Cotton Banknote Paper

100% cotton. Proven worldwide. Sustainable by nature.

More than 98 percent of the world’s population pays with banknotes made from traditional cotton paper. Numerous customer-specific security features are firmly embedded within the fiber matrix of the cotton substrate. Cotton fibers provide both exceptional robustness and the familiar tactile feel trusted by the public.

The counterfeit resistance of cotton banknotes remains unmatched and is becoming increasingly important in times of affordable printing technologies.

Traditional banknote paper can be made even more sustainable through the use of organic cotton and security threads and foils based on recycled materials.
