Primi unveils AI-powered authentication and traceability system at Intergraf Copenhagen

Primi Tecnologia introduced a new security seal platform at Intergraf Currency+Identity 2026 in Copenhagen that links physical anti-counterfeit features to digital identity and AI-based verification. The system is aimed at beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and brand-protection uses, where authenticity and traceability matter most.

Why it matters: - Primi Tecnologia is targeting counterfeiting, tampering and unauthorized product circulation with a single system that combines security printing, smartphone verification and digital records. - The approach is designed to give consumers, companies and inspection teams a faster way to check authenticity and spot suspicious patterns.

What happened: - Primi Tecnologia presented a new solution called Living Trace Tax Stamp at Intergraf Currency+Identity 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Oct. 14-15. - The solution connects a physical seal on a product to a unique digital identity. - The system uses artificial intelligence to analyze images captured by smartphone and verify security features without requiring an app download. - Primi is participating in the event alongside BlendPaper, another Brazilian company that supplies the banknote paper used for the Brazilian real.

The details: - Each seal carries its own identification linked to physical security features. - The verification flow can check the serial number against data registered in the system. - Each verification can generate a record with date, time, location, product, serial number, image and result. - Those records create a history that can help identify irregularities and suspicious patterns. - Primi designed the technology for use in markets where authenticity, provenance and traceability are critical. - In beverages, the system can help consumers and companies verify whether a product is legitimate before consumption. - In pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, the system can support genuine-product checks and track verification activity across the supply chain. - The same architecture can support brand protection against counterfeiting, packaging imitation and unauthorized products. - Victoria Ferreira, Strategic Projects and Development Coordinator at Primi Tecnologia, said the goal is to expand the traditional role of the security seal. - Ferreira said authenticity can be verified, consumers can perform a check, companies can receive information about those verifications, and the seal can link the physical product to its digital identity. - The physical seals use security printing features intended to make copying and tampering more difficult. - The digital side uses image recognition and artificial intelligence tied to a unique identity and authentication system. - Primi describes the concept as physical proof, AI-powered verification and digital traceability.

Between the lines: - Primi is positioning a traditional security-printing business as a digital verification platform, not just a maker of anti-counterfeit seals. - The company is also using Intergraf to present a solution that it says was developed in Brazil for international use. - The mix of minting institutions, central banks and anti-fraud organizations at the event gives the product exposure to buyers that care about secure documents and identity systems.

What's next: - Primi will likely use Intergraf to broaden awareness of the platform among potential customers in regulated and high-risk markets. - The company is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2026 and continues to promote solutions that combine print security with digital authentication. - Primi says its industrial base in São Paulo supports both traditional security printing and digital traceability technologies.

The bottom line: - Primi is betting that the next generation of anti-counterfeit tools will need to prove authenticity in both the physical and digital worlds.
