Countermark is a new type of data carrier - like a QR code but much more secure and easier to print in industrial uses. The Countermark app reads the Countermark which links to a website, an image or a PDF document. Countermark uses human readable characters to allow direct entry of the Countermark via the Countermark website and allows the top row of the Countermark to be included on shipping manifests and delivery paperwork.
