Stealth Mark versus the Competition

Our Stealth Mark® authentication solutions not only pass the Four Principles test; they offer significant benefits over the competition!

The list of innovations include our patented encryption algorithms and color system; our proprietary manufacturing procedures and application products; our automated handheld StealthFire™ Reader and, of course, the StealthFire™ software suite. These advantages work together to provide you with numerous benefits, chief among them are:

  • Bullet-Proof Security: Print technologies such as micro-print, UV images, and holograms are particularly vulnerable. With current scanning and printing technologies, counterfeiters can readily duplicate most of your printed anti-counterfeit measures.

    Stealth Mark, however, offers solutions which are impossible to compromise. Our Stealth Mark® technology offers two levels of protection—from the patented encryption of our codes; where each code is licensed to a customer for their exclusive use, to our uniquely identifiable particle “fingerprint”, which can provide for serialization of individual units and product validation at the forensic level.

    Furthermore, the microparticles we use in our marks – for all our products – are nontoxic, and crush, heat, and chemical resistant. And because they are not electrical nor involve any moving parts, our marks cannot fall victim to cyber attacks such as hacking, nor suffer a mechanical failure.

    Stealth Mark® Security Technology: Virtually impossible to detect; absolutely impossible to compromise.

  • Easier Implementation: We have developed a line of standard marking products which enable your organization to implement an authentication solution with little, if any, disruption to your manufacturing, packaging, and/or distribution operations.

    And in those circumstances where one of our standard marking products isn’t suitable to your needs, we offer customized solutions, such as our direct application products which allow our encrypted microparticles to be seamlessly incorporated into many materials, allowing you to place marking directly onto your product or package.

    In fact, we can even mark bulk materials such as bolts of fabric, agricultural seed products, fertilizers, chemicals, bulk plastics, bulk paper materials, etc. We know of no competitors that can mark bulk materials as cost-effectively.

    In addition, we can supply large quantities of our patented Stealth Mark® codes, making it practical for you to assign individual codes to your products and or production lots. Most competitors cannot produce codes economically in volume.

  • Do-It-Yourself, Forensic Caliber Authentication: Unlike technologies such as antibody pairs/DNA or magnetic resonance signatures which requires laboratory analysis for authentication, our handheld StealthFire™ readers and software, allows you easily and instantly verify your code - on the spot. At any point in your supply chain, at any point in any sales channel, anywhere in the marketplace and provides you with forensic caliber proof of authenticity – all without requiring transport of the item or the need of specialized assistance.

  • Trend-Setting Affordability: Compared to other technologies—such as RFID, DNA strands or isotopes—Stealth Mark® security products are far less expensive to purchase, implement and authenticate. Stealth Mark offers the best TCO (total cost of ownership) of any solution on the market today.
