Closed QR Code Label

A closed QR code label, also known as a hidden QR code label, is a type of anti-counterfeiting label that utilizes a protected and concealed QR code within the label. The QR code on this label cannot be directly seen or scanned but requires a special tool or specific handling to access and scan the QR code.

Closed QR code labels typically have a protective layer on the surface, such as scratch-resistant coating or tamper-evident layer, to prevent direct access to the QR code. This helps prevent copying and counterfeiting of the product by replacing or modifying the QR code.

To access and scan the QR code on a closed QR code label, consumers need to use a special tool, such as a QR code reader with transparency capability or a specialized tool to remove the protective layer. This process helps verify the legitimacy and check the relevant information related to the product.

Closed QR code labels provide an additional layer of protection and enhance the privacy of the QR code. They help prevent copying, counterfeiting, and altering of the information on the product while safeguarding the brand and ensuring authenticity for consumers.

• Enhanced Security: Closed QR code labels provide a higher level of protection for the QR code, making it more difficult to copy and counterfeit. By completely covering the QR code, this label prevents unauthorized access and tampering of the QR code, ensuring the integrity and reliability of product information.
• Increased Information Capacity: With more space to display the QR code, closed QR code labels can contain more information. Users can access detailed information about the product, origin, manufacturing processes, ingredients, usage instructions, and more through QR code scanning.
• Building Consumer Trust: Closed QR code labels can build trust and credibility with consumers. When users scan the QR code and receive detailed and accurate product information, they feel reassured and trust the quality and origin of the product.

• Higher Cost: Compared to open QR code labels, closed QR code labels may require higher production costs. Fully covering the QR code requires the use of specialized label materials and more complex printing technology, leading to increased production and packaging costs.
• Design Limitations: Closed QR code labels may have more design limitations compared to open QR code labels. Fully covering the QR code can limit space for displaying other design elements such as logos, advertising messages, or product images.

Closed QR code labels can be highly effective in preventing counterfeiting and enhancing product security. With a protective layer completely covering the QR code, it makes copying and counterfeiting more difficult, protecting product information and building consumer trust. However, the effectiveness of closed QR code labels also depends on the implementation of management policies, sensitivity in detecting counterfeit products, and compliance from end users.
