IT’S IN THE DETAIL
Years of crafting our print solution expertise, together with our longstanding collaboration with our global customers, provides us insights into real-world application challenges and helps boost our ability to collaborate successfully in key market segments. From academic diplomas to bank cheques, we strive to weave immaculate design with innovative technology to create beautifully secure products that combat relentless counterfeiters.
The strength of our design and print process is complex and customised with a multi-layered approach including visible, invisible, machine-readable and forensic security features. The first line of defense is overt security features that offer a quick and easy detection of fraudulent products. Our highly secure covert marking solutions use a versatile security marker, integrated into one of the visible or invisible inks to be read by a handheld detection device. All of these features can be combined as needed to defend the integrity of products, protect brand value and ensure consumer trust.
We partners with every client to determine the right security features for their needs. Depending on the vulnerability of a document, we can recommend the most effective features to authenticate the document and ensure it cannot be fraudulently reproduced or altered without detection.

UV Technology
As an alternative to costly and complex security solutions such as holography, UV ink prints provide an efficient solution for printing invisible codes, texts and logos for various security applications.
Fluorescent under ultraviolet light and glowing a shade of blue when illuminated by a UV lamp, e-mark UV ink only appears when intended.
Intaglio printing
the printing is done from ink that is below the surface of the plate. The design is cut, scratched, or etched into the printing surface or plate, which can be copper, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, plastics, or even coated paper.
Security Hologram
Security holograms act as a visible deterrent to counterfeiting offering exclusive ownership, access and control by the security printer.
Custom Numismatic Fugitive Design
SPS incorporates each customer’s unique branding into the background design of a document using high-level banknote software. These designs act as a visible deterrent to alteration and are extremely difficult to reinstate or counterfeit.
