Key Security Features Explained
Chemical Protection Paper
Paper produces visible chemical stains or spots if fraudsters attempt to use bleach, acetone, or solvents to erase written payee names or amounts.
Microprinted Border Lines
Border lines contain minute text (such as "AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE") that appears solid to the naked eye but blurs into a broken line when photocopied.
Toner Adhesion Coating
Bonds laser toner directly into paper fibers. Attempts to scrape off check amounts or payee names with razor blades physically destroy the check paper.
3D Metallic Hologram
A multi-dimensional reflective foil badge fused directly to the paper stock that cannot be reproduced by color copiers, scanners, or digital software.
