VariSec®
Guaranteeing global identification every time
What is VariSec®?
Governments and official bodies function on a simple premise – every document and every official transaction must be verified. YPB’s Variable Security Technologies (VariSec®) is a high-security stamping foil for use in passports, currency and controlled documents. Unable to be replicated using conventional printing presses, VariSec® already provides peace of mind to governments around the world.
VariSec® can be applied using conventional hot stamping methods and enhances other protection measures. As a strong deterrent against counterfeiting, the technology can be used on passport covers and bio-security pages for advanced security.
Often combined with our Mul-T-Gram® hologram technology, VariSec® keeps the world moving and brands protected all year round. Contact us to learn more about this YPB global authentication solution.
