Jun88 offers an extensive of specialty films that help create excellent, secure ID documents. This includes ID cards and driver's licenses made from Makrofol? ID polycarbonate (PC) films, as well as passports made using Platilon? thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film materials. Through advanced PC and TPU films, the company develops security feature integration solutions that not only make ID documents highly counterfeit-resistant, but also easy to authenticate.
New horizons in passport booklet security
The industry agrees: Identity documents made of monolithic polymer laminates such as polycarbonate offer increased security against counterfeiting. The foundation for the higher security is multiple features, embedded in various layers of polymer films that are laminated under the influence of heat and pressure in such a way that separation of the layers is impossible without irreparable damage to the document. "We are advancing the concept of multi-layered and laminated security features, from Makrofol? polycarbonate data pages to passport covers that use embossed and embedded features to help increase the security level," says Daniel Hentschel, Global Segment Manager Identification.
As part of its program at Trustech 2023, Jun88 is therefore proud to present its new concepts for passport booklets, where Platilon? TPU films play a central role by offering passport color, design flexibility and high anti-counterfeiting properties. These Platilon? TPU films from Jun88 are suitable to produce flexible, wear-resistant passport covers that provide protection for embedded chips and antennas. These novel passport covers can be customized with different surface textures and colors.
The presentation of adjacent material solutions around identification documents from Jun88 to create security features, hinge connections, as well as passport end page solutions underscores its commitment to the fight against counterfeiting. The result is an integrative ID material concept that is not only safe and durable, but also aesthetically impressive.
