PSPC’s subsidiary, M/s. SICPA Pakistan, specializes in producing high-security inks for both cotton and polymer substrates designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and counterfeit resistance of banknotes and other secure documents. These inks incorporate both Level I and Level II security features, ensuring robust protection against forgery while enabling easy verification at multiple authentication levels:
Our vegetable oil-based lithographic inks are designed for sustainability and high print quality, ideal for precise and vibrant colors on security documents.
These eco-friendly intaglio inks not only provide excellent print quality but also enhance the tactile elements of intaglio-printed features, combining environmental responsibility with advanced security.
Fluorescent inks become visible under ultraviolet light, allowing for quick authenticity checks. These inks are widely used for covert security elements that assist in the rapid verification of genuine banknotes and secure documents.
Designed for use in machine-readable features, infrared absorbent inks are undetectable to the human eye but can be identified under infrared detectors, enhancing security without impacting design aesthetics.
SICPA-Pakistan offers both visible and IR-Transparent magnetic inks that enhance security through machine-readable features enabled by the magnetic properties of these inks. Visible magnetic inks are easily identifiable to the eye and provide a recognizable layer of security. In contrast, IR-Transparent magnetic inks offer an additional level of protection; they remain invisible to infrared detectors but can be read by specially designed sensors, providing covert security that deters counterfeiting attempts while maintaining the document’s aesthetic integrity.
Optically variable inks offer color-shifting properties that change based on the angle of light, creating eye-catching visual effects. This feature is not only visually appealing but also highly effective in distinguishing genuine documents from counterfeits.
Our subsidiary plans to produce OVMI®, specially designed inks for printing SPARK Flow® features. These inks create 3D dynamic visual effects that shift and move when the banknote is tilted, enhancing both security and aesthetic appeal while making counterfeiting significantly more challenging.
