High-Tech Adhesive Tape Solutions for
Smart Cards and ID Documents

Security printers and smart card manufacturers must continuously raise their security standards to safeguard the sensitive information embedded in their products. Protecting passports, ID cards and smart cards against counterfeiting, tampering and unauthorized access requires the use of state-of-the-art high-tech materials.

Vital elements in the manufacturing process of these documents are, of course, adhesives and adhesive tapes - ensuring durable, tamper-evident and process-safe bonding.
Our adhesive solutions reliably bond various layers - from cover pages

and inlays in passports to integrated security features and chips in smart cards. Engineered for secure identification documents, these tapes fulfil strict requirements for durability, adhesion and tamper resistance.
