Custom Overlaminates, Foils and Security Printing

As the threat of fraud, theft and terrorism looms large, today's counterfeiters are more of a threat than ever. The proliferation of digital printing technology has made forging legitimate looking ID cards all too easy.

To help protect against this, our Secure (300 dpi resolution) and High Secure (1,200 dpi resolution) holographic overlaminates provide a powerfully effective means of deterring ID card counterfeiters and securing your organisation.

Visual Security Solutions are available including:

• Holographic Foiled Cards
• Holographic Overlaminates
• Holographic HDP® Transfer Film
• Custom designed pre-printing with Overt, Covert and Forensic security features.

Each lets you combine a range of standard and custom Visual Security Elements (VSEs) that make cards easy to authenticate, but nearly impossible to forge or alter.

Three visual security levels to meet your needs

Visual Security Elements provide the building blocks and flexibility necessary to design a visually secure ID card. Choose from the following levels of custom-designed VSEs based on your security needs:

Level 1: Overt (Two VSEs minimum) Overt VSEs are visible to the human eye and designed to make ID authentication easy to verify. Overt VSEs include:

• Flip images
• 2D/3D imaging effect
• Pseudo colour
• Fine line designs (Guilloche)
• Morphing images

Level 2: Covert (One VSE minimum) Covert VSEs cannot be read by the human eye without a peripheral device such as a magnifying glass (loupe) or UV light to interpret and visualise. Covert VSEs include:

• Hidden text
• Micro text
• UV printing

Level 3: Forensic (One VSE minimum) Forensic VSEs are the most difficult for a counterfeiter to detect - requiring extraordinary efforts to reveal and replicate. An example of a Forensic VSE is:

• Nano text

Overt VSEs act as sophisticated visible deterrents. They discourage replication and help to provide instant authentication.

Covert and Forensic VSEs offer a higher level of card security, harbouring complex, unforeseen obstacles for counterfeiters. If a fraudulent card is created, verification of these missing microscopic elements can lead to the discovery of a fraudster.
