A Quick Trip to the ‘Enhanced’ Galaxy

Advanced technologies continue to improve and become even more sophisticated. This is definitely so for the enduring R+D work focused on reducing the banknote counterfeit threat.

And the pace of change has not slowed down, as we see recent technical developments in the Galaxy™ thread have brought a richer, faster, and more brilliant dimension to the thread.

Louisenthal has been known to develop a sophisticated range of security arsenal from the diversity of watermarks, through to threads, foils, windows and hidden features. In the quest for enhancing the Galaxy thread, the key elements remain:

• ColourShift effects which combine to provide a highly attractive and user-friendly feature

• motifs which appear at various depths on the foil and the graphic elements can be viewed from all angles

• a truly three-dimensional thread with 360° authentication

• can be optioned with machine readable functionality through magnetic coding (MultiCode™)

• last but not least, advanced micro-mirror technology, but now with a perceptible difference.
