Trust in a category built on online sales in India
Supplements combine high margins, light regulation and marketplace distribution — ideal conditions for counterfeiters, and India's online supplement trade has grown fast. SNOWLEOPARD® marks bottles, seals and cartons invisibly.
Fakes sold at full price to health-conscious buyers
Counterfeit supplements have contained undeclared pharmaceuticals and banned substances, exposing consumers and athletes alike.
Undeclared ingredients
Fake product has been found to contain pharmaceuticals and stimulants that are not on the label at all.
Commingled inventory
Marketplace fulfillment mixes stock from multiple sellers, so genuine and counterfeit units share a bin.
Anti-doping exposure
Contaminated product creates sanction risk for athletes and liability for the brands they trust.
Marked on the bottle, seal and carton
Codes are etched into packaging without inks, solvents or additives — nothing enters the supplement itself.
- HDPE bottles and canisters
- Induction seals and caps
- Sachets and stick packs
- Blister and strip film
- Cartons and shrink bundles
Consumers and platforms can both check
A single breath of vapour confirms genuine product, giving brands physical evidence in marketplace takedown cases.

Nutritional Supplements questions
How is a nutritional supplements 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.
