The vouchers are security printed with several important features that make them almost impossible to forge.

Developed by Flexicon, the vouchers have been available for several years, but have really begun attracting significant attention in recent times.

According to the New Zealand Herald, Flexicon managing director Evan Reiman said he expected to finalise a deal with an American company early in the New Year through Keymosabi, Flexicon’s sister company in Los Angeles.

“We believe there is untapped potential for big dollar business in the States,” he told the Herald. “We have a product with huge export potential.”

He said the vouchers were virtually impossible to forge.

“To illegally duplicate, you’d need a full-scale printing plant and our patented systems for printing them plus a knowledge of other security features.”

Flexicon has international patents pending on the voucher manufacturing process.

Forgery of vouchers has been a problem on the rise in recent years, with the arrival of increasingly sophisticated scanning and printing devices for use in the home.
