Holographic Labels SDN BHD of Malaysia, a leader in security labels, has joined hands with Dialog Telekom PLC to instantly detect counterfeit products via SMS.

Products affixed with holographic labels have several security features that cannot be tampered with or replicated. Using telecommunication infrastructure for authentication, customers can instantly detect fakes by sending an SMS with the serial number on the holographic label on the product to ‘4656’.

This initiative is aimed at protecting consumers from falling victim to fake brands and products, a Dialog press release said.
