MicroPerf Article in the Banknote Industry News – Exclusive insights from the banknote industry
- Banknotes in circulation are still growing on a global perspective.
- Central Banks are looking for upgrading their existing banknote series, preferably without major design changes, as their budgets are currently limited.
- ZEISER is now offering a solution to add this upgrade features into existing designs of banknotes.
- The MicroPerf feature is a circulating proven and resilient feature, which was introduced into the banknote market by Orell Fuessli (the parent company of ZEISER) many years ago.
- Besides the Swiss 8th and 9th series, there are other countries who implemented this easy-to-recognize feature into their banknotes.
About Microperf:
- Microperf is burned into the banknotes by a high-power laser directly during the production process.
- The banknotes can be recognised simply and quickly with the naked eye through microscopic perforations (hence Microperf), when you hold the note against a source of light or in front of a light background.
- Moreover, Microperf can be integrated into each new banknote design and can also be used to increase protection in existing banknotes.
- Microperf is an optical security feature whose quality lasts for the whole lifespan of the banknote, even under extreme conditions. It can be checked very easily by banknote sorting systems.
- Microperf is very robust against forgeries. It is very difficult to imitate the oval holes of various sizes. No copy or printing process can produce holes. Holes cannot be recognised by copiers and scanners.
