Individual security features

MLT laser technology enables the creation of ultra-fine structures, microperforations, and precision cut-outs for passports and identity documents. By using different laser sources – from CO₂ and fibre lasers to UV lasers – security features can be precisely tailored to the material and the specific application.

Flexible solutions

MLT laser technology enables highly effective protection mechanisms such as microtext, laser portraits, or encoded serial numbers. Our laser systems process materials online, meaning directly within the production flow. Single machines are also available for laboratory setups and development environments.

How Does Laser Perforation of Passports Work?

Laser perforation creates security features in a contactless and micrometer-precise manner. It is particularly used for polycarbonate data pages in passports as well as multilayer ID and security cards.

Typical applications include window cutting in the polycarbonate data page and precision dot-matrix passport perforation.

The features are permanently bonded to the material, abrasion-resistant, and tamper-proof. Subsequent modifications are practically only possible with visible damage.
