The problem

Why labels and holograms are not enough.

Copies look right.Holograms and printed codes can be copied, and labels can be peeled off and moved to a fake.
Everyone checks differently.A shopper, an inspector and a forensic lab each need their own way to check the same item.
Lines are hard to change.Adding a new security step to a production line is slow and costly.
