safety paper, or just "DOCUMENT"


Explanation:
I would NEVER put security paper, since it might get confused with a security, which is another type of COMMERCIAL PAPER.
Document is the umbrella term here, since whatever is on paper under the denomination of "document" is secure!!!
100% sure

secure//security paper


Explanation:
ABNH's roots are in bank note printing and authenticating, and we have a deep understanding of the security and printing requirements of central banks and bank note printers. We recently established a strategic relationship with Crane & Co., Inc., one of the world's leading providers of SECURE bank note PAPER.

Crane has supplied SECURITY PAPERS to numerous businesses and governments worldwide, while continuing to win the contract for U.S. currency paper since 1879. Over the decades, the consistent drive of our technology has been in the durability, printability, aesthetics and anticounterfeiting features of security papers. Since being awarded a patent in 1844 for bank note paper with embedded silk threads, Crane has been a leader in developing paper-based counterfeit deterrents, such as advanced security threads, watermarks, planchettes, security fibers, special additives, and fluorescent and phosphorescent elements.

More information about our security paper technology will be added to this site in the near future.

Hope it helps.

agree  Jon Zuber (X): "Safety paper" is also used, but since "safety" usually refers to physical harm or damage, I think "security" is better.
