The presentation focuses on the state-of-the-art security technologies implemented by the Polish Security Printing Works (PWPW) in the production of passports, with a particular emphasis on their enhanced promotional passport. With over a century of expertise in the security printing industry, PWPW demonstrates its commitment to innovation and protection against identity theft and unauthorized border crossings.

Drawing inspiration from science, the promotional passport symbolizes unity and development, incorporating a modern art style and various security features developed in PWPW’s laboratories.

The presentation focuses particularly on unique technologies including specifically a new PC Data Page, as well as special watermarks, substrate coatings, and internally developed optical effect inks. It delves into printing techniques like offset, intaglio, and silkscreen, combined in various security features leveraging their safety against copying. Moreover, advanced features applied during personalization stages, such as laser-engraved microtexts, OptiqID^TM (optically variable laser engraved element with light polarization effect), AVIA™ (Data Matrix code), as well as Photoshield™ (a translucent feature in the holder’s photo), are explored, demonstrating PWPW’s commitment to innovative security solutions.

By showcasing these sophisticated security features, PWPW aims to ensure document integrity and thwart forgery attempts, inviting collaboration and emphasizing their dedication to excellence in security printing.
