Export-ready packaging is now a business advantage, not just a compliance step. For exporters preparing to expand globally, investing in the right packaging solutions is no longer optional.
Because in today’s market, packaging isn’t just protecting your product — it’s protecting your growth.
At Lasersec Technologies, we partner with pharma exporters to ensure their packaging meets global serialization, traceability, and anti-counterfeit standards — helping you ship with confidence and win global trust.
India’s pharmaceutical landscape is undergoing a transformation — and packaging is at the center of it. With the CDSCO’s new QR code and serialization mandates, every exported pharma product must now be secure, traceable, and tamper-evident.
For manufacturers, especially SMEs, this can feel like a complex compliance challenge. But there’s a powerful, proven solution already within reach: Holographic Blister Packaging.
1. The New CDSCO Reality
To curb counterfeit drugs and ensure authenticity across the supply chain, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) now requires export-bound pharmaceutical products to carry:
Secure and scannable QR codes
Unique serialization at batch or unit level
Tamper-evident features on primary packaging
This means your packaging must do more than look professional — it must communicate trust, security, and transparency to regulators, distributors, and patients worldwide.
2. Why Holographic Blister Packaging Foils Are the Ideal Fit
Holographic blister foils are designed not just for visual appeal, but for multi-layered protection. They merge optical security, digital traceability, and physical tamper resistance — all in one compact, cost-effective solution.
Key advantages include:
Built-in Anti-Counterfeit Security: Complex holographic patterns, diffractive designs, and hidden laser effects make duplication nearly impossible.
Tamper-Evident Layering: Any attempt to peel or alter the foil leaves visible damage — ensuring that the product cannot be resealed or reused undetected.
QR & Serialization Integration: Holographic foils can seamlessly integrate dynamic QR codes and serialized data, allowing regulators and end-users to instantly verify product authenticity.
Regulatory Compliance: They fulfill the CDSCO’s core requirements — secure labeling, traceability, and anti-tampering — without requiring major production line changes.
Supply Chain Visibility: When linked to digital Track & Trace systems, each blister pack becomes part of a transparent, verifiable export network.
3. How It Works
Each holographic blister foil is embedded with security layers visible and invisible to the naked eye.
When printed with unique serial numbers or QR codes, it creates a dual-authentication system:
Layer
Function
Benefit
Optical Security (Holography)
Visually identifiable design that’s impossible to replicate
Instant brand and regulatory authentication
Digital Security (QR + Serialization)
Unique, scannable identity for every pack
Enables verification and traceability
Tamper Evidence
Irreversible visual damage on interference
Prevents resealing or counterfeit replacement
This layered approach makes it extremely difficult for counterfeiters to reproduce or reuse packaging — offering compliance with confidence.
4. Why SMEs Should Choose Holographic Blister Packaging
Unlike large-scale digital upgrades, holographic blister foils are scalable, adaptable, and cost-efficient. For SMEs, this means:
No heavy capital investment in new lines
Immediate enhancement of regulatory readiness
Compatibility with existing packaging formats
Added brand value in export markets
It’s a simple way to make your products CDSCO-compliant and globally credible — without the complexity of building new infrastructure.
5. Beyond Compliance: Building Trust Across Borders
The global pharma supply chain thrives on transparency. By adopting holographic blister foils, Indian exporters not only meet CDSCO and international labeling mandates but also strengthen brand trust with distributors and healthcare professionals abroad.
Regulators see transparency.
Distributors see authenticity.
Patients see safety.
And your brand earns long-term credibility in every market it reaches.
Secure, Scalable, and Future-Ready
The CDSCO’s labeling mandates are here to stay — but compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.
