Vacuum packing currency and documents

Package valuable items safely and moisture-free.

The optimal packaging for valuable items

Vacuum packing currency and documents is common practice for many financial institutions and government bodies. It offers several benefits that contribute to the security, durability and integrity of these valuable items. Whether you are dealing with identity documents, banknotes or other valuable items such as legal documents, artworks and bank cards, vacuum packing provides optimal protection against unwanted outside influences.  

Which currencies and documents can be vacuum packed?

---

Files and documents

From legal, financial and educational documents to medical files, photos, maps and artworks; protect paper documents against ageing, contamination or damage.

Banknotes and coins

Package banknotes optimally and securely for storage and transport. Vacuum packing also provides protection against theft, oxidation and other external factors.

Identity papers

Passports, identity cards and driver’s licences; vacuum packing these documents protects them from unwanted manipulation, forgery and other external factors.

Payment cards

Vacuum packaging offers an extra layer of protection, making it more difficult to falsify or manipulate the items in question. It also helps guarantee the integrity of the magnetic strip/chip.

Advantages of vacuum packing currency and documents

Protection against moisture and air

Vacuum sealing prevents your valuable documents, banknotes and coins being exposed to moisture and air. This prevents degradation, mould, spoilage and oxidation.

Physical integrity is maintained

Vacuum packing prevents creases, tears or other physical damage to banknotes, coins and documents, so that they retain their quality and value. They remain in their original shape. 

Extension of shelf life

Vacuum sealing removes almost all the air present. Storing money and documents in a controlled, low-oxygen environment extends their shelf life, which means they will be readable and/or usable for longer.

Protection against counterfeiting and theft

Vacuum packaging creates a tight skin around the product. This makes it more difficult to forge or steal money or documents as any attempts to do so are clearly visible.

Useful for storage and transport

By removing all the air from the package, the size of money and documents becomes more compact. This makes these packages easier to handle. Ideal for storage, archiving and transport.
