Our Expertise
At Smurfit Kappa Security Concepts we have been extremely proactive in developing and providing solutions to meet the needs brought about by these developments. We have had considerable success in printing and supplying ICAO compliant Machine Readable Passports and Machine Readable ePassports, as well as providing personalisation systems. We currently produce and supply the ePassport to the Irish Government and have been producing passports for the Irish Government for over thirty years. In 2015 we managed the introduction of the Irish Passport Card. This project was one of the first of its kind in the identity industry globally.
Other Identity Documents
Smurfit Kappa Security Concepts works with a network of specialist trusted partners to design and supply innovative world class travel and identity documents. In addition to paper-based ePassports, we provide a range of cards to the market including the Irish Passport Card and the Irish EU Resident Permit card.
Our in-house personalisation equipment uses highly secure laser engraving technology to personalise polycarbonate and PVC cards. The personalisation equipment coupled with our production management system allows great flexibility and enables the issuance of Smart Contact or Contactless Cards as well as standard non-smart cards.
Our Approach and Consultancy
At Smurfit Kappa Security Concepts, our philosophy is to develop a total solution that satisfies the needs of the customer, the supplier and the citizen. We are a customer-oriented, market-led company where the satisfaction of customers is central to everything we do.
Our goal is to improve the citizen’s experience of the passport acquisition, from application to document issuance, in line with a country’s e-Government strategy. We aim to partner with Governments to create unique passports with aesthetic appeal, which its citizens will be proud to carry, and which the government will be proud to issue.
