UK-based Cartor Security Printers, part of Spectra Systems Corporation, has been awarded a five-year contract to produce definitive postage stamps for Swiss Post, which is expected to generate revenues of between $US3m and US$4m over its term, subject to demand and additional options.
The contract followed a competitive tendering process. According to Cartor, a key factor in its successful bid was its work in hybrid stamp solutions that reduce counterfeiting and stamp reuse losses.
Andrew Brigham, managing director of Cartor Security Printers, explained, “We are extremely pleased that Swiss Post has placed their trust in Cartor to support them with their security printing requirements. A key differentiator in this tender was our experience in developing and implementing hybrid stamp solutions with 2D barcode serialization.”
According to Cartor, the new partnership reinforces its position as a trusted provider of secure postage solutions, having produced stamps for over 180 postal administrations around the world.
