Roy Butcher, procurement manager at Southgate Packaging looks at the latest trends in anti-counterfeiting packaging technologies and how Covid-19 has played a major role in product innovation.
Over the past year, ensuring healthcare products are delivered to healthcare professionals and consumers safe and secure has been vital. While anti-counterfeiting technologies have long been an important component in the pharmaceutical supply chain, since the pandemic the demand has not only sky-rocketed but became a necessity.
Anti-counterfeit packaging is the process of assigning secure packaging to a product to minimise counterfeiting or infringement and in doing so, the product is then prevented from imitation and confirms the safety of the goods. In recent years the demand for anti-counterfeit packaging has continued to grow, with predictions that The Global Anti-Counterfeiting Packaging Market is estimated to develop at a rapid pace from 2021 to 2027.
