Will the code affect our product or packaging design?

No. The code is invisible and inscribed submicron into the material itself, so artwork, finish and regulatory dossiers stay exactly as they are.

Can counterfeiters copy the mark?

There is nothing on the surface to scan or photograph. The microstructure code appears only momentarily under vapor and is etched into the substrate, making replication virtually impossible.

How does this fit alongside our existing serialization?

SNOWLEOPARD® sits at the covert Level 2 tier and layers beneath overt features and forensic markers, strengthening rather than replacing existing QR, barcode or track-and-trace programmes.

How is it integrated into production?

Desktop-size systems run inline or off-line, and high-speed web-film systems are fully customizable. Equipment runs 24/7 on ordinary electricity with no inks, lasers, solvents or consumables.

Industry & Electronics

Keep counterfeit components out of critical assemblies

Fake semiconductors and spare parts enter supply chains through brokers and grey markets. SNOWLEOPARD® marks boards, housings and connectors indelibly for incoming inspection.

The Threat

Component fraud with safety consequences

Relabelled, recycled and out-of-spec parts reach aerospace, automotive and medical assemblies through legitimate-looking channels.

Relabelled

Remarked components

Recycled or lower-grade parts are remarked to premium specifications and sold as new stock.

Grey market

Broker supply risk

Shortage-driven broker purchases bypass authorized distribution and arrive without verifiable provenance.

Spares

Counterfeit service parts

Aftermarket spares fail early, damaging equipment reliability and the OEM's warranty position.

Where The Code Goes

Applied to boards, housings and connectors

Rugged industrial systems run around the clock on ordinary electricity, marking in seconds without lasers, inks or printers.

PCB substrate and shields
Connector bodies and backshells
Enclosures and bezels
Cable jackets and labels
Anti-static bags and trays

Field Verification

Incoming inspection without a lab

Quality teams confirm authenticity on the receiving dock rather than escalating to destructive testing.

Goods-in Inspectors clear broker shipments in seconds.

Field service Engineers verify spares before installation.

OEM Warranty claims checked against genuine parts.
