The Artistry Behind Security

Design

At Orell Füssli we believe that design and security go hand-in-hand. We excel in creating outstanding banknote designs with maximum counterfeit protection.

Design builds bridges and makes complex content accessible. Orell Füssli is an expert in this field and creates visual narratives recognized intuitively. We do this by prioritising research and working closely with Central Banks to fully understand a country's cultural identity and how it can be expressed through design. The resulting designs are easy to verify and highly trusted.

Our design team specializes in creating visual presentations that help central banks and governments convey complex information to the general public.

Origination

The origination process transforms the banknote design into a printable, secure document. There are several aspects to be taken into consideration when turning a banknote design into printable data.

The origination process is closely connected with banknote design but also demands a deep understanding of print-plate-making and printing. Origination requires an aesthetic notion of design issues, in-depth knowledge of the various security features, and an understanding of printing machines and processes.
