Verify every coil
Finolex cartons carry two QR codes: an outer code on the carton label and an inner code you reach only after opening. The outer one proves the carton is registered with Finolex; the inner one proves the contents are what Finolex packed. Scan both, at your site, before you pay. Our Finolex wire scanner does it in the browser.
