KURZ KINEGRAM ZERO:ZERO for Banknotes
KURZ's KINEGRAM ZERO:ZERO is an advanced optically variable device (OVD) security feature designed for banknote protection. This innovative holographic technology creates a distinctive visual effect where elements appear to float at zero depth - neither above nor below the substrate surface - hence the "zero:zero" designation.
The feature combines multiple security layers that are easily authenticated by the public through intuitive tilt effects, while incorporating covert elements detectable only with specialized equipment for second and third-level authentication. KINEGRAM ZERO:ZERO utilizes proprietary micro-optical structures that produce sharp, high-resolution images with exceptional color brilliance and dynamic movement effects when the note is tilted.
Key advantages include strong resistance to counterfeiting due to the sophisticated manufacturing process required, excellent durability under circulation conditions, and compatibility with standard banknote printing processes. The technology can be customized with country-specific designs, portraits, and security patterns, making each implementation unique to the issuing authority.
Central banks appreciate KINEGRAM ZERO:ZERO for its dual functionality: serving as both a prominent public authentication feature that builds confidence in the currency, while providing forensic-level security for professional verification. The feature has been adopted by numerous monetary authorities worldwide as part of comprehensive banknote security strategies.
