Security printing
Security printing is one of our specialist areas. As well as being able to supply you with cheques that are C&CCC accredited, we have the expertise to advise on and produce many other securely printed products.
As well as Printed Cheques, our security product range also includes: Parking Permit Stickers / Forms, Security Labels, Membership Cards, Gift Vouchers and Event Tickets.
We can incorporate high security features into the design of your products, many of which can be found below:
Security features
Guilloche - Is a very complex pattern of never ending lines.
Watermarked Paper - This allows easy identification of authenticity. The watermark and ultra violet (UV) dull paper cannot be easily replicated. It changes colour when attacked with acids or alkalis.
Holograms - If photocopying is attempted, the refracted light on the metallic foil causes the hologram to lose its lustre and appear unclear. We can use one of our stock holograms, or a bespoke hologram can be created and used.
Microtext - A minute font size is used which can only be viewed through a magnifying glass. If it is photocopied, the text will blur making the message unrecognisable.
Anti Photocopy Feature - A hidden message is revealed when photocopied, such as the words FRAUD or VOID and can be used to provide another level of protection against fraudulent alteration.
Sequential Numbering - This gives a clear audit trail, allowing duplicates to be more easily detected.
Invisible Ultra Violet Ink - Under UV light, a previously invisible image will appear easily identifying an authentic product.
Security Inks - Aqua and solvent sensitive inks provide protection from attempted tampering using water and solvents. The inks will smudge when touched by one of these substances.
Barcode - Used at point of sale to avoid the denomination being recorded incorrectly.
