KBA-NotaSys AG/S.A.

To stay ahead of counterfeiters, new security features -both overt and covert -are applied to a banknote. However, these features are only as effective as the quality of the application.

Our family of quality control systems performs distinct yet complementary roles that can be divided into three categories.

Perfection in Pre-Press is necessary to achieve the best and most consistent quality on-press. The task of the designer, when developing a new banknote design is to create an artistic fusion between aesthetics and security.

The designer’s objective is to make maximum use of all the possibilities offered by the various banknote printing processes so as to obtain the highest quality print results.

The challenge in plate-production is to reach high consistency throughout all the processes while transforming the designer’s work in the best possible way. To achieve the desired level of consistency and quality great skill is needed.

We believe that effective banknote design is a harmonious relationship between aesthetic beauty, artistic creativity, physical security and the possibility to produce efficiently. KBA-NotaSys offers the most complete and comprehensive range of tools, services and training to enable clients to achieve the results they require in their production process.

The wide range of security technologies that can be found on banknotes today reflects the spirit of innovation, creativity and evolution that symbolises our industry.

Banknotes remain the preferred and most efficient form of payment around the world despite the introduction of alternative systems. The successful adaptation and integration of specific printed security technologies into banknotes has elevated their security, functionality and durability. We have been at the forefront of this activity, identifying and developing the features and the processes necessary to print banknotes in a secure and cost-effective manner.

Our security printing equipment and services are exclusively available to high security printers and each and every machine is closely monitored from the time of delivery to its destruction in order to protect the interests of our industry as a whole.
