Comprehensive Authentication and Verification for Tobacco and Cannabis Supply Chains
Illicit trade in tobacco products undermines tax revenue, public health efforts, and brand integrity. The rise of smokeless and heated tobacco products (HTPs) introduces new vulnerabilities as well as new opportunities for securing product authenticity and system control. Microtrace delivers authentication solutions designed to protect both traditional and next-generation tobacco formats across packaging, products, and device-connected consumable systems.

Applications include:
- Heat-not-burn and vapor systems
- Smart devices and branded consumables (sticks, capsules, pods)
- Traditional tobacco and cannabis packaging
- Regulatory compliance labeling and tax stamping
