Brand Security®

ブランドセキュリティ

Brand Security® is the Nippon Dom label with identification function and NIPPON Dom is the first in the industry to obtain a patent for a label manufacturing method.
It is a unique security product satisfying the conditions of allowing anyone to make an accurate judgment and being difficult to duplicate.

Why is Brand Security® Necessary?

The prevalence of counterfeit and imitation products, which has become the greatest nemesis of the world of fashion brands, not only infringes on brand value and threatens intellectual property rights of brand holders, but also leads to loss of brand credibility. It also greatly impacts consumers and shops.
Anti-counterfeit measures are essential for healthy development of brand business.

Three major risks posed by counterfeit products

Measures to prevent counterfeit and imitation products are necessary for risk management → The risks of neglecting this are high

Neglecting the dealers of counterfeit and imitation products being seen as acceptance
Potentially linked to underground money and funding sources for terrorist organizations (from the perspective of corporate social responsibility)
Reduced sales and loss of brand credibility due to genuine products being driven out
Experienced by many brands
Generation of consumer health hazards, accidents, confusion with genuine products, and anxiety
Measures are also necessary for customer satisfaction (CS)

What is required of Brand Securit®

Superiority of Brand Security®

1

Washing durability
The labels are washable with unchanged security performance even if attached to clothing or items for many years, allowing product authenticity to be determined even after it has been worn.

Customizable
The labels can be used in both sewn-on and stick-on formats, allowing for the authenticity of clothing, shoes, bags, etc. to be determined with the same identification method.

3

Unmatched analog technology
While there exist anti-counterfeit measures that use APPs and browsers to determine authenticity, NIPPON Dom Brand Security® provides “unmatched analog technology” that is difficult to replicate due to its being analog in nature.
* Digital technology algorithms and determination technologies are said to be a cat-and-mouse game.

“Anti-counterfeit Technology Certification” Brand security® obtained in China

Losses from counterfeit goods in China remain a major issue. For Japanese companies who produce or market in China, anti-counterfeiting products are indispensable.
NIPPON Dom has obtained the “Anti-counterfeit Technology Certification” in China for Brand security® products that use anti-counterfeiting thread, tape and ink.

In 2013, NIPPON Dom became the first company in the textile industry to obtain “Anti-counterfeit Technology Accreditation Certificate,” which was renewed in November 2022.
Major printing companies are among the certified Japanese corporations, but NIPPON Dom is the only company in the textile industry.
The manufacturing technology that incorporates anti-counterfeiting thread, tape and ink allows consumers to make identification post-purchase. Long-lasting ID durability and the thread spinning process that is not easily replicated are just a few advantages of our products.
Our anti-counterfeit products will give customers who are looking for imitation and counterfeit prevention solutions some peace of mind.
