TruTag microtags are edible, invisible barcodes developed to help combat the billion-dollar counterfeit drug trade. TruTagoutfit individual pills with descriptions of ingredients, distribution and delivery. In a world where counterfeit drugs are a growing, global problem, costing not just money but human lives, TruTag presents a timely solution to a crucial issue. TruTags are uniquely etched through a highly precise process, and associated with a specific optical signature. TruTag’s authentication technology is distinctive in that the optical signature is into the microtags without the use of additional additives or markers. As such, the highly versatile microtags can be added to coatings, applied to the exterior of products and edible goods, or added to ingredients such as powders. TruTags will last indefinitely through the product’s lifecycle and can be read by using TruTag’s optical reader.
