Multi-layered security

We are part of the De La Rue group of companies, providing high security solutions to governments, financial institutions and brand owners worldwide. As part of the De La Rue group, we can also offer multi-layered security solutions tailored to individual requirements, combining secure paper and board substrates, security print and holographic security components.

Our authority and experience in the security field is based around an extensive technology development programme, ensuring we offer innovative solutions which keep our clients ahead of counterfeiters.

Purpose-built facilities provide full vertical integration of design, origination, material science and manufacturing capabilities and incorporate a wide range of fabrication processes for maximum control.

Here are the primary types of technologies we specialise in providing for our clients:

Dual Image™ Hologram
  • Two simple images easily recognised by the public
  • One pictorial, one denomination or initials
  • Can be applied to patch, thread or stripe
  • Where large central images required use Dual Image™
  • Can be combined with Multi Image™ Hologram for added security and durability

 

Depth Image™ Hologram
  • Immediate public recognition of OVD quality through:
  • Visible depth
  • Three-dimensionality
  • Strong colour switching and contrast
  • Classical holography at its best
  • Depth Image™ quallities cannot be matched by any other origination technology
  • Can be applied in OVD patch format
  • Immediate and intuitive public verification increases security at the 'frontline'
  • Enhances existing OVD security levels

Combigram™
  • Unique combination of classical and e-beam technologies in perfect register
  • Security across every level of verification deters counterfeiters
  • Unequalled range of features for instant recognition and validation by card holders and law enforcers
  • Sophisticated covert features
  • Exciting design potential to integrate different OVD effects within one overall image
  • Technology restricted to high-security OVD market only (currently protecting a financial card, ID card and a fiscal stamp project)
  • Available in a range of product formats

Multi Image™ Hologram
  • Can be applied to patch, thread or stripe
  • Can be combined with Dual Image™ Hologram for added security and durability
  • Multiplicity resists effect of crumpling
