A New Star is Born

Louisenthal has added a new security thread to its portfolio based on its RollingStar® technology, which combines two security technologies – ColourShift for colour changes and micro-mirrors for dynamic effects arranged according to highly complex algorithms. For the new thread, RollingStar® i+, the two technologies have, through intensive research and in conjunction with magnetics for machine-read, been elevated to a new level.

Louisenthal first launched RollingStar in 2011. Today, almost 100 denominations worldwide have successfully integrated the threads, which have won several industry awards over the last ten years. But nothing stands still, as Louisenthal says, and with constantly increasing demands placed on banknotes, there is and always will be the need for banknotes with visually attractive, eye-catching, and machine-readable features. Especially so for security threads.
