Counterfeit, tamper and refill evident packaging

A packaging for a container comprising a mouth and a cap, the packaging comprising a shrink sleeve, a reference and a security label which comprises a pattern, wherein:

• the security label is disposed either on the cap or the shrink sleeve;
• the reference is provided on the other of the cap or the shrink sleeve;
• the pattern and the reference are machine scannable;
• the shrink sleeve takes final shape depending on the manner in which the shrink sleeve shrinks to seal the cap;
• a random spatial orientation of security label relative to reference is auto-generated once the shrink sleeve acquires its final shape that seals the cap;
• the machine scan enables determination of spatial orientation of the security label relative to the reference;
• and
• the machine scan, based on the change in the spatial orientation, indicates tampering despite the same cap or a copy of the shrink sleeve being reapplied to the previously applied container or a different container.
