We have selected compatible safety points for the following functions: qualification/training certification, result sheet, matriculation document, certificate of authenticity, patent/licence, health or study report... The possibilities of use are very wide and depend only on the desired design.

21 safety points + 3 levels of control: Tamper-proof paper

The copy protection paper has 3 levels of verification:

visible to the naked eye

 visible only in UV light, the UV ink spring bright yellow or blue

 visible only with magnifying glass and/or microscope

Thanks to these three control options, verifying the authenticity of the original document becomes easier, even without any instrument. The control instruments only intervene in a second stage in case of doubt: certain levels of safety are not visible to the naked eye and require appropriate tools, because they are made on a high level of technology. Consequently, the imitation of the identical document is practically impossible. 

How to order your X21 secure paper with your company’s identity?

1. Choose your safety points

The table below lists all security points. Secure paper can hold up to 21 security points.

In order to build secure paper suitable for its use, you can choose several or all of these 21 security points. You have a choice between all these security points, but the paper does not have to contain them all. The number of security points depends on the use of paper and some security points are more suitable for certain uses. The price does not vary depending on the number of points, it remains fixed regardless your choices (except the 2 options that vary the price: the weight of paper with or without fibers and the presence of a holographic witness). The majority of the points are customizable, that is to say it is possible to choose the color, the text, the shape...

Security points	Description	Visuals
1.Coating increases the adhesion of toner ink	When a laser printer places the toner on the paper, it is possible to use a scalpel or tape to remove the toner from the paper and make a fraudulent alteration. The coating improves the way toner adheres to paper with an improvement of at least 50%.
2. Chromotropic ink	Ink visible to the naked eye and perceived blue. Under UV lighting, perceived red.
3. Micro & Nano text UV fluorescent	Nano-text printed in invisible UV ink, for example "SBESBE". It is a print on paper. We recommend to put 2-3 of 8 to 10 characters on all the documents so that it remains discreet. Micro-text UV visible with magnifying glass for easier control.
4. Ultra violet dull paper	Similar to paper used in the manufacture of cheques and bank notes. Its particularity is to be inert to UV and therefore brings out the UV ink present.  Invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green with UV light.
5. Guilloche design	Lines visible to the naked eye becoming blurry when photocopying and disappearing when attempting to erase text, in reactive inks
6. Rainbow colour graduation split duct	A rainbow color gradient is created by printing at least two different inks at the same time to create a very smooth color gradient. You have the choice of pantone for the graduation of colors.
7. Watermark "Eye" in two tones	Eye-shaped figures in two different tones, revealing only when a light source is placed behind the sheet. Embedded in the paper.
8. Ghost word preventing photocopying	Word visible only when photocopying or scanning the document preventing any replication. The word appearing in the copy is to be chosen.
9. UV inkjet printed image	Safety point only visible to the naked eye under UV light. You can choose the desired shape, here for example a patch.  Invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green with UV light.
10. Chemical sensitive paper	Visible reaction with the naked eye of the paper to any (chemical) erasure attempts. The paper reacts and leaves a different colour trace depending on the solvent used.
11. Solid nanotext background with security key	This safety point is a very discreet background design, formed by nano-words printed in a small place. This may include a deliberate error, an inverted letter such as the “E” shown below.
12. Solvent reactive ink	The ink used on the paper reacts and disappears in contact with certain solvents and leaves a trace of the attempt to modify the document. It is therefore impossible to modify a document, which is possible with traditional laser inks. It is possible to choose the color of this again.
13. 3D numismatic carved text	Text visible to the naked eye. Complex lines that are woven to create an image or word in a sculpted format. Difficult to reproduce
14. Thermoreactive ink	Blue ink visible to the naked eye, disappears at +27° and reappears later
15. UV ink encrypted sequential number	Secure sequential number is only UV light and is identical to that with penetrating black ink. Invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green with UV light.
16. Encrypted sequential number with penetrating, migrating and chromotropic black ink	This sequential number is visible to the naked eye. It cannot be erased because the black ink has penetrated the paper and becomes green under UV light. In addition, the ink migrates to the back of the paper and turns red. The last 2 digits are a unique encryption key to lock each number.
17.  Modulus check digit	The module control digit uses a combination of calculations of each serial number digit to generate the number. This is difficult to predict and seems to be a random number. Therefore, the counter-way will be noticed quickly as the control number would be incorrect.
18.  Front/reverse registration feature	This inking is visible on both sides of the sheet and complement each other. The image or form is then whole when viewed through a light.
19. Microtext	Micro text visible only by magnifying glass. Too small to be photocopied or scanned.
20. Hologram & micro-embossed foils (OPTION)	• The hologram: This hologram is embedded directly in the non-photocopiable paper and cannot be removed. The visual is not definitive, it is also customizable. However, it is only available in silver. • Hologram strip: This tape is similar to the one found on bank notes. It can be positioned horizontally or vertically on your anti-counterfeiting paper. • Prismatic micro-embossed foil :  different from holograms, it is micro-embossed. The visual presented is not definitive, you can customize the shape and color. Here are the colors available: Silver (ideal), Red, Blue, Green or Transparent.
21. Paper with invisible and visible fibres (only available for 95gsm paper (OPTION)	This option is only available for 95gsm paper. Fibers embedded in the paper are visible to the naked eye and other fluorescent fibers of 6mm red, green, blue and yellow reveal themselves in UV light. This paper necessarily has a 2 tone watermark in Triangle. This is an extremely difficult security to replicate requires a high level of technology.

2. Complete your personalized secure paper

Here are the last two choices for tweaking your paper:

-Paper weight: Depending on the use of your tamper-proof paper, the grammage may vary. For example, 150g paper will be more suitable for certification, while 95g is more common paper than that used in traditional printers. The heavier the grammage, the heavier the paper. 95gsm paper has an additional option (see point 21 of the table).

- 2-color overprint: Personalized paper would not be entirely personalized without your company logo on it. We suggest that you print your logo in two colors of the 2 Pantones (white is not a color). In the context of uses other than a letterhead, any other type of design is possible: specific graphics, backgrounds, Texts.

3. Prepare the mock-up of your foolproof paper

Now that you have chosen the safety points, we must build the paper model. It is about creating the desired final visual of your printable security  paper. We will ask you to provide us with a model ideally under Adobe illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, including a unique layer for each security point to customize. If not, a mock-up under Word, Powerpoint, Paint with one page per security point to customize will allow us to provide you with a Good to Shoot in return.

Please indicate to us all the necessary customizations details (colors, details, numbering, etc.) on each layer or page of your digital document.

Following this, you will be offered a Print Voucher in digital PDF format and its validation (dated and signed) will allow the production of your secure paper, with production deadlines counting from that date. Allow about 4 weeks of production time and one week of delivery.

Note that the tariff presented here includes the first 3 modifications of the BAT. Any subsequent changes will be invoiced 115 €, excluding taxes, per round trip.
