Coptics Laser

To ensure that your banknotes can withstand the most severe counterfeiting attempts, we provides advanced laser microperforation to improve its security . Using laser technology, small, oval special-shaped holes can be perforetd through the banknote. The holes can be arranged in a fixed shape mode, such as value comment , or unique number and the serial number.

Laser perforation makes banknotes invincible , cannot be copied , removed or mechanically faked. In everyday situations, microperforation can be identified directly and unmistakably , it is also can be verified quickly and easily by professional cash managers or even by the layman. Cheking for this security microperforation holes is comparable to checking for a watermark, no need any additional tools.



Microperforation is the only optical security device that loses absolutely none of its characteristics throughout the lifecycle of a banknote-even under extreme conditions. And these characteristics can easily be checked with banknote sorting machines. The microperforation holes are not visible when looking down on a note, but is clearly visible when the note is held up against the light. This means that those holes are integrated into an existing banknote design easily. 


Microperforation also can combined with other technologies to create a security system, such as substrate (paper or polymer), offset printing, intaglio printing and OVD can all be perforated. It is an economical solution for countries isssuing larges volumes of banknotes , as it removes rather than adds anything to the banknote. Once the laser perforation machine is in place, there are no other costs.
