Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions for Government

Comprehensive Anti-Counterfeiting Solutions for Governments

The dangers posed by counterfeit goods and merchandise in the marketplace can cause risks to public safety as well as cost governments a lot of money (tax revenue loss).

Whether it’s fake electronic devices with faulty batteries that catch fire or foods containing poisonous substances, counterfeiting has the potential to cause real harm. Fraudsters with counterfeit goods could present fake or stolen IDs when traveling through the airport or crossing national borders.

The technology of counterfeiting is constantly improving with online sales of fraudulent documents increasing in recent years. Terrorists can physically alter a valid passport (stolen or purchased from an accomplice) by changing the picture or biographical data.

Another aspect of passport fraud is falsifying documents, such as birth certificates, which are needed to acquire a passport. The birth certificate is a “weak” document due to the relative ease in forging it and has no photo or fingerprint requirement. Once a criminal obtains a valid birth certificate, it is relatively easy to get other documents like a driver’s license, passport, and other fake identification.

The ease with which many terrorists travel the world using fake passports or illegally obtained immigration documents puts governments under pressure to improve the security of publicly-issued identity documents.

Governments need to ensure that national documents are designed in ways that counterfeiters cannot compromise the documents’ security.

We offer secure tax stamps with multi-level and anti-copy security features. The most important security feature in the printed tax stamps that we offer is a high-tech covert-forensic taggant called MatriX-Mark™ Taggant. The super-invisible anti-copy taggant can be infused with a unique, project-specific, forensic signature to support court proceedings against counterfeiters with legal enforceable evidence. We also provide HSDs (High Security Detectors) for easy and accurate in-field verification of the tax stamps to be used by government inspectors.

Security Graphic Design Services

NanoMatriX is known for its revolutionary security design services. Our security graphic design services protect documents, certificates, and labels with custom designs.
Our designers develop a set of security graphic features designed by special software to create non-duplicable images through mathematical algorithms; for example, guilloche, relief, latent, etc.
We also offer technology consulting in areas of anti-fraud and document design services, and other security features added into the design for covert information with sophisticated security graphics.
  • Guilloche: Form of two or even more interwoven fine lines to generate specific patterns by mathematical algorithms. The structure of the design is an intricate and repetitive pattern that can prevent any fabrication or duplication.
  • Relief: Line patterns with line width modulation, wavy line patterns and which can enhance convex and three-dimensional display effect of graphics.
  • Anti-copy: Combination of special line patterns and graphics to form a graphic in split lines. Split lines appear when the magnifying glass is used. The split lines can serve as anti-copy lines, thereby being blurred out when photo-copies are made from the original document.
  • Latent image: Hidden patterns or texts. Integration of parallel lines, Guilloche, and patterns as a hidden anti-counterfeiting to covert information. The hidden image or text appeared when observing the image with a specific optical angle.
  • Microtext: The tiny texts can only be viewed by a high-resolution microscope. Any reproduction machine is unable to identify and copy the microtext but in dotted or solid line because of downgrading resolution after scanning or photocopying.
