Document Security

Form Issues

The forms industry is maturing at a rapid pace. Participants will expand their businesses into new products or markets previously ignored, to replace declining revenues lost to alternative technologies or competitive pressures. This is evident by companies expanding into commercial printing, pressure sensitive labels, or advertising specialties to name a few. Secure document programs represent a product based opportunity for value added relationships and increased revenue.

Secure Designs

Over the many years that paper forms have been in use, people have learned those things that work well in the design and construction of a form. This is not necessarily the case in secure documents. There are a plethora of features that are all designed to deter specific threats. Like many security systems, the key is to optimize the level of protection and to select various features that complement one another.

Printed Security Features

A basic consideration of secure document design may be the printing technique that is used. We offer a wide array of printing options including but not limited to Intaglio Printing, Secure Font Printing, Chemically Reactive Inks and Infrared Inks.

Paper Features

Paper security features receive their classification because many are nearly impossible to produce if one is not producing the paper. Some features, like the chemical void, are actually added to surface of the paper after production by the paper producer.

Applied Features

Applied features are attached to a secure document by adhesive. To be secure applied features must be very difficult to remove without damage to the paper or the applied feature itself. They are more secure if they are consistently predictable in their performance. They must be recognizable to reduce the effectiveness of a simple replacement.
