Security Foiling Limited is a design and manufacturing company specialising in security hologram application equipment. Founded in 1987 and based in the UK, our staff has a combined experience of more than sixty years in print and engineering.
Our MicroPOISE™ desktop security hologram application machines are being used in document security projects in more than sixty countries with their use spanning almost ten years. Security Foiling also offers a bespoke product design service for security hologram application projects.
The most popular machine in our range includes our innovative SENTRY security access control system. SENTRY allows the use of MicroPOISE to be carefully controlled at all times, helping to prevent organised internal fraud or theft of valuable documents.
The MicroPOISE is a desktop hot stamping foil application machine specifically designed for the document security systems market. Its unique design allows anyone to use the machine safely to print a high quality security feature (hologram, OVD, Kinegram, Trustseal, Datafoil, Securigrafix and Photografix etc.) with minimal training and/or disruption to existing tasks. Variable thickness documents up to five millimetres in thickness can be hand fed without any adjustment to machine settings.
The increased use of plastic cards has resulted in the ever-increasing use of holographic security to assist in the prevention of fraud. The MicroPOISE automatic plastic card feeder is now widely used in bureau applications where batch hologram application can be processed quickly and at low cost under the same strict security controls as other card manufacturing processes. MicroPOISE is fast to set up and therefore suits the common need to re-issue lost or stolen ID cards quickly and cost effectively as and when required.
Securigrafix is unique to Security Foiling Limited. Where hologram costs are prohibitive or very low volumes are required then the Securigrafix security die technology provides a lower cost bespoke security feature. The Securigrafix security feature technology is found in the die rather than the hot stamping foil which brings the added benefit of being able to change foil colours and styles without incurring further design or printing plate costs. The Securigrafix security die solution is widely utilised in low volume applications such as cheques, tax vouchers, ID cards, certificates and tickets.
Designed to process A4 documents, the MicroPOISE automatic sheet feeder hologram press is perfect for applying security features to University Certificates, Cheques, Valuation Certificates and Bonds etc. The unique sheet transport system allows the application of sixteen holograms in one pass of the document through the hologram press. Processing sheet fed tickets, cards or labels is now very quick and cost effective. Documents can be personalised and processed in-house without the need for using sub-contractors and the associated security risk of non-secure transport.
Datafoil is a unique counterfeit security feature to protect variable data against undetectable alteration. Counterfeits discovered on cheques and ID documents are commonly found to have had the data changed in some way to misrepresent identity or the value of the document. A semi-transparent security hot stamping foil is combined with our Datafoil die technology to make any attempt at alteration much more obvious.
Continuous paper documents such as cheques, bankers drafts and tickets are still widely used. The application of transparent hot stamping foils to protect variable data against alteration is one of the most common applications for the MicroPOISE machine (Datafoil). The MicroPOISE automatic sprocket feeder has a user-friendly programmable paper movement system that allows the user to store each ‘job’ to reduce repeated set-up time.
Our new product for 2008, the MultiPOISE hologram applicator utilises up to four hologram printing heads to apply security features such as Holograms, OVD’s, Trustseal, Kinegram, Datafoil, Securigrafix, Photografix etc. Fully programmable multi-stamp positions to suit many print layouts of paper and plastic cards as well as the option to include a ‘reel-to-reel’ or sprocket feed system. Our holograms printing machine is quick to set up and easy to maintain.
