Hybrid Silicone Patch with QR Code

Make every product scannable, durable, and on-brand. Our hybrid silicone patches embed a dynamic QR code into a premium, silicone badge - unlocking item-level traceability, anti-counterfeit protection, and always-on consumer engagement.

Overview

Hybrid Silicone Patches fuse soft-touch silicone with a high-contrast, high-readability QR matrix. Built for apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods, these patches withstand heavy wear, wash, heat, and flex while delivering a seamless scan experience. Pair each patch with dynamic QR destinations to update content post‑production, connect to Digital Care Labels or DPP, and turn every item into a persistent digital touchpoint.

Through ScanMoguL (SML’s proprietary 2D barcode scanning app for iOS and Android), brands can verify SKUs, authenticate items, and run quality checks at speed. Use the same QR to trigger stock counts, enable service workflows, and capture real-world scan data that feeds demand forecasting and CRM. For consumers, a single scan surfaces rich product content, care guidance, repair and recycle options, warranty registration, and personalized offers – no app required.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Durable by design: Wash-, heat-, UV-, and abrasion-resistant; retains scan fidelity through repeated wear and washes.
  • Compact, cost-smart: Smaller footprint versus paper inserts; supports sustainability by replacing care leaflets when paired with Digital Care Labels or DPP.
  • Dynamic content control: Update destinations and messaging without reprinting or changing lead times.
  • Global-ready: Remove language constraints with localized, in-scan content.
  • Secure and authentic: Enable item-level serialization for anti-counterfeit and gray-market diversion control.
  • Always-on engagement: Add interactive, direct-to-consumer experiences from the product itself: how-to care, fit guides, videos, rewards.
  • Circular fashion support: Link to repair hubs, take-back programs, materials data, and recycling instructions.
  • Easy to deploy: Works with existing PLM/ERP; no advanced tech skills required.
  • Industry agnostic: Ideal for fashion, sportswear, outdoor, workwear, luggage, consumer electronics, and more.

How It Works:

  • Encode unique IDs or SKUs into a high-contrast QR optimized for silicone surfaces.
  • Map each code to a dynamic URL managed in your dashboard or via API.
  • Scan with any smartphone or ScanMoguL to authenticate, audit, or engage.
  • Update content anytime—product pages, care, warranties, DPP records: no patch changes needed.

Common Use Cases:

  • Authentication and warranty registration at point of sale
  • Item-level track-and-trace from factory to shelf
  • Post-purchase onboarding, care, and repair journeys
  • Loyalty and UGC campaigns triggered by on-product scans
  • Rental, resale, and refurbishment programs
  • Compliance-ready Digital Product Passport and Digital Care Label experiences
