Banknotes, passports, and security documents in general demand a lot from the sophisticated substrate on which they are printed. It is essential that originality and security against counterfeiting are guaranteed, and they must do so every day, in every conceivable climate and usage scenario.
Lesser materials are simply not up to these challenges.

High quality raw materials, professional processing, years of experience and Swiss precision make the security documents built upon our substrates the most secure in the world. As a leading manufacturer of security paper in Europe, we have faced this challenge head-on for generations. We have the know-how to combine and use traditional features and modern advanced materials in innovative ways to meet and exceed the demands of our customers.

The blending of traditional paper making and advanced materials is exemplified in Durasafe®, the only true paperpolymer composite material available in the industry. The polymer component allows the seamless integration of see-through windows into a substrate at the same time as adding watermarks and security threads. Durasafe brings unprecedented strength, counterfeit resistance, and design possibilities to banknotes and passports.
