Datafoil® is a foil security feature applied to documents, plastic cards, currency or packaging for identification, authentication and variable data alteration protection. The foil used can include transparent holograms as well as conventional transparent foils. Unique die designs and secure die manufacturing processes are combined to create visually attractive images. Application of Datafoil® over variable data provides not only authentication via the optical features in the foil and Datafoil® dies but also offers a simple method for detecting an attempted alteration. Datafoil® is impressed deeply into the surface of the document, ensuring maximum adhesion, so when an attempted alteration is made the criminal will be required to replace the missing foil and hide damage to the substrate fibres and print during the removal process.

Principal Advantages:Attractive images can be designed to suit the application, the end user and the document. A tactile surface facilitates recognition of authentic documents. Attempts to alter or remove would be obvious to the eye. The effect can be machine readable. A wide range of hot stamping foils can be used allowing for regular changes of foil type with minimal cost. Can be combined with holographic foils to increase security features or brand identity. Can be applied by most hot stamping presses using flat dies. Fast and secure design and manufacturing facility. Secure application service if required. Application equipment supplied specifically to apply Datafoil® . Cost effective
