Verify this code →How Teal anti-counterfeit packaging works
QR code, NFC tag, or tamper-evident seal, printed on your packaging or as a label.
Teal generates a unique code per item and prints it into your run, with your artwork.
A buyer scans the QR or taps the NFC tag and lands on a live authenticity check.
Genuine items verify cleanly; copied codes flag as over-scanned, protecting your brand.
QR-code security labels
A unique QR printed on any Teal packaging or label. No app and no special hardware: the buyer scans with a phone camera and sees an instant authenticity result. The lowest-cost way to add verification to an existing product.
NFC tap-to-verify
A thin NFC tag the customer taps their phone against. It feels premium, works without a camera, and is harder to clone than a printed code. Available as a label or insert, and can be paired with a QR for reach.
Tamper-evident seals
Peel-off and tamper-evident labels that show if a package has been opened. Combine them with a serialized code so a customer can confirm both that the seal is intact and that the item is genuine.
Scan-to-verify check
Every code resolves to a live verification page that confirms the item is genuine and shows how many times that one unique code has been checked. A single code scanned many times is the signal of a copied label, so counterfeits surface themselves.
Why brands add it
Protect revenue and reputation
Counterfeits divert sales and erode trust. A per-item code lets any customer confirm authenticity in seconds, so knockoffs are easy to spot and report.
Turn packaging into marketing
The verification page is a branded touchpoint. Use it to confirm authenticity, tell your story, and link back to your store, turning a scan into engagement.
Low minimums, US-made
Add protection from a 50-unit minimum with volume pricing from $0.44 per unit, free dieline design, and free US shipping. Standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval (longer for complex or high-volume orders).
Frequently Asked Questions
How does anti-counterfeit packaging work?
Each item gets a unique serialized code, printed as a QR code, an NFC tag, or a tamper-evident label. A buyer scans or taps it and lands on a verification page that confirms the item is genuine and shows how many times that one code has been checked. A copied code shows up as scanned many times, which flags a likely counterfeit.
What is the difference between QR and NFC verification?
A QR code is a printed pattern the customer scans with a phone camera; it needs no special hardware and can be printed directly on any Teal packaging or label. An NFC tag is a thin chip the customer taps their phone against; it feels more premium and is harder to copy, but adds a physical component. Teal offers both, and you can combine them.
Are the codes really unique to each item?
Yes. Teal generates a unique serialized code for every unit in your run, not one shared code for the whole batch. That is what makes verification meaningful: a genuine item verifies cleanly on its first check, while a counterfeit that reuses a copied code shows repeated verifications from different places.
Can I put the code on my existing Teal packaging?
Yes. QR codes and tamper-evident seals print directly onto custom boxes, mailers, mylar bags, pouches, and labels as part of the same print run, with no separate step for you. NFC tags are applied as a label or insert. Teal builds the artwork and the code system into your order.
What does anti-counterfeit packaging cost and what is the minimum order?
Teal is a US-based custom packaging supplier with a low 50-unit minimum order quantity (specialty rigid from 100+), volume pricing from $0.44 per unit, free dieline design, and free US shipping. Anti-counterfeit codes are quoted to your run size and format; standard production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval (longer for complex or high-volume orders).
