More tax stamps are produced every year than any other security printed item except banknotes. Known by a variety of names (excise stamps, duty stamps, tax seals, banderols), these are the ‘weapon of choice’ for many governments around the world to secure the valuable revenue derived from customs and excise duty on tobacco and alcohol, acting both as a record of payment and a barrier to the distribution of counterfeit products.

Tax Stamps: a Technical Study and Market Report is the first survey to examine and analyse the global tax stamp market for alcohol and tobacco. It provides invaluable (and, to date, unavailable,) insight into how governments can develop effective tax revenue collection regimes through the use of tax stamps, and how suppliers of components, products and systems can both drive forward the market for tax stamps, and benefit from the growing opportunities these provide.
