The Baton Book

Since its inception the Commonwealth has been at the heart of our business. To celebrate that, we created a hand made ‘passport’ to accompany the Queen’s Baton on its journey around the Commonwealth in 2014.

As it travelled, young people from each country filled its pages with messages for the whole Commonwealth. You can read them here.

Case Studies

Sierra Leone

Around the world governments are turning to digital technology to help protect citizens’ identities and improve border security. The transition to ePassport is complex for any nation, but Sierra Leone’s 2014 Ebola outbreak added to the challenge. Thanks to innovative solutions devised by De La Rue, Sierra Leone could manage key components of the delivery remotely. De La Rue worked closely with local suppliers to successfully implement Sierra Leone’s new ePassport system.

Fiji

Fiji is rightly proud of its natural heritage. De La Rue’s award-winning new series of banknotes for Fiji features striking imagery of the country’s flora and fauna, celebrating the country’s biodiversity. At the same time, improved durability and our latest security features ensure the currency’s security and increased circulation life. As part of the new family of notes, Fiji has also introduced its first polymer banknote in the $5 denomination.

Microsoft

For modern businesses faced with ever more sophisticated counterfeiting operations, proving the legitimacy of products is a key challenge. For the last 20 years, De La Rue has been helping Microsoft make sure its customers get the genuine product by creating secure label designs which combine attractive visuals with state-of-the-art security features. Once a label is in circulation, De La Rue supports Microsoft in tracking it around the world - helping maintain product integrity.

HM Passport Office, UK

The UK passport is a universally trusted document. De La Rue provides HM Passport Office with a total service solution, delivering a cutting-edge book that its holders can be proud of. This is underpinned by the complex and secure infrastructure which is essential to maintaining the integrity of the service and the resilience of the document.
