Authentication that never touches India's food chain
Adulterated oils, honey, infant formula and bottled water carry real public-health risk, and food adulteration is a standing enforcement priority in India. SNOWLEOPARD® marks the container and closure with no additives, inks or chemicals.
Adulteration and refill in everyday categories
Volume products with strong brand premiums attract substitution, dilution and container reuse across informal channels.
Substituted contents
Premium oils, honey and spirits are diluted or substituted while the authentic packaging is retained.
Reused bottles and jars
Collected containers are refilled and resold, defeating tamper bands and printed lot codes.
Untraceable lots
When printed codes are copied or illegible, recall scope widens and costs multiply.
Marked on containers, closures and film
A non-contact, consumable-free process keeps the mark entirely outside the product contact zone.
- Glass jars and bottles
- PET and HDPE containers
- Caps, crowns and induction seals
- Lidding and shrink film
- Cases and trays
Verification anywhere in the distribution chain
Warm vapour reveals the code at packing, distribution, retail or the consumer's kitchen — no equipment anywhere in between.

Food & Beverages questions
How is a food & beverages item authenticated in the field?
A single breath of warm vapour mist reveals the hidden security image, which disappears in seconds as moisture evaporates. No instruments, tools, lights or apps are needed.
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 vapour and is etched into the substrate, making replication virtually impossible.
How does this fit alongside our existing serialisation?
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 programs.
How is it integrated into production?
Desktop-size systems run inline or off-line, and high-speed web-film systems are fully customisable. Equipment runs 24/7 on ordinary electricity with no inks, lasers, solvents or consumables.
