A Better Mousetrap
Get started at the product's design stage
When adding security features, it can be much more effective to add them to a new document in the design stage, rather than to an existing, predesigned document. LaBrant explained.
"It is imperative for companies to have an integrated approach to security, considering design and aesthetics in the evaluation process," he said. "When included at the design stage, security features offer protective elements that tend to resist counterfeit or forgery more effectively than by simply assigning a security feature to an already existing printed item." He explained that is because inks are offered in so many colors and styles, the design options are almost limitless and printers can produce secure, attractive documents without dramatically increasing costs.
