From needs analysis to field operation.

Every project follows the same four phases. Scope is set by the product’s structure and the risk it faces.

Process

Four phases, clear responsibilities.

The outputs of each phase are shared in writing at project kick-off.

  1. 01

    Needs analysis

    We review the product, packaging structure, printing method and sales channels.

    • Review of packaging and print files
    • Assessment of printing method and material
    • Identifying the channels at risk

    Output: Risk map and priorities

  2. 02

    Signature design

    The signature is placed in the design to suit the printing method; a pilot product is selected.

    • Print-ready signature placement
    • Selecting a pilot product or batch
    • Agreeing the schedule and responsibilities

    Output: Approved print file and deployment plan

  3. 03

    Printing and setup

    The signed packaging is printed on your existing line; the records infrastructure and mobile app are configured.

    • Pre-press proof and verification test
    • Setting up cloud or on-premise records infrastructure
    • Configuring the branded app or the API and SDK integration

    Output: Verifiable packaging

  4. 04

    Field operation

    Verifications are recorded; suspicious scans are monitored and reported periodically.

    • Monitoring verifications in the field
    • Tracking suspicious regions and channels
    • Periodic reporting and improvement

    Output: Regular reports

Throughout the project

Project management principles.

01

A single point of contact

The same team stays with the project; questions and decisions are handled in one place.

02

A plan shared in advance

The scope, schedule and output of each stage are shared in writing before work begins.

03

Transparent reporting

Progress, field results and digital detections are reported at agreed intervals.

FAQ

Questions about the process

How long does the process take?

It depends on the structure of the product, the chosen solution and its scope. At the end of the needs analysis, the schedule for each stage is shared in writing.

Does production have to stop?

No. The signature and numbering are integrated into the existing design and print process; the line keeps running.

Can we start with a single product?

Yes. Most projects start with a pilot product or batch and are extended once the results are reviewed.

What happens after setup?

Verification, record keeping and reporting continue. On request, day-to-day operation is run by the Grafex team.

Meeting request

The right signature method for your packaging is set through a needs analysis.

The first meeting reviews your product, sales channels and the risks you face, and recommends a suitable method.
