Security printing is a specialized printing technique developed to protect documents, securities, and products from counterfeiting, tampering, and fraud. This method combines various security features, which can be both visible and invisible, to ensure the authenticity of a document.
Typical applications of security printing can be found on banknotes, identification cards, certificates, passports, and high-value branded products. Common security features include watermarks, microtext, holograms, UV printing, and special inks that are only visible under certain conditions. Special paper types with embedded security threads or fibers are also frequently used.
