As arguably the most valuable document issued by a Government, currency attracts the most attention from organised crime and therefore requires the most comprehensive anti-counterfeiting approach. 

Eluceda provides a range of Level 2 (Covert) & Level 3 (Forensic) machine readable high security features that can be included in security ink, threads, paper or polymer substrates.

Smugglers and counterfeiters have long targetted products that carry excise taxes - including cigarettes and alcohol - as a valuable source of income.  Where those excise taxes are sizeable, this provides an added incentive for illicit trade, which means Governments not only miss out on Sales Tax, but also other Duties which fund public spending programs. Eluceda are uniquely placed to provide technologies that not only authenticate physical and digitial tax stamps, but also the products directly.

Whilst issued in relatively small numbers, the importance of passports is critical to Governments as they facilitate cross-border access and are highly prized by Organised crime. As such, passports are very sophisticated security documents, with anti-counterfeiting at their core.

Eluceda provides a range of Level 2 (Covert) & Level 3 (Forensic) machine readable high security features that can be included in security ink, sewing threads, fibres, foils or even the paper itself.

With the advent of IT and digital printing, ID cards have perhaps developed more than any other security document issued by Governments today.

Eluceda has developed technologies to complement the innovation seen on the cards themselves, supplying technologies that are compatible with everything from "simple" paper & film laminates to the complex polycarbonate and hybrid cards used around the world today.
