Spirits & Tobacco Industry Expertise

Authentix has an in-depth knowledge of the spirits and tobacco industries, with over a decade of experience in spirits authentication and brand protection. We have supported brand owners in their efforts to regain stolen market share from illicit trade and protect their consumers from the dangers of counterfeit or diluted spirit. In addition, our excise tax recovery solutions enable government and tax collection authorities to recover revenues lost to smuggling and tax evasion.

Within our extensive portfolio of solutions, we have an array of anti-counterfeiting, product tracking and excise tax recovery applications for use with spirits and tobacco products. We can authenticate all aspects of packaging materials, including bottles, closures and labels with overt, covert and forensic features. In addition, packaging materials can be uniquely and covertly coded to trace their provenance, ensuring that the authentic product ends up in the intended distribution channel.

For tax recovery, Authentix provides tax stamp platforms customizable to suit any country or state’s needs. Our digital print-on-demand solution provides the highest level of security enabling encryption of key data on the stamp, or even straight to the bottle or pack itself, to facilitate easy field enforcement. Optionally, a pre-printed traceable stamp system can be used in certain situations where appropriate. Authentix systems facilitate the association of supply chain information with the stamp and permits detailed supply chain monitoring.
