Eltronis has scooped a winning prize in this year’s Finat awards in the security category with a label focused on its cloud-based software, engage

engage provides brand owners with a tool to link products to the internet through consumers’ smartphones. It was integrated into the label for one of the leading supplements and nutricosmetics supplier brands Hebe Life, to enable instant authentication of its products.

Integrated within the design of the enseal closure label, Hebe Life’s customers authenticate their purchases by scanning the unique code assigned to each product. On activation, consumers are not only reassured that the item they have purchased is genuine but are provided with additional, relevant brand information on a bespoke web page.

Eltronis impressed judges at the annual awards through the label’s combination of tamper evidence security and consumer engagement through its QR code and engage technology. 

Pete Smallwood, Eltronis’ business development manager, said: ‘We are honored to have won the security category in this year’s Finat Label awards and are delighted that the solution we produced for Hebe Life has been recognized. One of the factors driving the development of our engage software is helping brand owners tackle the growing threat of counterfeiting and providing a secure solution that enables easy authentication of genuine products by consumers is proving increasingly popular for a wide variety of branded goods’

With engage, consumers can interact with brands easily via their smartphones, giving them access to the latest online information, from authenticity and provenance of the item to delivering the latest promotions, competitions, and brand information.

Dr Heba Elshourbagy, director at Hebe Life, said: ‘We are delighted that our Hebe Life labels incorporating engage technology have been recognized with this leading award. Having the ability to reassure our customers that each product is genuine is an integral part of our brand experience and enhances the luxury positioning of our supplements and nutricosmetics.’
