The perfect-register KINEGRAM ZERO.ZERO^® metallization or the High Definition Metallization (KINEGRAM^® HDM) can fundamentally increase the security level of a banknote, raising the bar for counterfeiters to a virtually insurmountable level, while at the same time offering unique design and integration possibilities.
