Verify what you are purchasing is Authentic

Checknique empowers consumers to shop with certainty. Instantly verify the authenticity of any Checknique-marked product by scanning its 2D barcode. Our software solution helps consumers verify the authenticity of products before purchase and keep track of their purchases afterwards. It uses GS1 compliant 2D barcodes with additional authenticity attributes which consumers can scan to determine if an individual product is genuine or counterfeit. The app also allows users to create a personal product catalog of their purchases, share product information, and access product-related resources.

How do you know your product is authentic?

Counterfeit products are becoming more sophisticated every year, making it harder than ever to tell the difference between authentic goods and imitations.

​

In many cases, counterfeit products are created through what is known as "third-shift manufacturing." This occurs when authorized manufacturers produce additional products outside of contracted production runs—often during an overnight "ghost shift"—and sell those extra goods as counterfeits.

​

Checknique helps brands protect their products and their reputation by verifying authenticity and preventing counterfeit distribution before it reaches consumers.

Verify authenticity with Checknique

Authenticating products should be simple. With Checknique, consumers can instantly verify whether a product is genuine or counterfeit by scanning a 2D barcode—no app required. Each scan connects directly to trusted product information, helping brands protect their reputation and giving customers confidence in what they purchase.

Product Ownership

After purchase, consumers can claim digital ownership of their product by scanning the 2D barcode. Once registered, they can review product details, verify authenticity, and stay connected to product information through the Checknique app.

​

By enabling secure product ownership verification, Checknique helps consumers track their purchases while giving brands better visibility and engagement with their customers.
