Banknote Paper
Whether you’re planning a single new banknote for a special event or replacing your entire series, you’re sure to find the right high-tech banknote paper for you in our extensive portfolio. They are all highly secure and designed for a long lifespan. If there’s one thing we’re known for, it’s our holistic approach to banknote projects. The first step is choosing the right substrate adapted to your circulation conditions.
You can be sure your substrate is sustainable, too. Louisenthal has been committed to ecological production practices for decades. Our cotton is sourced from offcuts and waste products from the textile industry, while our factories use regenerative hydroelectric power and other processes for reducing water and energy consumption as well as CO2 emissions.
Banknote Intelligence – helping you make the right decisions at the right time
If you’re looking to improve your banknote and cash cycle performance, it can be hard to know where to start. Masses of data is generated every day during the cash cycle and not all organisations have the time or resources to analyse it. That’s where our Data Intelligence Consulting service comes in. Let’s say you want to know which substrate is most suitable for maximising banknote lifespan. Our Data Intelligence Consulting team will conduct test runs under various conditions, collect the banknote machine data from them, analyse it using advanced data intelligence tools, and present the result to you in a report along with a clear overview of the reasoning behind our recommendations.
Our customers typically use our Data Intelligence Service to
- Deliver insight on the return frequency and lifespan of banknotes
- Analyse the behaviour and lifespan of notes using a particular substrate or finish
- Compare the performance of different print runs or different suppliers
- Test the long-term durability of machine-readable features
