KURZ Moves on With KINEGRAM DYNAMIC®

KURZ has been a pioneer in the use of diffractive optical anti-counterfeit features on banknotes since its earliest developments on the Australian dollar and the Austrian shilling. Its acquisition of OVD Kinegram (OVDK) in 1999 added proprietary optical features to its existing strengths in materials technology. And now, it has made another ground-breaking step forward with its latest optical technology, KINEGRAM DYNAMIC® – a new micro-lens based feature with depth, movement and multiple colours.

In its more than 30 years’ experience of making and applying diffractive materials to banknotes, KURZ has established a modular banknote protection strategy which takes into account, amongst others, the form factor (patch, stripe, thread), the degree of metallisation (all the way to zero tolerance between the diffractive feature and the metal area – the so-called KINEGRAM ZERO.ZERO®) and unique KURZ technologies, such as the ‘reveal the image’ KINEGRAM REVIEW®, which shows different images when viewed from the front and the reverse.
