Identium provides RFID for the perfume industry — in-store solutions that improve the customer experience at the point of sale and verify the authenticity of every bottle. RFID in cosmetics and perfumery starts at the factory: we plan the tagging strategy at the manufacturing stage so anti-counterfeit measures are built into the supply chain, with solutions conforming to GS1 global standards and Electronic Product Codes.
Counterfeit perfumery is a global problem on a massive scale — not just in the brand erosion it causes manufacturers, but in the potential harm to users. Combining tamper-evident security RFID labels on the original pack with tamper-evident carton sealing tapes on bulk cartons in transit gives extremely high protection against theft and against counterfeit items being sold through outlet stores.
Where RFID fits in the perfume industry
- Source tagging — RFID labels applied or embedded at the manufacturing stage, encoded to GS1/EPC standards
- Authenticity verification — a read at the counter confirms the bottle is genuine before it is sold
- Tamper evidence in transit — security labels and carton tapes expose any opened pack or carton
- Retail inventory counts — shelf and stockroom stock counted in minutes instead of hours
- Loss prevention — exit readers identify exactly which tagged item left the store unsold
- Point-of-sale experience — faster billing and assisted selling, since each pack identifies itself
