Which type of visual security is right for your organization's card design?

Security embedded on the card. HID Global's HoloMark™ and VeriMark™ visual security elements are created via a precise foil hot-stamping process. The foil is embedded on the card, and the tamper-evident image appears above the surface of the card. Your design must allow a clear space around the mark for printing on these types of cards.

Security embedded in the card. HID Global's translucent and metallized foil cards are created via a precise foil layering process. The foil is embedded in the card and the tamper-evident image appears below the surface of the card. No clear space is necessary for printing on these types of cards.

One look tells ID counterfeiters that they're defeated before they even try.

HID FARGO® Visual Security Solutions add vital protection to your ID cards — and to your organization.

A photo ID printed on a plain white plastic card offers no protection against counterfeiting. To protect against this risk, HID Global® offers a range of visual security elements and overlaminates that can help ensure that your identity is always secure.

Whether they are embedded on the card or just below the surface, HID Global's visual security features and highly secure overlaminates become a part of the card itself, making it virtually tamper-proof.

The Anatomy of a High Secure ID Card

HID FARGO Visual Security Solutions give you the flexibility and protection you need to design an ID card that will meet your organization's unique level of security.

Holographic Foil Cards

Cost-effective visual security for your organization.

Custom Verimark™ Card

A quick and affordable solution featuring your custom graphic on an opaque 2D foil.

Utilizing a precise hot stamp process, HID Global embeds your organization's logo, text or graphics onto a silver metallic foil to produce an

easy-to-verify visual counterfeit deterrent. Durable, distinctive and difficult to counterfeit, VeriMark cards are perfect for organizations that want to add personalized visual security with minimum cost and delivery time.

Custom VeriMark cards feature your 2D logo, text or graphics embedded in gold onto a durable silver foil.

Custom Holomark™ Card

Your custom 3D image in a distinctive, high-resolution holographic mark.

HID Global turns the graphic of your choice into a one-of-a-kind hologram that's permanently embedded onto the surface of your card. The result is a visually

dynamic card that's virtually impossible to duplicate, yet easy to validate. Custom HoloMark cards provide significant non-laminated protection against ID counterfeiting. A standard HoloMark design is also available.

Custom HoloMark cards feature your-customdesigned hologram with multiple diffractive angles, nano text and laser-viewable images. Available in gold or silver.

Custom Translucent Foil Card

A custom design solution with your translucent foil graphic embedded below the surface.

Custom-designed translucent

holograms are embedded in the card stock — just below the surface — for maximum durability and security. The design can incorporate

customized visual security elements. Ideal for designs where printing will cover the embedded image and create a translucent "watermark" effect on the card.

Custom translucent foil cards are also available preprinted. Ask your authorized HID Global partner for details.

Custom Metallized Foil Card

A custom design solution with your metallized foil graphic embedded below the surface.

Custom-designed, metallized holograms are securely layered inside the card's construction — just below the surface. This provides maximum durability

and resistance to counterfeiting or tampering. Metallized Holographic Foil Cards are ideal for organizations that desire a sense of security and a sense of style in their cards.

Custom Metallized Foil Cards are also available preprinted. Ask your authorized HID Global partner for details.

Visual Security Elements (VSEs) For Holographic Foil Cards

Use these examples to help create your own custom Holographic Foil Card.

The building blocks for a counterfeit-resistant ID card.

By adding one or more of these VSEs personalized to your organization's custom card design, you immediately increase your protection against ID card counterfeiting and tampering.

HID Global's range of visual security elements are tamperresistant and instantly verifiable, whether they are permanently embedded on or in the card. Both card types represent today's minimum requirement for a secure card identity system and are considerably more secure than unmarked, easily replicated white cards.

Custom VeriMark Foil (not shown on these cards)

Custom VeriMark Cards feature your 2D logo, text or graphics embedded in gold onto a durable silver foil.

Custom or Standard HoloMark Foil (not shown on these cards)

Custom HoloMark Cards can feature your custom-designed hologram with multiple VSEs. Available in gold or silver.

Custom Translucent Holographic Artwork

Your custom translucent hologram is securely embedded inside the card's construction — just below the surface. This provides maximum durability and resistance to counterfeiting or tampering, and is available in unprinted and preprinted cards.

Translucent Foil Card

Custom Micro Text

This microscopic type is so detailed, it cannot be duplicated via dyesublimation, inkjet or laser printers. Carefully placed within a line or an element of artwork, it appears only under

magnification. Here, the words "NO FRAUD" are seen in the purple border.

Custom Invisible UV Ink

Invisible to the naked eye, these covert graphics come to life and turn red when viewed under ultraviolet light.

Metallized Foil Card (Shown with Full-Color Pre-Print)

Custom Full-Color Secure Printing

Advanced printing techniques such as rainbow, guilloche, fine line and microprinting deter counterfeit. Complex printing patterns cannot be reproduced by photographic equipment and complex colors are difficult for color copiers and scanners to reproduce accurately.

Holographic Overlaminates Added visual protection and durability for your ID cards.

A photo ID printed on a plain white plastic card has virtually no defense against counterfeiters. It's all too easy, using today's digital technology, to forge legitimate-looking IDs. But a FARGO Holographic Overlaminate gives an ID card a high level of protection by adding Visual Security Elements (VSEs) that are extremely difficult to forge, yet easy to authenticate.

An overlaminate also makes cards more resistant to everyday wear and tear. Give the ID cards that protect your organization formidable protection of their own, with a FARGO Holographic Overlaminate.

Visual Security Elements (VSEs)

For Custom High Secure Holographic Overlaminates

The building blocks for a counterfeit-resistant ID card.

By adding one or more of these VSEs, personalized to your organization's custom overlaminate design, you immediately increase your protection against ID card counterfeiting and tampering.

The holographic imagery shown here is an example of a custom high secure overlaminate. The image is also registered on the ID card which ensures that it will appear in the same position from card to card. The result? An ID card that is extremely difficult to forge, yet easy to verify.

Custom Morphing Images

Morphing Images consist of graduating images which give the illusion of animation. This effect is very time-consuming and difficult for ID card counterfeiters to duplicate. In this example image, the electrons morph on a path simulating rotation around the nucleus.

Custom Fine Line Design (Guilloche)

When viewed at certain angles, these complex fine lines give the illusion of motion. Too small to be effectively reproduced on desktop printers, these lines and patterns can be easily verified by the naked eye with a simple turn of the card. In the example image above, the lines appear to move around the globe and have clockwise

and counter-clockwise

movement.

Custom Laser

(Not shown on example card)

One of our most sophisticated, covert VSEs available. This invisible alphanumeric type can only be viewed with a laser, making it ideal for highlevel security applications

where verification of authenticity is missioncritical. In this inset example, the word AUTHENTIC is repeated within the holographic artwork.

Viewable Text

Custom Nano Text

(Not shown on example card)

Viewable only under highpowered magnification, a string of microscopic alphanumeric type is strategically placed within the thin lines of an art element. This inset example

image contains the word "VALID." Note that designated areas have specific typographic errors, (VALDI). This provides one more level of covert detail to assist in verification of authenticity.

Custom Micro Text

This microscopic type is so detailed, it cannot be duplicated via dyesublimation, ink jet or laser

printers. Here, "GLOBE LABS CLASSIFIED" is placed in a designated area within the fine line design (Guilloche). This is an excellent covert feature for authenticating an ID.

Custom Pseudo Color

An effective and attractive element that is difficult to duplicate, yet very easy to verify. Tilt the card one way,

and you see metallic, holographic tones in your image. Tilt it again and you see saturated, true colors along with atomic numbers and other details. In this example image, the card is angled to show the many varying bright colors of the noble gases from the periodic table.

Custom Flip Image (Not shown on example card)

This VSE provides

a sophisticated level of animation that is extremely difficult to duplicate. It features left/right, top/bottom or any combination of opposite-facing artwork. In this inset example, the small globe flips from Eastern Hemisphere to Western Hemisphere when the card is angled.

Custom High Secure Example Image

Use these examples to help create your own custom high secure overlaminate.

Custom 2D/3D Ribbon (Not shown on example card)

Provides a complex background image, yet requires no special lights or readers to

verify. The detailed artwork is a combination of sophisticated two- and three-dimensional flowing ribbons. In this example image, the 2D/3D Ribbon interacts and integrates with the other visual security elements, providing full image coverage over the entire card.
