TrustIDconcept is an independent security printing consultancy working internationally to support the design, planning and start-up of secure document production. We assist with security cards, passports and selected secure paper documents; the set-up of factories to produce them; and guidance through the first steps of operation until stable quality and predictable output are achieved.
Kristóf Kalauz founded trustIDconcept in 2019 after more than 20 years in the security printing industry, holding plant and programme leadership roles across national and international projects.
Expertise, innovation and trust are the core values of trustIDconcept.
Expertise — staying one step ahead of forgers requires a broad understanding of current threats, materials and production realities. The only reliable way to acquire this knowledge is to be on the spot, close to production and implementation.
- Managing production, personalisation and shipping of ID cards and bank cards in a European country.
- Providing urgent troubleshooting and technical advice on passport data-page lamination in an Asian country.
- Converting a PVC-based production facility in the Middle East to a PC-based ID production plant.
Innovation — security challenges evolve continuously, and so must production concepts and security feature integration. Kristóf Kalauz is a named inventor on a registered patent in secure plastic ID card production, and trustIDconcept actively looks for practical, measurable improvements that increase security without compromising manufacturability. His approach combines more than twenty years of factory-floor experience with innovative engineering to create documents that are secure by design.
Trust — secure document projects handle highly sensitive assets, from production know-how to personal data. Our work is transparent, vendor-neutral and evidence-driven, because mutual trust is built on clear decisions, traceable documentation and shared understanding.
