21 security features + 3 levels of control: an unfalsifiable paper

The anti-copy paper has 3 levels of verification:

visible to the naked eye

visible only under UV light, UV ink appears fluorescent yellow or blue

visible only with a magnifying glass and/or microscope

Thanks to these three verification possibilities, checking the authenticity of the original document becomes easy and straightforward, even without any instruments. Control instruments only come into play in case of doubt: some security levels are not visible to the naked eye and require appropriate tools, as they are made on a high level of technology. Therefore, imitating the document identically is practically impossible.

How to order your personalized high-security paper in your colors?

1. Choose your security features according to the desired number (10, 15 or 21 points)

The table below lists all security features. Secure paper can contain up to 21 security features. You must choose paper containing either 10, 15, or 21 features. For completely secure paper, choose paper with 21 security features. This ensures a unique, complex, and impossible to reproduce paper.

The price of paper with 10 security features can only contain the first 10 security features. The same goes for paper with 15 security features. For example, if you have chosen paper with 15 features, you cannot choose a hologram or rainbow background. These security features require an additional cost that is not included in the price of the 15 features.

In order to build the appropriate secure paper for its use, you can choose several security features from these 21 security features, or all of them. You have the choice between all these security features but the paper does not necessarily have to contain all of them. The number of security features depends on the use of the paper and some security features are more suitable for certain uses.

The price varies only depending on your choice of the number of security features. The majority of features are customizable, meaning that it is possible to choose the color, text, shape... These customizations will not change the price.

All prices are indicated for 95g/m² paper, which is equivalent to regular printer paper. For thicker papers (120g/m² or 160g/m²), please contact us for prices.

Security Points	Description	Visual Examples
1. Toner Adhesion-Increasing Coating	When a laser printer places toner on paper, it is possible to use a scalpel or adhesive tape to remove the toner from the paper and perform fraudulent alteration. The coating improves the way toner adheres to paper with an improvement of at least 50%.
2. Paper without Optical Brightening Agent	Characteristic similar to the paper used for the manufacture of checks and banknotes. Its particularity is to be inert to UV and therefore highlights the UV ink present. Invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green under UV light.
3. Solvent-Responsive Ink	The ink used on the paper reacts and disappears upon contact with certain solvents and leaves a trace of the attempted document modification. It is therefore impossible to modify a document, which is possible with traditional laser inks. The color of this ink can be chosen.
4. Eye" Watermark in Two Tones	Figures in the shape of an eye in two different tones, revealing themselves only when a light source is placed behind the sheet. Embedded in the paper.
5. Ghost word preventing photocopying	Word visible only when the document is photocopied or scanned, preventing any replication. The word appearing on the copy is to be chosen.
6. Micro & Nano fluorescent UV text	Nano-text printed in invisible UV ink, for example "SBESBE". It is a print on paper. We recommend putting 2-3 of 8 to 10 characters on the entire document to keep it discreet.
7. Image printed with invisible UV ink	Security point only visible to the naked eye under UV light. You can choose the desired shape, here an emblem is shown as an example. The invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green under UV light.
8. 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
9. Background with guilloches	Lines visible to the naked eye becoming blurry when photocopied and disappearing in case of attempted erasure of the text, in reactive inks
10.  Serial number with variable check key	The module check digit uses a combination of calculations of each digit of the serial number to generate the number. This makes it impossible to predict the number of the next sheet.
11. Nanotext background with security key	This security feature is a very discreet background design, formed by nano-words printed in a small area. This may include a deliberate error, a reversed letter such as the "E" shown below.
12. Microtext	Microtext visible only under a magnifying glass. Too small to be photocopied or scanned.
13. Chromotropic ink	Ink visible to the naked eye and perceived as blue. Under UV light, it appears red.
14. 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 turns 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.
15.  Secure front-to-back inking	This inking is visible on both sides of the sheet and complements each other. The image or shape is then complete when viewed through a light.
16. Hologram & Diffractants	The holographic witness : This hologram is directly embedded in non-copiable pape r and cannot be removed. The visual is not final, it is also customizable. However, it is only available in silver. Diffracting sheet : Different from holograms, it is micro-embossed. The presented visual is not final, you can customize the shape and color. Here are the available colors: Silver (ideal), Red, Blue, Green, or Transparent.
17. Thermoreactive Ink	Blue ink visible to the naked eye, disappears at +27° and reappears afterwards.
18. Sequential Number Encrypted with UV Ink	Secure sequential number only revealed under UV light and identical to the one in penetrating black ink. The invisible UV ink can be yellow, blue, red or green under UV light.
19. Holographic Band	This band is similar to the one found on banknotes. It can be positioned horizontally or vertically on your anti-counterfeit paper. This option incurs an additional cost, please contact us for prices.
20. Paper with Invisible and Visible Fibers	Fibres embedded in the paper are visible to the naked eye and other 6mm fluorescent fibres in red, green, blue and yellow show up under UV light.  This is an extremely difficult security feature to replicate and requires a high level of technology. Visible fibres are not available on 95gsm paper, only on thicker papers (120gsm, 150gsm etc).
21. Gradation of Colors in Rainbow	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 can choose the pantone colors for the color graduation.

2. Prepare the mock-up of your tamper-proof paper...

Now that you have chosen the security points, you need to build the mock-up of the paper. This involves creating the desired final visual of your anti-copy paper. We will ask you to provide us with a mock-up ideally under Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, including a unique layer for each security point to be customized. Alternatively, a mock-up under Word, PowerPoint, Paint with one page per security point to be customized can allow us to provide you with a proof.

Please indicate all necessary customization details (colors, details, numbering...) on each layer or page of your digital document.

Following this, a digital PDF proof will be offered to you and its validation (dated and signed) will allow the production of your secure paper, with production lead times starting from this date. Allow approximately 4 weeks for production lead times and one week for delivery.

Note that the price presented here includes the first 3 modifications of the proof. Any subsequent modifications will be charged at €115 per round trip.
