Security
The Miliani Fabriano Paper Mill - a leading company in the production of security paper and banknotes - offers maximum guarantee against falsifications and counterfeiting. Proof comes from the fact that, thanks to our technologically advanced systems and a complex, sophisticated finishing and security system, Fabriano is one of the very few paper mills to boast authorisation from the European Central Bank to produce paper for Euros - the world’s most complex, sophisticated banknotes.
A know-how that dates back centuries, along with the latest technology, allows Fabriano to embed anti-counterfeiting elements such as watermarks, security threads, shiny flecks, pigments and sensitisation in the paper and apply further security features such as holographic and silk-screen bands on the surface.
FABRIANO SECURITY FEATURES
Watermark: design, wording or figures that become visible when the paper is held up to the light. Invented by the master papermakers of Fabriano in the 13th Century, watermarks made in Fabriano are known and appreciated the world over.
Security thread: metal, micro-printed, fluorescent, magnetic, encoded, the thread can contain customised texts and codes that are only legible by means of specific decoders.
Fibres: distributed randomly or positioned in bands, the fibres may differ in kind, length and thickness, be visible or invisible.
Shiny flecks: visible and coloured, iridescent or invisible and fluorescent. Iridescent flecks change colour as the angle of the light alters. The metal shine cannot be photocopied.
Pigments: electronically-detectable materials.
Sensitisations: used above all for cheque paper. The stress caused by the chemical substances used for counterfeiting generate irreversible chromatic reactions.
Silk screen printing: printing technique with colour changing inks used for wording or logos in order to renders the sheet irreproducible even with the use of sophisticated photocopying machines.
Hologram: consisting of a series of microscopic indents created on a support. When they are illuminated, they reveal an image or design. The image may be three-dimensional and is created, during production, by a series of interferences originating from a laser beam.
