SWISS-MADE PRINTING INKS FOR SECURE DOCUMENTS
Printcolor spectraCRYPTs are a range of security printing inks widely used around the world in various security levels. Our first-class, modular spectraCRYPTs can be used in many printing processes and technologies and can be combined with each otherto an almost unlimited degree. This enables countless designvariants—whether as a tried-and-tested standard product or as a unique, tailor-made solution exclusive to the customer.
Security components
spectraCRYPTs protect identities, documents, brands and products against counterfeiting and manipulation. They prevent identity theft, product piracy, shadow economies, reduced tax revenues, espionage, terrorism and other criminal practices.

thermoCRYPT Inks available in many variations, which become reversibly transparent above a defined temperature threshold. |
|
 |
signaCRYPT Invisible markers that emit detectable electromagnetic waves upon irradiation with an excitation source. |
 |
 |
infraCRYPT Inks that become invisible or visible in near-infrared light. |
|
 |
polaCRYPT Hidden designs that can be made visible by polarization filters. |
|
 |
radiCRYPT Mono-, bi- or tri-luminescence that is invisible in daylight and emits rich colors under UV light with specific wavelengths. |

Modular System
spectraCRYPTs can be combined with each other in a variety of ways. This enables the creation of standardized as well as unique, personalized solutions:
Custom solutions
Over the years, we have established ourselves as a flexible, proactive manufacturer of customer-specific solutions. We identify your unique needs through detailed analyses of your requirements, production methods, printing technologies and
value chain and provide you with the ideal security solution tailored to your individual needs. We integrate seamlessly into your specialist project teams and create new, tailor-made designs together.
Three security levels
spectraCRYPTs are offered in three security levels. From naked-eye authentication to detection with detectors or even the need for laboratory analysis:
Substrates and applications
spectraCRYPTs can be incorporated into printing inks for almost any substrate and are therefore extremely flexible for different applications. Our modular portfolio enables customized, customer-specific formulations. For example, spectraCRYPTs can be incorporated in printing inks for polycarbonate and PVC to print identity or bank cards. They can be used on paper to secure tax stamps, ballot papers, tickets and packaging, etc.
Printing technologies and processes
spectraCRYPTs are available in many technologies for a wide range of printing processes. This enables universal and variable use in the respective customer projects.
The essential element
spectraCRYPT products are «Swiss made». They are developed, produced, tested and packaged in Switzerland. We strictly adhere to global security and ethical standards.
