Raw Material Sourcing and Analysis of Industry Trends

Substrate

Within cotton and polymer, we advise on sourcing unique or generic threads, rare fibers, and other features to be built right into substrate production.

Often, this requires a robust process that can withstand later tribulations such as the disintegrating tendencies of intaglio printing.

Inks

Beyond durability (and beauty), we look for the most cutting-edge Level 2 and Level 3 covert techniques for improving watermarking, high-speed sorting, and cash handling through automated process.

We stay abreast of the latest technologies.

Commemorative

Commemorative banknotes is an area of growing importance for central banks as a way to test out new production processes and security features, in a lower-stakes setting, that can have the advantage of creating new revenue streams for the issuer, while providing the public delightful, unusual keepsakes to honor tradition while looking ahead.

Passports

Other

Identity is the uniqueness of the human being who has been created in God’s likeness, placed in terrestrial manifestation. Thanks to modern technological advances, our passports have extraordinary security features, from long before the printing, from the creation of substrate.

We apply the eyes of a banknote maker to the idea generation for passport paper, from beautiful watermarking to unusual thread insertion.

We are always close to trends. We can do specialty projects such as implementation of CBDC, and raw materials and commodities trading and sourcing.
