As global beauty brands face increasing challenges in counterfeiting and grey markets, regulatory compliance, and supply chain transparency, the need for resilient and scalable security solutions has never been greater. EDGYN has long been a pioneer in digital authentication, while AP Label has spent more than 25 years building its reputation as a high-performance label and packaging manufacturer in China.

Today, EDGYN and AP Label work together to deliver more than 40 million secure labels per year, combining cutting‑edge security features with the industrial speed and precision required by top beauty brands. AP Label’s production lines, capable of printing over 40 items per second, ensure exceptional reliability, while EDGYN’s authentication technology reinforces product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Through this partnership, beauty brands operating in China benefit from a solution tailored to the sector: invisible yet highly robust security features, precise in‑line code integration, and full support for compliance with evolving regulations. From fighting counterfeiting to enabling advanced traceability, EDGYN and AP Label deliver what modern beauty brands need.

This joint solution is tailored to the specific needs of the beauty sector. The labels are premium, integrating invisible security features without altering the brand’s aesthetic requirements. AP Label’s high‑precision printing ensures exceptional clarity on both opaque and transparent labels, which is essential for luxury packaging.

EDGYN brings extensive knowledge of the beauty industry’s safety expectations, evolving regulations, and growing consumer demand for transparency.

How do these secure labels help international beauty brands in the Chinese market?

Camille Diss

Head of Private Markets at Edgyn

These secure, serialized labels offer several advantages to global beauty brands operating in China: 

  • They support compliance with China’s Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR), helping brands meet the requirements of China’s new regulatory framework for transparency, product safety, and traceability. 
  • They reinforce product authenticity. 
  • They enable full end‑to‑end traceability, giving brands more visibility throughout the supply chain, from production to retail. 
  • They empower brand protection teams to identify grey market diversion, detect tampering or refilling, and confirm the authenticity of products during field inspections. 

Overall, those labels offer stronger protection against counterfeiting, safeguard brand value, and enhance consumer confidence.
