Question How do I know my Ernie Ball strings are original?

[Mikami]

So, I just bought electric guitar strings last week, but I don't know whether these Ernie Ball strings are original or not, how can I know my Ernie Ball strings are original? on daddario's strings, we can check through the product code about its authenticity, but how about checking on Ernie Ball strings? anyway I also have the product code on my Ernie Ball string

Do you have a reason to believe they're counterfeit? I think most folks would just assume they aren't fake, unless the packaging or strings have issues.

That said, it's a good question- maybe drop the EB customer service team a line and ask? (See the link in my signature.)

D'Addario uses the "player's circle" codes people use for rebates as a method of "verification". Ernie ball does not have a program like that, so they don't have unique identifiers on their strings, as far as I know.
