SECURE A4 PAPER<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The A4 format, secured in the pulp<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>A4 is the most requested format in security printing, for a simple reason: it is the format of office printers. The document is manufactured at our plant with its protections, then completed at your end<\/strong>, as needs arise, with the variable data of each file.

A secure paper<\/a> meant to run through a laser or inkjet printer is not chosen like a paper meant for a press. Three points matter.<\/p>\nGrammage.<\/strong> It must stay within the range accepted by your machines. Too light and the paper cockles under the heat of the laser fuser; too heavy and it jams. Usual grammages for this kind of use run from 90 to 120 g\/m\u00b2, to be validated against your equipment.<\/p>\nHeat resistance.<\/strong> A laser fuser runs hot. Security inks and varnishes must withstand it without shifting, which rules out some reactive processes and calls for others. That trade-off is made with you at the time of selection.<\/p>\nSurface condition.<\/strong> Security fibres and reactive treatments change the surface of the paper. A proof printed on your own equipment is the only reliable way to validate the combination.<\/p>\nProtections used in an A4<\/h2>\n
Watermark<\/a> in the pulp, fibres visible or revealed under ultraviolet, solvent-reactive paper, pre-printed guilloche<\/a> background, microtext<\/a> inside a rule or a logo, sequential numbering, thermochromic ink<\/a>, and where needed a hologram<\/a> or a VOID label<\/a> applied after printing.<\/p>\nPersonalisation and packing<\/h2>\n
A4 is delivered free of data but personalised in your colours: logo, coat of arms, legal footer, signature box, serial number. Packing is set according to your use, in reams for a department printing as it goes, or in numbered batches for controlled use with copy tracking.<\/p>\n
Other formats<\/h2>\n
A5, A3 and bespoke formats follow the same logic. A4 serves as the reference because it covers the majority of administrative uses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
