Banknote Substrates
The right combination of substrate and security forms the foundation of a trusted and efficient cash cycle. Louisenthal works closely with central banks and printers to develop innovative and flexible substrate concepts that meet every practical requirement. Our portfolio provides the right solution for all climatic conditions and across every denomination within a banknote series.
Banknote Compass Intelligence – empowering you to make the right decision at the right time.
Central banks generate vast amounts of data every day within the cash cycle. Yet not all organizations have the time or resources to fully analyze this information. To address this challenge, Giesecke+Devrient has developed Banknote Compass Intelligence – a platform that enables you to analyze your data effectively, or have it analyzed by our experts, to support well-informed, data-driven decisions, for example when selecting the most suitable banknote substrate.
Our data intelligence consulting is frequently used for:
- Analyzing return frequencies and the lifetime of banknotes
- Evaluating the performance and durability of banknotes printed on specific substrates or enhanced with special coatings
- Comparing characteristics of banknotes from different print runs or suppliers
- Assessing the long-term durability of machine-readable features
