TECHNICAL LIBRARY
Technical explanations of security features, material compatibility and manufacturing considerations for authorized secure card programs.
Credential security combines overt, covert, machine-readable and personalized elements across the card body, printed layers, overlays and issuance workflow.
TECHNOLOGY 01
A security hologram is a diffractive optical feature that creates angle-dependent imagery and can be integrated into an overlay, laminate or card surface.
TECHNOLOGY 02
UV security printing uses inks or coatings designed to reveal controlled colors or patterns under a specified ultraviolet light source.
TECHNOLOGY 03
Microtext is intentionally small printed lettering used as a fine-detail inspection feature on secure documents and cards.
TECHNOLOGY 04
Laser engraving personalizes compatible polycarbonate layers by creating controlled marks within the card body rather than applying surface ink.
TECHNOLOGY 05
Guilloche patterns are mathematically structured fine-line designs used as controlled visual backgrounds in security printing.
TECHNOLOGY 06
A transparent window is a clear area engineered into a credential body and optionally combined with printed, laser or optical features.
TECHNOLOGY 07
RFID and NFC credentials contain an integrated chip and antenna that communicate with compatible readers using radio frequency energy.
