Security Features of Watermark Paper
Watermarked paper offers unparalleled security features that act as a robust defence against counterfeiting. A watermark is an embedded design or pattern created during paper manufacturing process which becomes integral to the paper itself. The watermarks are visible when held up to a light source, providing an immediate and distinctive authentication feature. Counterfeiters find it extremely difficult to replicate or forge watermarks accurately. The feature deters attempts to create fraudulent copies of your certificates. Incorporating a watermark into your documents establishes a cost-effective and recognisable security feature that adds a significant layer of protection and authenticity.
Instant Verification and Brand Awareness
Beyond security, custom watermarked paper enhances the overall appeal and prestige of your certificates. The delicate and subtle watermark adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design. It showcases your brand’s attention to detail and commitment to quality, instantly capturing attention. Watermarked paper elevates the visual aesthetics of your certificates, making them stand out from generic or plain alternatives. This distinction reinforces the value and significance of the printed information you overprint with your laser printer or inkjet.

Watermarking is a long-lasting and durable feature
Watermarked paper is known for its longevity and durability. The watermark becomes an integrated part of the paper fibres, ensuring that it remains intact even after handling, folding, tampering or archiving. This longevity is crucial for certificates that may be subject to prolonged UV light, such as displayed on a wall, or kept within a vehicle. The watermark ensures that the security feature remains prominent and visible, confirming the authenticity of the documents even years after it has been produced. The durability of watermarking adds to the documents value and makes it a reliable choice for certificates that are intended to withstand the test of time.
Applications
