Identity cards and passports are among the most demanding printed products: they must be extremely durable and remain legible for many years. At the same time, they place high demands on print processing, for example in personalisation, printability and the integration of security features. Precise alignment of security papers with the printing process is essential to ensure consistently high-quality results. LAHNPAPER develops robust synthetic fibre papers designed for long-lasting security documents such as ID cards, or as a protective layer for chips and antennas in passport inlays. By combining cellulose with synthetic components, these materials offer not only exceptional ageing resistance but also precise printability, processability and finishing. Security features such as watermarks, fibres and planchettes can be integrated – ensuring maximum protection against forgery and reliable production outcomes.
With over 100 years of experience in paper manufacturing, LAHNPAPER is an established partner in the field of durable and functional speciality papers – particularly for sensitive applications such as identity documents and official records.
With neobond®, we offer a unique material that combines the durability of plastic with the integrated security features of paper. neobond® grades consist of a blend of selected cellulose and synthetic fibres, reinforced with a special impregnation. A double-sided coating ensures excellent printability.
pretex® is an impregnated speciality paper designed for applications where conventional paper fails. Thanks to embedded synthetic fibres and a specialised impregnation, pretex® is both water-resistant and exceptionally tear-resistant.
