Colour mark

We would like to draw your kind attention to one of our most spectacular development: the colour mark, a special printing that meets the highest demands for security elements. Thanks to its unique features based on a special pigment technology, the colour mark means a new level of optical protection.

The application of this method is similar to what can be observed on the EURO bank-notes. It makes possible to produce any of the customer’s text, graphic or identity code on the base paper. The colour mark changes its colour depending on angle of lighting, thus allowing the identification of document’s originality without the need of special devices. The colour mark can not be reproduced by usually available optical and/or digital technologies, because those equipments are capable to recognise only one certain position of pigments tint. As a result of that counterfeiting is not possible.

The colour mark can be applied as a low-cost stand-alone solution, however its combination with other security elements such as holographic foil, magnetic stripe etc. provides a complex protection level for the widest range of utilization like from ticket base papers to legal documents.

Documents made from security paper must be protected against various means of forgery.

Security fibres and planchettes can be seen in UV light. These polyamide fibres are available in different length and width, some types can be seen by naked eye, others appear in special florescence colour under UV lamp. The self-adhesive security paper can also contain these elements.

Hologram foils can be applied with various texts in different width. The advantage of this element is that it can't be removed from the surface of the paper without any damage and it can't be photocopied.

The paper with magnetic stripe can carry information. Hologram foil and magnetic stripe can be applied on the surface of cardboards, the usage of these materials are advantageous for entrance systems and identity cards.

In case of some products the danger is not the total duplication, but the manipulation of the certain of their parts (numbers or subscriptions). This can be avoided by chemical protection, which results the impossibility of changing the data which is written by ink - as the paper will react to different chemicals with constant colour reaction. From the other hand, the authenticity of documents can be proved with these chemicals.

Other security elements:

• special surface treatment
• special wet - strength
• dying in the material

The innumerable options of varieties are caused by the fact that the listed elements can be combined and incorporated in papers or cardboard of any mass range.

Security threads can be applied in different width, thickness, colour and UV activity. They can contain texts (micro or macro) and they can be magnetised. Windowed security thread is offered for banknote, document, shares, transport and meal  tickets. The threads woven in the paper are placed like "windows" and are seen to the naked eye, therefore it is easy to make sure of the authenticity of the paper. The length and the width of the visible part of thethread can be various. Some threads become visible in different colours under UV light.
Various pieces of information can be appeared by micro-text on them so as to personalise the paper.
