Method of distinguishing the authenticity of Maxim's moon cakes from the outer packaging
How can Maxim's moon cakes be distinguished from the real ones? The easiest way is to look at the outer box packaging and open the iron box packaging. Hong Kong Maxim's packaging plastic Maxim's moon cakes are golden in color, while fake gold is green and dull. The wreath of the real Maxim's moon cake shell is raised, while the fake Maxim's moon cake shell is flat, because the fake Maxim's steel seal is very shallow in order to save costs.
smell
The moon cakes of Xinlimeixin are oily and smell like delicious peanut oil. Fake oil is not enough water, but it is not pure peanut oil. The mooncake yolk of Xinlimeixin is evenly distributed, and the incision is smooth and delicate. Even if the yolk is cut, it will appear oily.
Look at the QR code
Both true and false Maxim's moon cakes have QR code anti-counterfeiting labels. The 9-digit number on the first face and the 12-digit number uncovered on the second face are entered into the website of Maxim Group for digital inquiry (the fake website is moomcake.com). After the real Maxim's Moon Cake enters the correct number, a colorful QR code will appear on the computer. Check whether the color is consistent with the color of the two-dimensional code on the anti-counterfeiting label, and make sure it is genuine.
Look at the enquiry telephone number
The boxes can be made exactly the same, so it is difficult for consumers to distinguish authenticity with the naked eye, and fakes can pass the customs? Double verification? Yes, but careful consumers will find that the verification phone number of fake goods is different from that announced by the official manufacturer. Last year, a Taobao buyer bought a fake Maxim. The enquiry telephone number is 400-0755-384. The quantity is the same, but the order is different! The telephone number of the real Maxim is 400-0755-348.
