KURZ (Germany)

Overview AI Generated

KINEGRAM COLORS is an advanced optically variable security feature developed by KURZ for banknote protection, offering vivid, multi-colored visual effects that are extremely difficult to counterfeit.

The technology creates striking color shifts and dynamic movement effects when the banknote is tilted, displaying brilliant, saturated colors that change and flow across the security element. Unlike simpler color-shifting features, KINEGRAM COLORS produces complex, multi-dimensional visual displays with sharp color transitions and depth effects that engage both the public and trained cash handlers.

The feature combines high visual impact with robust security, making authentication intuitive for the general public while providing sophisticated characteristics for expert verification. The brilliant colors and dynamic effects make any counterfeiting attempt immediately obvious, as the optical complexity and color saturation are beyond the reach of conventional printing or reproduction methods.

KINEGRAM COLORS can be integrated into various banknote substrates and incorporated into security threads, patches, or stripes. The technology supports customization, allowing central banks to specify color combinations, movement patterns, and design elements that align with their currency's aesthetic and security strategy.

The feature addresses the dual challenge of providing both public accessibility and technical sophistication—casual users can quickly verify authenticity through the distinctive visual effect, while security professionals can examine finer details for higher-level authentication. This makes it particularly valuable in markets with varying levels of cash-handling expertise and where public confidence in currency security is paramount.
