Colorcon® brings you the ability to protect against pharmaceutical counterfeits with new on-tablet authentication and brand protection technologies. You can achieve greater product security and patient protection by utilizing branding and identification technologies specifically designed to make tablets easy to recognize yet difficult to copy.
Counterfeit protection requires a combination of unique on-tablet technologies that provide visual, electronic, forensic, and sensory identification. Through the use of these counterfeit protection technologies, Colorcon’s Brand Enhancement Service™ helps our pharmaceutical partners take a more aggressive role in assuring patient safety and mitigating the risk of adulterated product.
System Options
Exclusive tablet identification and authentication systems from Colorcon provide unique identification elements to help prevent pharmaceutical counterfeits and reduce medication errors, all while enhancing your brand's image.
Options include both overt and covert technologies. Both of these options are effective deterrents to counterfeiting and help to ensure that the tablets ingested by patients are not adulterated.
Overt technologies:
- Shape, size and logo combinations provide trademark protection as a first line of defense against counterfeiters
- Unique color-shifting coatings add elegance to your tablet and are difficult to reverse-engineer
Covert technology:
- Micro- tags protect the individual tablet and are easily incorporated into existing manufacturing operations. These tags can be visualized in the field, or brought in-house for forensic authentication.
