Why PrintSecure Accreditation Matters When Printing Exam Papers

Categorised in: Blog

Printing is an integral part of everyone’s lives for personal, social and business use, but the need for secure printing is on the rise. Security print services are a key factor of many products, especially if they carry monetary or social value. From exam scripts to diplomas, ballot papers to census documents, security printing is more than a technicality – it’s a public trust. 

As one of only 11 printers in South Africa formally accredited by Printing SA’s PrintSecure program, Uniprint Global offers clients the peace of mind that their sensitive print projects are protected by industry-leading security systems and protocols.

PrintSecure’s Role In Security Printing

The PrintSecure accreditation is governed by Printing SA, South Africa’s industry body for the printing and packaging sector. It’s aligned with the globally recognised ISO 14298 standard, which focuses on managing secure printing processes. Earning this accreditation involves a rigorous audit of a company’s security measures, from physical safeguards and staff clearances to operational protocols and process integrity.

Only certified printers can claim full compliance with these global standards, making PrintSecure an essential marker for anyone dealing with print jobs involving confidential or sensitive data. That’s exactly why organisations, governments and institutions across South Africa trust Uniprint Global to deliver secure, compliant and tamper-proof print solutions.

PrintSecure For Secure Examination Papers

Examination paper leaks or forgeries can undermine the integrity of entire qualifications in the education sector. Without security standards, institutions risk reputational damage, legal consequences and unequal learning outcomes. That’s where PrintSecure makes a crucial difference.

At Uniprint Global, every exam paper we print is handled in a secure, monitored environment, with stringent controls in place to prevent unauthorised access, duplication or information leaks. We follow ISO-backed procedures to ensure complete traceability, from design to delivery, giving institutions full confidence in the confidentiality of their assessments.

Adding Value For Sensitive Print Products

PrintSecure isn’t just about exams, it protects the legitimacy of countless high-stakes print materials:

• Certificates and Diplomas: Tamper-proof credentials assure students and employers of authenticity.
• Identity and Registration: Governments can increase efficiencies in rolling out secure projects.
• Ballot Papers: Secure election materials preserve democratic integrity.
• Government Documents: Prevent unauthorised duplication of critical state-issued forms.
• Census Papers: Secure print prevents false reporting and data corruption.
• Event Tickets and Transportation Tags: Avoid counterfeits, streamline admission and protect revenue.
• Scratch Cards and Gift Vouchers: Safeguard against fraudulent claims and redemptions.

Security printing embeds trust into every layer of the production process. That’s what makes Uniprint Global’s PrintSecure status so powerful. Clients aren’t buying a printed document; they’re investing in reliability, accuracy and confidence.

Why Accreditation Delivers Long-Term Confidence

In a competitive market, accreditation offers far more than a badge, it is a measurable promise of compliance, quality and protection. According to the International Organization for Standardization, certified organisations see an average of 60% higher customer satisfaction thanks to the rigour of consistent quality management systems.

By working with a PrintSecure-accredited partner like Uniprint Global, you skip the need for separate risk assessments and reduce exposure to potential legal, ethical or reputational fallout. It is a fast-track to compliance and a long-term investment in your organisation’s credibility.
