Session 1: August 7, 2008 Print Products and Security in Print Products Speaker: Roger Buck, Appleton You have a customer with a problem that needs a solution, and that solution is a printed form.  There are many types of form products available to you from cut sheets to unit sets to continuous forms to envelopes to labels and many more.  Some form systems require highly specialized products such as form/label or form/envelope combinations. Each of these products has special application and design requirements.  Learn when to use which product and what types of things to look out for.  In addition, these products can help you lower your risk of fraud by including security features.  Hear about the latest technology available to make your forms more secure. Instructor Roger D. Buck, CDC, is a Business Development Manager for Appleton Paper’s Security and Technical Papers Division. He has over 35 years in business document manufacturing winning several design awards as well as patented document designs.
