(OTCBB:DCSS), a provider of printed security features which prevent forgery, duplication, counterfeiting, scanning and re-imaging for any type of printed documents, labels or packaging, announced today that it is partnering with The Relizon Company to address certain recently enacted Federal Aviation Administration regulations relating to security issues in the aviation industry.
"Relizon has entered an initial order for over 1 million pieces of Document Security's patented 2002 Safety Paper to satisfy initial customer demand," said DCSS Chairman and CEO Patrick White.
