Tobacco excise stamp

Banderole-format Vero Code stamp securing every pack against illicit trade.

The Problem

Silent disruptors in tobacco markets.

Traditional tax stamps fail against modern counterfeit operations — eroding government revenue and exposing consumers to unregulated product.

01
Government Tax Collection Losses
Illicit cigarette trade significantly reduces excise revenue across jurisdictions.
02
Unreported Products
Goods circulate without official records, breaking regulatory visibility.
03
Counterfeited Stamps
Fake excise stamps undermine fiscal control and legitimate brand value.
04
Inefficient Stamping
Open-standard codes (QR, Data Matrix) can be copied at industrial scale.
05
Health & Safety Risk
Unregulated tobacco bypasses quality controls and consumer protection law.
Why Vero Code

The only closed-algorithm code engineered for fiscal protection.

Open standards like QR and Data Matrix were designed for convenience, not security. Vero Code is mathematically closed — impossible to reverse-engineer or clone.

Product Lifecycle

From production line to point of sale — every pack accounted for.

01
Code Embedding

Each pack is marked with a unique closed-algorithm Vero Code at the manufacturing line — establishing authenticity from origin.

02
Retail Engagement

On arrival, the code is scanned and registered to the shelf — confirming chain of custody across distribution.

03
Sale & Deactivation

At checkout, the code is retired from circulation — preventing reuse, refill, or resale fraud.

Consumer Verification

Anyone can verify a pack in seconds.

The VeroSeal consumer app turns every smartphone into an authentication endpoint — and every shopper into a sensor in the network.
