The DSS Certified Printer Program (“DSS CPP”) will provide its member printers with the resources and support to introduce DSS anti-counterfeiting technologies to their new and existing printing and packaging customers that have indicated an interest in protecting their products from security issues such as counterfeiting and product diversion. The DSS CPP platform provides its members service offerings with value-added technology, as well as additional sources of revenue.
In joining the DSS CPP, member printers will be able to utilize and market the entire DSS portfolio of currency-level, anti-counterfeiting technologies that have been used to protect corporations, financial institutions, brand owners and governments against sophisticated, costly and damaging fraud for the past 25 years.
