Introducing the Tyvek® Authentication Program
NOTHING ELSE IS TYVEK®
A simple way to verify the Tyvek® identity of participating products, from the roll to the finished product.
The Tyvek® Authentication Program allows participating products to carry a verifiable Tyvek® identity through authentication hangtags and stickers, supported by a DuPont-managed verification platform.
Scratch, scan and view the result in seconds with a smartphone. No additional app or registration required.
A Verifiable Tyvek® Identity, From Material To Finished Product
Tyvek® has long been recognized across industries and applications. The Tyvek® Authentication Program extends that identity through the value chain by giving participating products an additional way to verify the Tyvek® material behind them.
What It Is
A secure authentication system that allows participating products to carry a verifiable mark of their Tyvek® identity.
Where You’ll Find It
Authentication hangtags on finished goods, and “Made with DuPont™ Tyvek®” authentication stickers on rolls, converted materials and selected finished products.
How It Works
Locate the authentication mark, reveal the unique code, scan the QR code and view the verification result on screen.
Who It’s For
Distributors and converters, brand owners, designers and specifiers, procurement teams and end users.
Authentication Designed For Different Stages Of The Value Chain
The Tyvek® Authentication Program uses two authentication formats. Both connect to the same DuPont-managed verification platform.
Tyvek® Authentication Hangtag
Designed for finished products across Design & Consumer and ADM applications, including bags, apparel, accessories and lifestyle products. The hangtag itself is made with Tyvek® material.
- Available in 40 × 60 mm and 50 × 75 mm formats
- Front: Tyvek® branding and material attributes
- Back: unique authentication code, QR code and scratch-off area
“Made with DuPont™ Tyvek®” Authentication Sticker
A reflective authentication sticker carrying the “Made with DuPont™ Tyvek®” ingredient mark and a unique authentication code. It can be used across Graphics, Active Packaging and Industrial Packaging applications, and on finished goods where a hangtag is not suitable.
- Roll sticker: 92 × 120 mm
- Product sticker: 23 × 30 mm
- Both formats include authentication identification and QR-based verification
Verify in Four Simple Steps
Whether you see an authentication hangtag or sticker, the verification process follows the same four steps. All you need is a smartphone.
