Security Features in Print Production

At a time when safeguarding digital and physical assets is more critical than ever, the print industry stands as a crucial line of defense against fraud and counterfeiting. As counterfeiters become more technologically savvy, the need for advanced security in print production grows stronger. American Print and Bindery is at the forefront of this battle, integrating top-tier security features like microprinting, holograms, and color-shifting inks into our print processes.

These features are not just advancements; they are necessities in our commitment to protecting sensitive documents, branded products, and financial instruments.

Microprinting

Microprinting consists of tiny text or images that are nearly impossible to replicate with standard copiers or scanners. Visible only under magnification, this text looks like a solid line to the naked eye.

Used extensively in items like currency and passports, microprinting serves as a subtle yet powerful barrier against forgery. For businesses, adding microprinting to essential documents helps safeguard against unauthorized copying and preserves the integrity of the documents.

Holograms

Holograms bring depth to security through their three-dimensional images produced by photographic projection. This complexity makes them a tough challenge for forgers, who lack the advanced technology for accurate reproduction. Recognizing for their distinctive visual effects, holograms protect everything from credit cards and product labels to IDs and official licenses.

At American Print and Bindery, our use of cutting-edge holographic technology ensures that our client's products stand out and stay secure.

Color-Shifting Inks

Color-shifting ink is another innovative tool in our security arsenal. This ink changes color based on the angle of view, making it extremely difficult for counterfeiters to mimic. It's a security feature that's as dynamic as it is practical, commonly found in major currencies around the globe, including the U.S. dollar. The immediate change in appearance, when tilted, provides a simple yet effective method for the public to verify authenticity at a glance.

The Importance of These Security Features

Implementing these sophisticated security features is essential for multiple reasons. Learn more below.
