With the rise of technology, fraudulent methods targeting identity documents, such as identity cards, residence permits, and driver’s licenses, continue to evolve. These counterfeit activities are often linked to illegal and fraudulent schemes, making identity document security increasingly critical.
As an enterprise specializing in optical anti-counterfeiting technology, Suzhou Image remains dedicated to advancing security solutions. We combine multiple technologies to ensure the safety and authenticity of identity documents.
Recently, we rolled out a newly designed optical security transfer overlay. Rigorous testing has confirmed its compatibility with the IDP S81 laminating machine. Once laminated, the bonding strength, scratch resistance, and overall protection meet international standards.
Here, we present the core characteristics and applications of this innovative optical security transfer film.
Core Characteristics of the Optical Anti-Counterfeiting Transfer Overlay
Material Properties
This new optical transfer overlay is approximately 21 microns thick and made from PET material, widely used for its high refractive index, heat resistance, and adaptability to various processes.
Its high-refractive index (HRI) transparent layer allows text and patterns beneath the overlay to remain visible, verifying the original information.
This makes it ideal for anti-counterfeiting needs in both book-type and card-type identity documents. Visit our holographic passport film and thermal transfer holographic laminate for more details.
Attractive Seamless Appearance
When laminated using a laminating machine, the PET base layer separates, leaving only the optical security layer transferred to the card’s surface. The final product is edge-to-edge lamination, creating a seamless and professional look.
The optical security layer is a type of micro-nano structure that uses light refraction and diffraction to produce colorful, dynamic, and 3D visual effects. This combination of anti-counterfeiting and aesthetic appeal elevates the overall presentation of the finished ID card.
Anti-counterfeiting Features
Once the optical security layer is transferred onto the card, any tampering attempts will be visible, safeguarding the document’s authenticity.
Suzhou Image Technology holds nearly 30 patents in optical anti-counterfeiting technologies, including overt, covert, and forensic security features. We can customize designs by integrating customer-specific information with multiple anti-counterfeiting features, offering robust protection against counterfeiting attempts.
Applications of the Optical Security Transfer Overlay
The optical security transfer overlay is a transparent protective layer. It can be used for card-type documents such as student IDs, employee cards, and healthcare worker cards.
Once transferred, the optical security layer forms a strong bond with the document surface, providing edge-to-edge coverage that is both tamper-resistant and visually appealing. This ensures the protection of key information, including photos, names, and document numbers.
In addition to public and enterprise usage, this transfer overlay is well-suited for applications demanding high-security standards, such as Identity cards, Driver’s licenses, Passports, Bank cards, and Election cards.
Its dual protective functions not only prevent information tampering but also enhance the card’s visual appeal and professional quality.
