RollingStar has a proven security concept based on three pillars:
Secure technology – the combination of ColourShift technology and millions of micromirrors per square centimetre, makes forgery extremely difficult.
Secure effects – the stunning and unique effects prompt users to look at and “play” with them. This creates familiarity and makes it easier to detect a forgery.
Secure design – this ensures that the security features are attractively eye-catching while remaining completely unique for higher security.
Secure by design
RollingStar offers real flexibility in your banknote design and security with additional options and a choice of effects:
RollingStar Registered: enhancement of design and security
Register the thread in a precise position on the paper and lock your story into the banknote. To register the thread involves assigning a defined motif to each window, enabling you to coordinate the thread with the banknote design.
That ensures a harmonious whole, a banknote that conveys the story you want to tell, and the highest level of security. RollingStar Registered is also acclaimed by the industry: it won the prestigious International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA) Best House Note Award in 2017.
