Provided is an anti-counterfeit label with multi-focus multi-layer depth-of-field images. The anti-counterfeit label is sequentially provided with a multi-focus microlens array layer, a transparent base membrane layer and a microtext array layer from top to bottom in a laminating mode, and a metal reflective layer is arranged under the microtext array layer; the multi-focus microlens array layer comprises microlenses which are distributed in an array mode and have multiple focuses; the microtext array layer comprises one set or multiple sets of subunit pattern periodic ordered arrays. The anti-counterfeit label has the advantages that the microtext array layer can be amplified by 80-800 times by the multi-focus microlens array layer. The anti-counterfeit label is particularly suitable for popular anti-counterfeiting and can effectively improve the anti-counterfeit capacity.
