LongLife is the durable banknote substrate for improved quality lifetime at an affordable price. LongLife’s microscopic coating effectively protects the surface of the cotton banknote paper against moisture and soiling for greater durability.
LongLife banknote paper can be exclusively customized to embed watermarks, security threads, and machine-readable elements to secure the banknote against counterfeiting. Virtually identical in look and feel to cotton banknotes, LongLife banknotes are ideal for displaying attractive security features in a prestigious banknote design. The intense compression of the LongLife coating and paper during intaglio printing further enhances the banknote’s anti-soiling properties.
