AVERY DENNISON ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP 
WITH CERTILOGO

The innovative partnership will extend brand experiences to consumers through product authentication

NEW YORK, NY —Oct. 5, 2020— Avery Dennison, a global leader in innovative materials science  and manufacturing, today announced a partnership with Certilogo, the digital authentication platform that pioneered the use of artificial intelligence for “anywhere, anytime” product verification via smartphone. The partnership between the two companies will focus on integrating Certilogo’s digital technologies into Avery Dennison’s apparel labeling products, allowing consumers to verify product authenticity via their smartphones, thus unlocking personal experiences with brands. The technology  assesses authenticity by asking the consumer a series of questions that will lead to either an “authentic” or “fake” result. 

“Avery Dennison's expertise in brand protection solutions and supply chain data management, combined with Certilogo's unique knowledge of consumer authentication, allows brands to accelerate their digital journeys. At the same time, using authentication as a hook enables brands to boost engagement, gather commercial insights and protect their consumers”


says Michael Colarossi, Vice President of Innovation, Product Line Management and Sustainability at Avery Dennison.


Leveraging Avery Dennison’s labeling solutions, this partnership will focus on creating new user experience across the apparel supply chain, including digital/data augmentations to brand protection   new, significant opportunities to brands:
 

  • Brand Protection - The ability to monitor global distribution and identify unauthorized third-party resellers with the help of consumers. Data can be collected on counterfeit hotspots for field inspections, which can protect future, and current, consumers from the disappointment of purchasing counterfeit items.

  • Consumer Engagement - Reward customers that value and choose authentic products with unique, personalized brand content. Brands will be able to fulfill omnichannel consumer experiences across channels to reach millions of connected consumers.

  • Commercial Insights - Monitor the sales cycle and product lifecycle in addition to analytics for brand strategy and next collection development.

  • Sustainability and Circularity - Support authentication of goods on the secondhand market. Authentic items resell for a higher price and keep items in use for longer, thus extending the product life cycle.

 

“We are excited to be partnering with Avery Dennison”

says Michele Casucci, founder and chief executive officer of Certilogo.

 

“Whether brands choose to focus on transparency, sustainability or memorable customer experiences, they need end-to-end solutions capable of creating consumer engagement by design. Joining forces with the global powerhouse that is Avery Dennison will accelerate our ability to transform products into digital channels and drive richer, more relevant and more profitable customer journeys.”

Through the partnership, brands can build loyal and lasting relationships with their customers by elevating the physical product with digital experiences when it matters most. Over 2.5 million authentications have been confirmed in the last 12 months -- essentially one authentication every eight seconds.
