Unique coding for FMCG, end-to-end — and only that.
Hive IP Ltd is a UK-based company specialising in the generation, in-factory or supplier-supplied print, cloud validation, fraud monitoring and consumer support for unique codes. We’ve been quietly running this category for years — including the largest in-factory deployment in European FMCG — and we don’t do anything else.
What we do
Unique-coding is the whole company. We design and supply the in-factory hardware (the ACG), we run the cloud validation infrastructure, we build the fraud-monitoring systems, we operate the Consumer Support Panel for our customers’ teams, and we work directly with the agencies that build the consumer-facing experiences.

Where we operate
Headquartered in the UK. ACGs running across customer factories in the UK, the Netherlands and Portugal. Validation infrastructure hosted on AWS. Customer programmes spanning multiple European markets. We work in English with brands and agencies across Europe; multi-language support for consumer-facing experiences is handled at the agency layer.
Who we work with
Our customers are FMCG brands — from large multinationals to category challengers — and the agencies they appoint to run their consumer programmes. We work with marketing teams, procurement teams, packaging operations, and brand-protection teams; the unique-coding stack touches all of them. See selected case studies →
How we charge
We supply the ACG hardware at no charge into customer factories and bill only on the codes covered by an active promotional campaign — the codes on packs in market during the campaign window. Validation, fraud monitoring and consumer-support tooling are included. Read about our model →
