KINEGRAM® APL - Revolutionizing Application - Orell Füssli Security Printing's Anniversary Note

The Swiss banknote printer Orell Füssli Security Printing celebrated in 2019 its 500th anniversary and, for this occasion, presented a beautifully designed new house note in three different varieties.
One of these carries a KINEGRAM® APL patch on its front side, displaying a futuristic snail, and using KINEGRAM REVIEW® technology on its reverse.
The APL patch was applied in a classic hot stamping process, using Orell Füssli Security Printing's OptiNota H of Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions. In the process, a laminate patch is transferred onto the windows in the printing sheet. The windows are created either in a separate step or in an inline process right before the foil application. The carrier is then removed as usual, cleanly separating from the laminate patch, which is now sealing the banknote window. The production at OFS was successfully run at standard production speeds under industrial conditions, including full quality testing against rigid expectations.
Now, for the first time ever, banknote printers are in a position to create window features for paper banknotes in their very own premises by using our KINEGRAM® APL.
