Did you know that…

China, THE counterfeiting country, recognizes the Bubble Tag as THE solution in the fight against counterfeiting

After convincing winemakers, Swiss watchmakers and African governments, the Bubble Tag generated interest from the Chinese authorities. Aware of the need to manage a problem that is damaging the image of its industry, the Chinese government identified the Bubble Tag™ as an effective solution to fight counterfeiting.

The Chinese authorities gave indeed an accreditation to Prooftag, which was delivered by
by CATA (China Anti-Counterfeiting Technology Association).

Did you know that the Bubble Tag distinguishes itself in:

Brand protection

Counterfeiting is a veritable plague both for brands and consumers. Prooftag's Bubble Tag technology enables brands to offer to their customers an absolute guarantee of authenticity for product security, traceability and durability. Thus, every watch produced by Zenith, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker and member of LVMH Group, has a Bubble Card™.

Wine protection

Bubble Tags are protecting the most prestigious winemaking domains and “Chateaux” in the world. Bubble Tags are used to make each bottle unique and carry information. In the form of a seal, the Bubble Tag renders the wine bottles unique and impossible to counterfeit. This seal that provides visible proof of authenticity can be checked by distributors, consumers and authorities.

Art

To safeguard its art works, the Forbidden City opted for Bubble Tag™ technology to authenticate a series of rare and precious books. The book, dating back 150 years, has been reproduced in 600 copies.

Securing payment orders

Toulouse City Hall has launched "Sol Violette", a currency that aims to boost the development of a local and solidarity-based economy. To prevent any attempt at fraud and guarantee the authenticity and traceability of the new currency's coupons, Toulouse City Hall decided to include a Bubble Seal on each payment order. The solidarity currency can be used in some 40 shops in Toulouse.

Access security

Prooftag authenticated all access badges used at the G8 summit held on May 24 & 25, 2011 in Paris. Nearly 5,000 Bubble Seals™ were provided to protect all the badges issued. Prooftag had already won renown for this type of service at the Francophony Summit held in 2008.

Administrative documents

Bubble Tags are also used to protect administrative documents. For example, all diplomas awarded in Ivory Coast   since 2008 by the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training bear a Bubble Seal to prevent their falsification. The same applies in Benin where the process is used to protect all real estate deeds and titles to property, combating fraud.
