Keep your documents or brand secure

Looking for your tailored security ink solution?

Helio^NOTE

With banknotes still in high demand, staying ahead of counterfeiters is crucial. Our HelioNOTE ink range is tailored for all key banknote printing processes and security thread pigments. Known for printability, low waste, and durability, HelioNOTE includes inks for intaglio, offset, screen, numbering, and a robust overprint varnish. We offer overt effects like Colour Shift, covert features such as Infrared ASPECT, and forensic options for full protection.

Helio^ID

Our HelioID range addresses the unique security needs of identity documents, offering inks for intaglio, offset, screen, and durable inkjet printing, as well as specialized passport stitching threads. As identity becomes the new currency, ensuring the right level of protection is more critical than ever.

Helio^MARK

Securing tax revenue and protecting brand value are critical. Our HelioMARK solutions combine advanced, tailored technologies to safeguard both. More than just inks, HelioMARK provides tools for inspectors and consumers to easily authenticate products.

Helio^SEC

Fraud extends beyond banknotes and IDs, which is why our HelioSEC range protects documents like certificates, lottery tickets, cheques, diplomas, and shares. Even if these lacked security in the past, now is the time to guard against future threats.

Helio^JET

Inkjet inks are a flexible and cost-effective alternative to laser engraving for personalising identity documents and adding security features. At Luminescence Sun Chemical Security, we offer a diverse range of innovative inkjet inks, developed for polycarbonate and other polymer surfaces and direct part marking — all DOD (drop and demand) are fully compliant with ICAO Physical Durability standards.

Helio^DRS

Deposit Return Schemes require secure and reliable technologies to help prevent fraud and ensure accurate container verification. At Luminescence Sun Chemical Security, our HelioDRS range combines security inks, taggants and authentication technologies with advanced detection systems, providing an integrated solution for protecting Deposit Return Schemes and supporting efficient recycling programmes.
