Counterfeiting accounts for over $700 billion in sales a year, or 8 to 10 percent of all global trade.* Almost every successful product in the world is being copied. Counterfeit products:

• Lead to lost reputation and brand equity as unsuspecting customers associate poor quality of counterfeits with legitimate products
• Pose a significant risk to consumer health and safety (for example: drugs, automobiles, airplane parts)
• Represent lost profits as dollars flow to counterfeiters instead of legitimate businesses
• Lead to lost jobs; the US Chamber of Commerce and other organizations estimate the impact to be in the hundreds of thousands

Because pharmaceutical and luxury goods manufacturers, cosmetic companies, premium wine and spirit producers, government agencies, financial institutions, and others need stronger anti-counterfeiting measures, Kodak delivers a wide range of security offerings to protect your brands and your customers. These solutions leverage our traditional strengths in material science, imaging science, and printing technology.
