ABnote USA
American Bank Note Company
and Arthur Blank & Company

The year is 1943, and John Foster Dulles, who would later serve as United States Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, sits on the Board of Directors of American Bank Note Company. The United States government requests that we design and print eleven new postage stamps, commemorating the heroic and continuing resistance to the Axis powers by the people of occupied Europe. The stamp series receives worldwide acclaim, and remains a landmark in stamp design and execution.

Today, our powerful connection to the United States Postal Service continues, by means of the ground breaking Stamps On Consignment program. When Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Costco, Albertson’s, CVS, and other leading retailers order billions of dollars worth of postage stamps for resale to the public, they rely exclusively on the secure distribution and fulfillment operation of American Bank Note Company. And being entrusted with those billions of dollars of stamps by the Postal Service speaks volumes of the trust and reliability that have always been the hallmarks of the American Banknote family. Our secure service lines cover a broad spectrum — from passport and vital record production, to roviding household names like McDonald’s with end-to-end gift-card/gift certificate solutions (including printing, distribution, fulfillment, and e-commerce).

Arthur Blank & Company, one of America’s oldest and largest plastic card companies, provides the worldwide group with access to Arthur Blank’s a rich set of proprietary capabilities, high volume capacity, and intellectual property. When the United States Department of State needed a more portable alternative to the traditional passport book, Arthur Blank was there to manufacture the new RFID-enabled United States Passport Card.

And, Arthur Blank is a leader in “green” technologies, such as its corn-based cards, recycled cards, and biodegradable cards, which help reduce waste and the industry’s dependence on petroleum-based plastics. Since joining the ABnote Group, Arthur Blank has expanded into a host of secure card products, from government IDs to Visa/MasterCard-branded financial cards.
