- Banknote design trends
With overall banknote size reduction, there is an increase of the amount of Security Features
Distinctive and customisable
Our goal has always been to take the best of our machines and processes. Security Features development is no exception.
Pushing the limit of technology, we create features that are extremely difficult to reproduce using commercially available equipment while easy to understand for the public and up-to-date with the Cash Cycle’s latest requirements.
Our new specimen series issued in 2021 is a good example: boundaries of technology were pushed as far as possible, while ensuring efficient production, minimising waste, and making machine readability a flawless process.
Have a look at our new Laika series to see what Security Features are available for your banknotes.

SUSI Flip™ (05)
SUSI Flip™ is the most advanced UV feature on the market. A monochromatic image in daylight flips into a totally different, three-coloured image under UV light. All of this is achieved using only two plates and the ultra-precise register of the Simultan printing technology.

See-through (05)
Part of an image is printed on the front side of a banknote and the other part is printed on the back. When the banknote is viewed against light, both parts match up and create a complete image. This feature can only be carried out on a simultaneous press. Hard to counterfeit and easy to check, see-through registers are among the favourites of police forces.
