Physical proof of authenticity for India's digital marketplaces
Takedowns and test buys treat symptoms, and Indian brands fight the same listings week after week. SNOWLEOPARD® gives every unit a covert mark, so genuine product can be proven in disputes, returns and enforcement actions.
Enforcement without physical evidence is endless
Listings return under new seller names, returns fraud pushes fakes into legitimate inventory, and brands carry the reputational cost.
Recurring listings
Removed listings reappear under new seller identities faster than takedown processes can close them.
Fakes returned as genuine
Counterfeits are returned in place of authentic goods and re-enter sellable inventory undetected.
Shared fulfillment stock
Pooled marketplace inventory removes any reliable link between a unit and its original seller.
Every unit carries its own covert evidence
Because the code is etched into the product or its packaging, authenticity travels with the item through every channel.
- Product housings and components
- Primary packaging and seals
- Cartons and mailers
- Authenticity cards and inserts
- Return and repair labels
From dispute to decision in one breath
Returns teams, investigators and platform partners confirm authenticity immediately, with no reader infrastructure to deploy.

Online Brand Protection questions
How is a online brand protection 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.
