Visual Security Solutions Overview

Vital protection for your cards — and your organization
As the threat of fraud, theft and terrorism looms large, today’s counterfeiters are more advanced than ever. The proliferation of digital printing technology has made forging legitimate-looking ID cards all too easy.

That’s why you need Fargo. Our
Secure (200 dpi resolution) and High-Secure (1,200 dpi resolution) holographic images provide a powerfully effective means of deterring ID card counterfeiters and securing your organization.

Fargo Visual Security Solutions are available as Holographic Foil Cards, Holographic Overlaminates and Holographic HDP® Film. Each lets you combine a range of standard and custom Visual Security Elements (VSEs) that make cards easy to authenticate, but nearly impossible to forge or alter.

Three visual security levels to meet your needs
Fargo VSEs provide the building blocks and flexibility necessary to design a visually secure ID card. Choose from the following levels of custom-designed VSEs based on your security needs:

Level 1: Overt (two VSEs minimum). Overt VSEs are visible to the human eye and designed to make ID authentication easy to verify.

Level 2: Covert (one VSE minimum). Covert VSE cannot be read by the human eye without a peripheral device to interpret and visualize.

Level 3: Forensic (one VSE minimum). Forensic VSEs
are the most difficult for a counterfeiter to detect – requiring extraordinary efforts to reveal and replicate.

Overt VSEs act as sophisticated visible deterrents. They discourage replication and help to provide instant authentication.

Covert and Forensic VSEs offer a higher level of card security, harboring complex, unforeseen obstacles for counterfeiters. If a fraudulent card is created, verification of these missing
microscopic elements can lead to the discovery of a perpetrator.

Holographic Foil Cards

Affordable, tamper-evident security for non-laminated cards
Fargo HoloMark™ Cards and VeriMark™ Cards come with a tamper-evident, instantly verifiable security foil that is permanently embedded onto your cards for added security and sophistication.

These embedded foils give organizations without card lamination equipment a cost-effective means of introducing overt Secure or High-Secure visual security features onto their ID cards.

For comprehensive card security, you can layer your Holographic Foil Card with a Fargo High-Secure Holographic Overlaminate.

HoloMark: A custom 3D image in a high-resolution hologram
On non-laminated cards, Fargo Custom and Standard HoloMark Cards provide a high level protection against ID counterfeiting, by turning a standard graphic or one of your choice into a hologram permanently embedded onto your cards.

HoloMark Cards are available in both High-Secure and Secure holography.

VeriMark: Affordably add your custom graphic to a 2D foil
Durable and distinctive, Fargo VeriMark Cards are the ideal way to add personalized visual security with minimum cost and delivery time.

Using a precise hot stamp process, we’ll embed your organization’s logo and other custom graphics with our Secure holography onto a silver metallic foil, producing an easy-to-verify visual counterfeit deterrent.

Holographic Overlaminates

The new level of deterrence for the new era of security
The need for a higher level of card identity security is greater than ever. Fargo Holographic Overlaminates provide a formidable, multi-level solution that uses multiple covert and/or forensic Secure and High-Secure Visual Security Elements (VSEs).

When combined, these elements help to produce a complex, fraud-resistant ID card that will frustrate the most diligent and determined counterfeiters.

Standard and custom design options
You can add up to eight standard and custom VSEs to protect your cards, along with “registering” your holographic image so it is located in exactly the same position on every personalized card. The result? An ID card that is extremely difficult to forge but easy for you to authenticate.

Ideal for any organization requiring secure authentication
Fargo Holographic Overlaminates are a perfect fit for Corporations, Government enterprises, Post-secondary educational institutions and any other organization seeking incremental holographic security.

Holographic HDP® Film

The ultimate in visual security, all on one transfer film
Our custom and standard Holographic HDP Film consists of three layers to deliver the ultimate in card security:

1.       A top protective coating layer

2.       A middle metallized holography layer with High-Secure covert and forensic Visual Security Elements (VSEs)

3.       A bottom High Definition Printing™ layer

These layers protect against the manipulation of printed data on a card. When combined with the reverse imaging capabilities of a Fargo HDP Series Card Printer/Encoder, the result is one of the most formidable visual security solutions available.

Why is Fargo Holographic HDP Film so secure?

·  Attempts to alter printed data by peeling or stripping the holographic layer result in clear evidence of tampering

·  It is incredibly complex to replicate a sophisticated holographic image on HDP Film

·  Attempts to separate the holographic HDP Film layers result in corruption of the integrity of the VSEs
