Celebration Notes 'Tree of Life' with KINEGRAM® Technologies
As KURZ Banknote Security’s production site in Sulzbach-Rosenberg celebrates its 30th anniversary, we are delighted to showcase a brand-new set of celebration notes 'Tree of Life' themed around the beauty and strength of nature and the passage of time. Just as KURZ has grown from its roots in hot stamping into a wide range of products and industries, so too has the oak at the heart of these new celebration notes. It is an ecosystem that supports countless lives, from the soil it anchors underground to every branch and leaf reaching toward the sky.
Celebration Note 'Day' is a perfect example of a wide KINEGRAM ZERO.ZERO® stripe with impressive effects, golden metallization, and seamless design integration. The daytime scene shows the old oak drawing water up from the earth to nourish each bough and leaf. On the reverse, a bird swoops in to perch amidst the foliage where, when spring comes again, it will nest, and the tree will cradle a new generation of life.
Celebration Note 'Dusk' is a perfect example of a wide KINEGRAM® HDM stripe with impressive effects (such as Golden Mirror, Achromatic Effect, or Deep Spot) and seamless design integration. The tree at dusk is softly lit by the waning daylight, with shadows lengthening as evening approaches. Among the leaf litter, deer move carefully - alert, yet reassured by the steady, towering presence of the oak, a place they will return to time and again throughout their lives.
Celebration Note 'Night' is a perfect example of a wide KINEGRAM® COSMIC stripe with impressive effects (such as Colorful Movement, Flux Effect, or Surface Relief) and seamless design integration. By night, the tree is bathed in moonlight that silvers its knurls and contours, shaped across the aeons of its long life. A fox races past its mighty trunk, seeking opportunity in unsuspecting small mammals or insects asleep in the darkness.
On the reverse side of all celebration notes, you will also find a KINEGRAM® VIVID patch - created to mark the 30th anniversary and in a matching color.
Through countless day-and-night cycles, the tree endures, standing as a testament to stability and longevity, holding the memories of the many lives that have passed through its roots and branches. The concept reflects our goal of creating banknotes that are beautiful, enduring, and secure.
