Private Code

Private Code is your own 2D symbology, drawn in your brand’s style. Generic scanner apps see a pattern. Counterfeiters can neither decode it nor mint a new one, because reading happens on our servers.

a generic scanner cannot read a Private Code; Satyakod’s server decodes it as genuine

How it works

Three steps.

  1. Design

    Pick one of eight templates in Code Studio, or have our designers draw a custom code from your brand guidelines.

  2. Print

    Batches render as a graphic in the ZPL job, so your Zebra printers print them like any label.

  3. Read

    Phones send camera frames to your verify page. Satyakod decodes on the server and returns the verdict.

Why it matters

What you get.

  • Unreadable elsewhere

    No public decoder exists, so copiers can’t learn what a code says.

  • Impossible to mint

    Each code carries a tag from your batch key. A made-up code fails the signature check.

  • Looks like your brand

    Rings, bars, dot grids or a wordmark around the code, in your colours.

  • Scan-tested before print

    Every design must read 12 of 12 times on budget Android, iPhone and rugged scanners.
