When printing, add a mark around the trademark logo: \"Registered Trademark\", \"Note\" or \"?\". Among them, "?\" is used internationally. Most of the counterfeit famous and high-quality goods do not have trademark logos, or words such as "registered trademark", "note", or "?" on the outer packaging. Authentic trademarks are printed by regular manufacturers. The trademarks have good paper quality, beautiful printing, fine details, clear text and patterns, bright colors, pure and bright colors, and fine bronzing. Counterfeit trademarks are imitations of genuine trademarks. Due to poor machine equipment and printing technology, compared with genuine trademarks, they often have lower paper quality, rough printing, blurred lines, patterns, and strokes, incorrect color registration, poor gloss, and unclear tones. The pattern and shape are inconsistent, the layout is unclean, and there are no anti-counterfeiting marks.

Registered trademarks should be printed by regular printing plants managed by the special industry of the public security department. Counterfeit trademarks generally come from improper channels. The irregular printing technology of these channels will cause many problems on the printed trademarks. Defect characteristics. The authenticity of the trademark can be determined by checking whether there are any of these defective features.

The printing defect characteristics of counterfeit trademarks are:

(l) Ink draft defect characteristics: incorrect font, thick strokes, uneven spacing, unclear writing, sluggish writing, and pattern Details are omitted or very rough, patterns vary in thickness, rounded areas are not rounded, and edges and corners are not obvious.

(2) Characteristics of plate-making defects: There are defects around the printing plate, it is not smooth, there are differences between plates, the writing becomes thicker, the stroke connections are not clear, and the thickness is uneven.

(3) Characteristics of printing defects: poor connection between multi-color patterns and patterns, incoherence in the splicing of the layout or too much or too little overlapping parts, color overflow at the edge of the trademark, and the place where it should be printed is not printed.

(4) Characteristics of die-cutting defects: There are uncut fibers outside the trimmed edge, the trimmed edge does not have the same undulations as the trademark edge, and the trimmed edge is defective and not smooth.

2. Check the product logo

(l) Have a product quality inspection certificate ;

(2) The product name, manufacturer name and address must be marked in Chinese;

(3) According to the characteristics and use requirements of the product, product specifications, grades, and all If the name and content of the main ingredients are included, they should be marked;

The labels of counterfeit and shoddy goods are generally not produced by regular companies, and the outer packaging labels may be incomplete, or written indiscriminately, or they may have fake quality award marks to deceive consumers.

3. Inspect the unique marks of the goods

Some famous and high-quality goods also have special marks on specific parts of them, such as flying pigeons, phoenix, etc. Forever, the three major domestic famous brand bicycles have special marks on the handlebars, bells, seats, farm frames, rims, etc.

4. Check the name of the manufacturer of the product

Some traditional famous and high-quality products are named after place names. There are often many manufacturers of the same product but only one authentic traditional famous and high-quality product, so you must look for the factory name. For example, the authentic and famous "Dezhou Braised Chicken" is produced by China Dezhou Braised Chicken Corporation and its registered trademark is Dezhou Brand. The authentic and famous "Jinhua Ham" has "Made by Zhejiang Food Company" and "Jinhua Ham" on it. Although it has the seal of "Jinhua Ham", the manufacturer is not "Zhejiang Food Company" , most of them are fakes.

The packaging of famous and high-quality products uses good quality materials, standard decoration and printing, fixed colors and patterns, accurate overprinting, clear patterns, and realistic images. Counterfeit goods generally have rough packaging, fuzzy patterns, old colors, and poor packaging materials. Comparing genuine and fake products can help you identify them.

Most famous and high-quality product packaging uses advanced mechanical sealing, which is smooth and smooth, and the contents do not leak. Whether the counterfeit and shoddy goods are packaged in genuine packages or in forged or recycled packages, the seals are often manually operated and uneven, often with wrinkles or cracks. If you carefully inspect the seals, you can often find flaws. For example, if you are counterfeiting famous wine, if you turn the bottle upside down, the wine will often flow out. If you smell it with your nose, you can detect the smell of the wine.

Pay special attention to products with obvious signs of unpacking on the packaging seal, as this may be a case of "stealing".

Many famous and high-quality product packages have barcodes uniformly compiled by the China Article Coding Center, which can be scanned by a laser scanner and recognized by computers. Counterfeit goods often do not have this mark, or they use random black straight stripes of varying thicknesses and numbers to deceive consumers. When scanned with a laser scanner, there is no normal reaction and the computer cannot recognize it.

9. Look at the mold, moisture, impurities, crystallization, shape, and structure of the product.

Sales and use of drugs and foods that are moldy should be prohibited. If powdery products (such as flour, medicinal powder, cement, etc.) appear clumps, it indicates failure or deterioration due to moisture.

When checking cigarettes, you can pinch them with your hands. Brand-name cigarettes in sticks will feel hard when pinched from the outside. Counterfeit brand-name cigarettes in sticks often contain sub-brand cigarettes wrapped in soft paper. The paper will feel soft when pinched lightly. .
