Interactive Features from IQ Structures

Following the return of in-person events, one company that has been prominent with its range of eye-catching optically variable features is IQ Structures, the largest of three subsidiaries of the IQS Group in the Czech Republic, which specialises in lithography techniques, 3D nano-printing and industrial replication of nanostructured materials.

IQS Nanoptiqs focuses on micro- and nano-structured optics for applications in LED lighting, sensors, and automotive lighting. IQS Nano develops lithographic and 3D nano printing technologies for use in 3D hierarchical architecture metamaterials and medical applications, as well as for anti-counterfeiting and micro/nanostructured optics.

IQ Structures, meanwhile, develops and produces security features for banknotes and high security documents which combine nano-scale precision with advanced aesthetics to create optical elements that are technically complex but easy to view and authenticate.
