Security Print Components
The problem of counterfeiting documents is almost as old as the history of documents themselves. As a result people have sought to authenticate documents in a variety of ways from simple signatures to wax seals and marks.
The rise of printing technologies and improved access by counterfeiters to modern means such as computers and scanners has required the printing industry to continue to develop new means to authenticate documents and prevent alteration of valuable data.
OpSec Security and its predecessor company Applied Holographics was at the forefront of development of the use of holograms and Optically Variable Devices for use by security printers. Our high security hot stamping foils and over-laminates have been supplied into the leading security printers for more than 20 years. This ensures a reputation second to none for the ability to meet the needs consistently of the modern high security printer.
Our extensive background as an innovator in optical and material sciences has generated technologies which are both cost effective and proven in the field. Each can be specifically tailored to a customer's needs and each can be combined with investigative and consulting services to provide security throughout the life cycle of a high security document. OpSec's products when combined with skills of high security printers:
