iDcentrix unveils technology to Asian market

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

iDcentrix announced it will introduce the company’s state-of-the art banknote paper and polycarbonate identification card technology to the Asian market at the 7th Annual Asian High Security Printing Conference to be held November 11-13 at the Millennium Hilton Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.


iDcentrix’s use of banknote paper, which can include complex watermarks, a security feature found in most world currencies and passports, is unique in the identification card industry.

The company’s patented identification card utilizes this high-security paper and fuses it together with clear polycarbonate. Personal data and most security features are therefore permanently melted IN the card, not merely applied on it – offering customers a tamper-resistant identification product to address the global issue of identity fraud and related security matters. [end]
