Tax Stamp Paper
We have great experience and a worldwide reputation for creating tax stamp paper – labels which denote that duty has been paid to the government, typically for alcohol and tobacco products.
Smuggling is growing even faster than world trade, with a lucrative market for forgers in both transit fraud and counterfeit. But, our paper is continuously evolving, ensuring that your labels cannot be copied or altered without detection.
