proDOC

A range of "high-end" proprietary security paper solutions for document protection — comparable to CBS paper, at considerably lower prices, with a set of forensic checks built directly into the sheet.

About

proDOC is Holoptica's anti-counterfeiting security paper — printed with proprietary inks and carrying numerous "high-end" security features, plus additional anti-photocopy and scan-proof properties. It's designed as the base layer a document is built on, with holography, microDOT and DNA smartMARK layered on top of it where a document needs more than paper alone can provide.

Every feature is fully customisable — logos, alphanumeric text and watermark designs can all be built to a specific issuer's requirements, whether that's a national document authority or a single brand's packaging.

Features

Invisible to the eye

Proprietary ink that's invisible under normal viewing conditions, revealed only by the correct verification method.

Anti-photocopy & scan-proof

Additional properties built in specifically to defeat photocopying and scanning — the two easiest ways to attempt to reproduce a document.

Optional mobile authentication

Instant, real-time authentication from a mobile device, where a document issuer wants a digital check layered on top of the physical ones.

Built-in verification

Four ways to check a sheet of proDOC

Each proDOC sheet can carry several independent, low-tech checks — no scanner required for most of them.

In practice

No special equipment needed

Most proDOC checks are designed to be run by anyone with a coin, a loupe, or ordinary daylight — the point isn't to require a forensics lab, it's to make a fake obvious to the first person who looks closely.
