KINEGRAM Photograph – Turning Secondary Image into Security

Transforming the secondary image into a primary security feature, OVD Kinegram presented KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH at Identity Week America, which took place 10-11 September in Washington, DC.

This technology is unique among secondary portraits for polycarbonate- based documents, says OVD Kinegram, and is extremely resistant to tampering and counterfeiting.

The inherent KINEGRAM structures provide superior security and can be fully customised during the laser personalisation process using standard equipment. Issuing authorities can also add national symbols, document numbers, or other elements.

As such, KINEGRAM PHOTOGRAPH is a powerful addition to the document security toolkit for polycarbonate-based ID and travel documents.
