Product definition and industry value

The garment anti-subband seal is a disposable anti-counterfeit closure tool designed for the clothing retail scene, which prevents goods from being maliciously subbanded or defused during circulation, sale, return and exchange. Its core values are:

· Protect the rights and interests of brands: eliminate the practice of replacing authentic goods with fakes, high-quality counterfeits and counterfeits, and avoid the loss of brand credibility;

· Reduce after-sales disputes: By visualizing seal status, clarifying the responsibility for sealing goods, reducing return disputes that are "not good";

· Improving consumer trust: Consumers can quickly determine whether the goods are in the original factory condition through the integrity of the seal, enhancing the sense of purchasing security.

Core functions and technical design

1. Anti-detachable locking structure

· Jagged rebar design: The seal buckle uses a single-way biting teeth, which cannot be loosened in the back after tightening, and forced dismantling will cause the seal to break or the marking layer to rupture, leaving irreversible marks;

· Fragile material process: Part of the seal surface is covered with fragile ink or film, when opening, it will produce the word "Kaifeng" or the pattern is broken, showing the status directly.

2. Anti-counterfeit traceability system

· Dynamic coding technology: Each seal is equipped with a unique laser spraying code, two-dimensional code, can be associated with the product number, batch information, through the brand's official website or APP scan code to verify the authenticity;

· Encryption printing process: use fluorescent inks, thermostatic inks or miniature text printing to raise the threshold for forgery.

3. Flexible adaptation design

· No damage to clothing material: Use soft plastic or environmentally friendly paper materials such as PP, PE, avoid scratching the fabric by metal parts, suitable for knitting, silk and other sensitive materials clothing;

· Multi-scenario fixing: Supports installation forms such as rope (through hanger holes), adhesive (attached directly to a sign), and binding (trapped with buttons or zips).

Mainstream Types and Applicable Scenarios

Zipper-style seal

Application: T-shirts, shirts (hang on the hang tag rope)

Advantages: Lightweight and easy to install, low cost

Anti-counterfeit sticker

Features: self-adhesive, fragile label that breaks when removed

Applications: lingerie, accessories (applied directly to the packaging or hang tag)

Advantages: Excellent concealment, ideal for small items.

Material and craftsmanship selection

1. Basic Material Characteristics

PP (polypropylene): high hardness, tensile strength of 20-50N, suitable for coats, bags and other need to load the scene, strong resistance to natural weathering (-20 °C ~ 60 °C);

· PE (polyethylene): soft and flexible, suitable for winding irregular parts (such as tongue, belt ring), low temperature environment is not easy to brittle;

2. Custom processes

· Brand visual implant: silk screen LOGO, brand Slogan, anti-counterfeiting slogan, strengthen brand recognition (such as luxury goods seal often use bronzing, hot silver process);

· Color management system: Differentiated seal colors by sales channel (online / offline), seasonal batch, to facilitate inventory management (e.g. red represents offline specialty cabinets, blue represents e-commerce specialty supply).

Full-scenario applications for the clothing industry

1. Prenatal storage

· When ready-made clothing enters the warehouse, use a seal to bundle the same batch of clothing to prevent miscellaneous and mixed hair in the warehouse;

· Brand co-branded and limited edition models are affixed with a proprietary coded seal marked "unopened" status.

2. Retail terminal scenario

· In physical stores: When new products appear on the shelves, the seal is worn through the pendants and clothes. Customers need to cut the seal to retrieve the clothes after purchasing, and avoid adjusting the bag when trying on them;

· E-commerce: Attach a seal to the inner clothing of the package, with a "unopened not return" prompt, reducing "garbage return" (such as replacing the authentic product with high-quality counterfeit return).

3. Return and Exchange Management

· Check the integrity of the seal when the return is accepted, and refuse to accept damage to reduce the risk of "second replacement";

· Discount shops, mark "non-genuine" or "sample" with special color seals to prevent the flow of genuine channels.

Buying and Using Guide

1. Core Buying Tips

· Strength matching: PP seal with tensile strength ≥ 60N for heavy clothing, PE or paper seal for light and thin fabrics (tensile strength 10-40N);

· Compliance certification: Priority is given to products that have passed the manufacturer's environmental certification to avoid poor quality materials contaminating clothing;

· System compatibility: The brand that needs traceability function needs to confirm the feasibility of the seal code and the corporate logo and anti-counterfeiting query platform.

2. Warnings about use

· Make sure the seal is fully locked when it is installed to avoid false clasp causing it to fall off;

· Store in a dry environment to prevent the seal from adhesion to the damp or the material from aging;

· It is recommended to use scissors to cut along the lock when detaching the seal to avoid tearing and damaging the clothing.

Industry Trends and Innovation Directions

1. Digital anti-counterfeiting upgrade: In combination with blockchain technology, the seal is broken and recorded on the chain, enabling "one thing, one code, one origin."

2. Innovation in environmentally friendly materials: degradable cornstarch-based plastics and water-soluble paper seals gradually replace traditional materials, responding to the demand for sustainable fashion;

3. Scenario-design: For children's clothing, sportswear and other sub-categories, the development of bite proof, water proof type seals (such as swimsuit seals with waterproof ink).

Through the refined design and management of seals, clothing brands can build a "de-escalation sanctuary" throughout the supply chain, both to protect commercial interests and to create a more transparent shopping experience for consumers.
