A unique code on every garment. Printed on the tags you already use.
Hang tags and care labels are already printed for every unit you make. TrueGTIN makes each one unique and verifiable, so a buyer can confirm a garment is genuine, and you can see where your product actually travels.

Sound familiar?
- Convincing counterfeits of your labels and tags circulate on marketplaces and in wholesale.
- You cannot substantiate provenance or sourcing claims when a buyer or auditor asks.
- A garment is sold once and the relationship ends there, with no way to reach the wearer.
What changes when every unit is unique
Verifiable garments
A unique serial per unit means a copied tag fails the check the moment it is scanned twice.
Provenance you can show
Publish the sourcing and production detail you want a buyer to see, tied to that specific unit.
Register the wearer
The first scan is your introduction — warranty, care guidance or a loyalty enrolment.
Channel visibility
See where units are scanned, which surfaces diversion and unauthorised resale.
Care labels, hang tags and cartons
Apparel already prints variable data on tags and labels. TrueGTIN supplies a print-ready file to whatever produces them today, in-house or at your label supplier.
- Thermal transfer label printers
- Hang tag printing
- Care label printing
- Handheld inkjet
- Print-and-apply
- Carton coding
From product to proof in six steps
No new hardware. No line rebuild. The only thing that changes is what's inside the code you already print.
- 1
Create your product
Add the product once: name, GTIN, pack size, and what a customer should see when they scan it.
- 2
Create a batch
Enter MFG, EXP, MRP and batch number, then set how many units this production run covers.
- 3
Generate unique QR codes
TrueGTIN issues one serialised code per unit and hands you a print-ready CSV or PDF.
- 4
Print on the printer you already own
Handheld inkjet, thermal, in-line coder or print-and-apply — the same file drops into what you run today.
- 5
Your customer scans
Any phone camera opens the verification page. No app, no login, nothing to download.
- 6
Verify and track
They see genuine or suspect instantly. You see every scan, location and duplicate attempt on your dashboard.
See what your customer sees
No app required. Scan this with your phone camera.
Standards and retail requirements
Codes are issued as GS1 Digital Link URIs against your GTINs, which keeps them compatible with retail and marketplace scanning requirements as those move toward 2D codes.
- GS1 Digital Link
- GTIN + serial (AI 01/21)
- Retail 2D-code ready
- Exportable audit trail
