Highlights

Trends

There’s a wealth of exciting developments happening in the world of banknote production and security. And with today’s innovations, anti-counterfeit features play a crucial role in the design and appearance of the note too – no wonder, as these are just as important as security. As a proven and recognised high-tech enterprise, Louisenthal is particularly proud of its extensive teams of scientists and engineers. Every day, they research, develop and test new technologies – and more advanced versions of existing techniques – to make your banknotes even more secure. Here’s a selection.

Counterfeit Resilience Starts from Within

Counterfeit resilience is not something added at the end of banknote design. It is built into the architecture of the note, and it works best when substrate and print are designed as one reinforcing system.

Experience Design That Works

What makes great banknote design, beyond aesthetics? For Marc Mittelstaedt, Head of Design at G+D, one thing is clear: a banknote has to work – technologically, creatively, and in circulation.

Banknote durability

When you’re looking to maximise the life of your banknotes – to reduce the cost, frequency and environmental impact of reprinting – the substrate you use is crucial – specially in tropical countries.

Reducing the unfit, adding the value

Circular thinking, engineered: At G+D, cotton based banknotes at the end of their lifecycle become new potential – through Banknote Fiber Extraction (BFE), waste transforms into a valuable raw material used for paper production.

The Life of a Banknote

The banknote industry needs a fundamental rethink of how currency is managed from raw material sourcing through to its eventual end-of-life. Louisenthal adopts a holistic view of the entire banknote lifecycle to ensure environmental responsibility at every stage.
