The return on those investments may include the following benefits:

 

  • Fewer damage returns

     

  • Fewer expired returns

     

  • Increased sales due to market appearance

     

  • Reduced counterfeit and diversion losses

    Those were the findings presented by consultants Joseph F. Noferi, Esq., and Ralph L. Dillon, Compliance Surety Associates. These findings were part of a presentation entitled Justifying Your Investment in Anticounterfeiting, delivered at Pack Expo International, held in Chicago in November.
