Anti-Counterfeiting for Banknotes and Security Paper with MLT Laser Technology
Maximum security through microstructures
MLT laser technology generates extremely precise microstructures that are nearly impossible to reproduce using conventional printing or copying methods. These include microperforations such as dot-matrix structures as well as individual serial numbers with micro-coding for maximum security.
Material-flexible, durable, and precise
The non-contact laser process operates with micrometre precision and is suitable for a wide range of substrates, including banknote materials such as cotton paper and polymer films, as well as holographic labels. The security features produced are highly resistant to abrasion and remain intact throughout the entire service life of the product.
Integration into modern security and production systems
Laser technology can be seamlessly combined with additional security features such as holographic elements, UV and IR coding, or transparent windows. Inline-integrated laser systems also enable direct processing during continuous production without interruption. MLT offers modular components, complete solutions, and development systems from a single source and supports the implementation of customized security concepts.
How Does Laser Processing of Banknotes and Security Documents Work?
Laser processing of banknotes and security documents creates security features in a non-contact and micrometer-precise manner on cotton paper and polymer films. This allows elements such as windows, nominal-value perforations, or logos to be precisely integrated. The resulting high-precision structures are extremely difficult to reproduce with conventional printers or scanners.
Which Products Besides Banknotes Can Be Laser-Processed?
Laser technology for security features is also used for ID cards, passports, checks, certificates, and securities, enabling microperforations, micro-text, serial numbers, and transparent windows.
