Neighbours – a Perfect Campus for Polymer Note Production

Neighbours is the iconic soap opera which came to an end this year after nearly 30 years of screening the lives and loves of the residents of the mythical suburban Ramsey Street in Erinsborough, Australia.

A better, real life and more long lasting version of neighbours in practice can be seen at Craigieburn, just north of Melbourne. It is where Note Printing Australia (NPA) and CCL Secure are based. It also houses the Reserve Bank of Australia’s National Banknote Site, the central facility for the storage and processing of currency.

This unique co-location serves not only to reinforce the integrity and cooperation amongst all players in the Australian cash cycle, but – as far as NPA and CCL Secure are concerned – supports a close cooperation, the most recent example being their collaboration in supporting the 1,000 piso polymer trial in the Philippines.
