Woven Labels with Anti‑Counterfeit Yarns Overview

Counterfeiting erodes brand value and customer confidence. SML’s woven labels with anti‑counterfeit yarns deliver a discreet, built‑in security layer that’s invisible in normal light and instantly verifiable under UV. Because the security yarn is woven, not applied – it’s significantly harder to remove, replicate, or tamper with, making it ideal for premium apparel, limited drops, licensed merch, and after‑sales authentication.

Integrated into standard damask workflows, these labels maintain your brand’s look and feel while adding a powerful authentication signal for factories, distribution centers, retail staff, and service teams. Verification is simple: shine a UV light to reveal the preset fluorescence. Choose color signatures aligned to your program requirements and deploy globally through SML’s production footprint.

For brands, woven security labels streamline SKU checks, deter gray‑market leakage, and enable fast frontline verification alongside existing QA processes. Combined with SML’s digital solutions including ScanMoguL for barcode/QR workflows, our woven security labels fit seamlessly into item‑level programs and help close the loop from factory to consumer.
